Note: Subjects on raising support is one of the most difficult subjects and challenges facing Christians in ministry today. We must face fears of rejection, others concerns about biblical validity, questions of being deserving and the constant anxiety regarding limited resources which can be reasons that stop many ministries from obtaining the means to fulfill their calling.


For these reason we stand firm on Titus 3:-9. and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law, stand away from--for they are unprofitable and vain. Donations received from the options offered here go for the stability and advancement of the ministry.
