I have a number of pastor friends of mine who are bi-vocational. Because the churches they pastor can’t afford to pay a full-time salary, a number of them have to work a “real job” in addition to their church responsibilities. For most of them, it’s incredibly draining.
For one, many of them now have to work a combined 60+ hours a week. Second, because their time is divided they aren’t able to polish their skills as preachers or pastors. I, along with our entire staff, are blessed to be able to dedicate our full-time attention to the ministries of Alliance Bible Church. This allows us to focus our entire work week on becoming, in character and competency, the best pastors and directors we can be. It’s both a relief and a great joy! So ‘thank you!’ Thank you for your generosity in faithfully supporting Alliance Bible Church. You could put your money in a thousand other places other than your church, but you’ve chosen instead to sacrifice for the benefit of this church. If my wife was writing this she would say ‘thank you’ as well. Because I don’t have to get a second job to support her and our kids, I get to spend time with them. So your generosity also helps create the conditions needed for our family to be healthy. You are appreciated and we greatly feel your appreciation as well!
