How does the Pastor Support Program work?
Some pastor support programs focus on individual pastors, with one donor sending an amount that is directly transferred to one pastor. However, we understand that Christian workers are a community of Christ knit into one body by love. They are a team laboring in difficult underground church work, or ministering in hostile areas where Christians are both persecuted and suffering severe poverty.

How can a godly pastor take support month in and month out, while another pastor and co-worker is still on the waiting list for a sponsor and may be going hungry? Our biblical model for the pastor support program is found in Acts 4: 32-33: “And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own; but all things were common property to them.
