I've written longer pieces explaining my situation and what I'm trying to do. If you can't find those and are interested in reading them, then email me at protoprotestant@gmail.com and I will send you some links.
To put it briefly I am self-employed and work full time. However I can control my schedule to some degree. My needs are few and I live off of a very low income by American standards. I don't want to make money. I don't run my business with 'profit' in mind. I simply want to survive and give my time to the concerns of the Kingdom. Apart from my family, my life and my time are devoted to these writings.
More than anything I want to pursue this project and write about things that are happening in the Church and the world. Obviously if you understand and agree with what I'm saying then you will acknowledge there are very few who are doing what I'm doing, let alone with the perspective I'm advocating. We live in a spiritually dark but exciting time. I believe the hour has grown quite desperate.
I want to expand this project, not for monetary gain but to continue to find venues to reach people and help them to understand what is going on and how we can respond. I have so many things I want to write about, including Scriptural studies but the time is just not there. Delving into Scripture gives me more joy and satisfaction than writing about geopolitics but it also involves more time and effort. I have lists of things to write about that I just can't get to. In some ways though I've been writing online for thirteen years, I feel like I've barely got past the introduction. God's will be done. I will keep at it.
Time is something I don't have a great deal of because as I said, I have to work to make ends meet. If you believe in what I'm doing then I ask for your support. Give as you're able. Use the PayPal button or if you prefer some other method, drop me a line. The money will not be wasted. If you want testimonies as to how I and my family live I can provide them. I'm not playing the get rich 'ministry' game. We're just trying to get by and are content to live in the 'lower class'. And yet that type of life can be a struggle and without security you are subject to some hard knocks. And we've suffered more than a few over the past couple of years. 2022-2023 has been pretty rough but I know it has been for many of you as well.
It pains me to write this, but with tax bills coming due, we're struggling and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your prayers and encouragement. It is a glory to follow Christ and we live in an amazing time. Even so come Lord Jesus!
