I hesitated to blog about this, but a friend of mine told me that people can’t help when they don’t know what the needs are.
The church I serve as pastor is very small, and for most of my time as pastor I have been bi-vocational, working an outside job to help pay the bills. Unfortunately, recent economic conditions have affected things around here, as they have everywhere, and I have not had work outside the church in almost a year now. We are getting by, and all the bills are current, but most (all!) “extras” have been severely curtailed.
I have long desired to attend the Shepherds’ Conference at John MacArthur’s church, and so I am asking for your help. My church as set up a pastor’s conference fund, and I need to raise $1000 in order to attend the conference next March.
If you would like to help, please send your check to:
Superior Baptist Church
Pastor’s Conference Fund
PO Box 850
Superior, MT 59872
Thank you, and I’ll keep you updated!
Update #1
People have asked if they could donate with PayPal. There is now a PayPal button on the sidebar.
Also, several folks have asked “Why so much to go to a conference?” Good question, and here’s the breakdown:
- Conference – $300
- Fuel down and back – $300
- 5 nights hotel – $400
- 9 days food ($20/day) –$180
- Total est. cost = $1180.00
