I would like to interact with all patrons who desire to be a part of this ministry to which I've been called. My hope is to have live online meetings with patrons on a monthly basis where we can get to know each other and support one another in love.

Help believers, new and old, learn to be disciples, knowing the body of and identity in Christ.

The desire of my heart since I surrendered to the Lord in February of 1985 has been two-fold.

  1. Share the good news of the gospel with all who will hear it.
  2. Provoke fellow believers to live a more holy life.

This podcast is a means to share many lessons and stories of disciples, discipleship, and discipling others. I believe we should all have mentors as well as being mentors to others. This constant tension encourages spiritual growth and is the work of the Kingdom of God as we make disciples, and as disciples encourage one another, as in iron sharpening iron.

I encourage you to seek the Lord on how to support this effort - prayer, participation, financial. The key is for each of us to walk in obedience as we agree with the Lord in what we should do, even if the answer is to do nothing.

Thank you for your consideration,

John

Online Production Costs

$150 per month

From the podcast, to websites, to online gatherings, there are out-of-pocket expenses. The achievement of this goal will offset the associated costs and set me up to do greater ministry concerning the needs of others - both spiritually and physically.

 

As I get things rolling, I would like to do live conversations and interact with any patrons who would like to be a part of this ministry to which God has called me.

 

Thank you for your consideration,

John

In HIS Heartbeat

$300 per month

"In HIS Heartbeat" is a worship time on a Saturday afternoon and evening at the local fairgrounds on the outdoor stage featuring live worship leaders and bands. The only goal is for believers in the area to gather together and worship God - a city wide worship gathering.

Year one was a simple worship in the park event for an afternoon with a couple of leaders with acoustic guitars. The following three years grew into a gathering with a variety of worship leaders and bands.

 

Achieving this goal would enable us to cover the $1000 to $1500 cost it has taken for the event in the past.

 

Thank you for your consideration,

John

Matching Funds

$500 per month

This level of monthly pledges would help to make possible increased ministry to my city. The increase to this pledge amount would roughly match my base monthly contribution into the ministry at this point.

501 And Above = More Time

$2,500 per month

Any dollar beyond the $500/month level would relieve me of laboring elsewhere to earn that dollar, which in turn allows me to spend that time moving forward as the Lord would lead.

 

Jobs I have left would produce roughly $500/week and allow me to live a comfortable life. As it is now, I work as I need to, doing whatever the Lord leads me into (handyman, roadie, snow plowing, etc.).

 

God provides all that I need. We will see if this is one means of meeting any or all of that provision.

 

Thank you for your consideration,

John
