I believe that where God guides, he provides. Yet, just as I learned how to preach, I had to learn how to raise support. The way I have raised support is by fearlessly praying and communicating.
First, I pray to find out what God wants me to do, and then through prayer I apply his promises to those needs. Second, in an honest up-front way, I share with my home church and prayer partners what I intend to do and what I need to get the job done. I have never begged for money. Instead, after praying about my needs, church leaders and supporters usually ask what I need. Sometimes the Lord gives me creative ways to share those needs through communication with my support team.
I must admit it is hard for me to ask for help in this economy because I know there are those that are in need themselves. However, when I do ask it is because I know that God wants to bless those that step out and do support financially as well as prayerfully.
So, here's what is happening in the next few years. I normally do three events through WHOLE Ministries and we reach out to the less fortunate that have suffered abuse and need help coping and getting back to normal. With WHOLE ministries our main focus is the community of unchurched individuals that seek our help. In 2015 we want to raise that three events to six.
Because these are free events, location, food and materials cost us and we provide in a spirit of excellence according to the budget we have. In 2015 we want to do more class room teaching and series so we can truly help them understand god's love and get some practical application experience.
Through Living Above Hurt, we deal with the Church community. again these individuals are lost in the House. they are hurting and need to remember who they are and whose they are. normally we will do four events a year but we want to raise that to six.
We also want to start a more active online ministry and have an annual retreat that people can come to and truly be delivered and redeemed from their past.
this is not your usual church ministry, we are not afraid to get our hands dirty and to stay in the pit until the one we are working with is able to stand up and move forward.
If you reading this blog, then you have an understanding about ministry and deliverance. You know that sometimes you cant just sing a song and say a prayer. Sometime you have to fight for your life. Sometimes you have to battle demons that don't want you to be free. We are here to help those that want to be helped.
Your donation of $5, $10, $15, $20, or $100, $500 or more can help us reach our goal and continue what we have started and spread it to other communities and cities. This is our prayer.
We need your prayers but we also would appreciate your financial support. Click here to make a donation today. Just so you know, we are praying for anyone that makes any amount donation. We want God to give it back to you 100-fold.
You are no longer Bound!
