Does it bother you like it does me when Christian “ministers” come to town, invite you to a meeting, and then ask for a handout?
It’s like finding a fly in your tea. It ruins the whole experience. You thought you had a free invitation only to discover you were invited to a fund-raising event.
We do everything we can to avoid this. This is why all our meetings were paid for before we got on the road. We don’t need gas money, because we have already budgeted for it. (What a concept!)
Our first traveling meeting of our Westward trip was last night in Missoula, Montana.
The mountains were beautiful, questions were asked, sound doctrine was spoken, and people were encouraged by making connections with others in their area. Success!
All the resources at the meeting were free. Three boxes of books and tracts were handed out to support the local ministry of those that attended. Success!
If you are in the Seattle (WA), Salem (OR), or Boise (ID) area we will be hosting similar meetings this week in those areas. Full details below:

There needs to be churches in these places established on the grace of God. The best way to do this is not to take from them, but to give freely as the Lord gave and paid for us.
Looking forward to a week of giving grace to the Pacific Northwest!
For His Glory,
