Greetings fellow members of Christian Chat, i.e. CC.
For those that do not know I am Bishop SEH. I serve in full time vocational ministry, that means I preach and teach the Word of God reaching out and making and training Disciples for Christ. While this forum does not resemble any common format of a church it does very closely match what we call a Bible Study. People come here and spend anywhere between 1 and 100 hours here a month.
As with any ministry, it costs real money to keep it going. In a traditional bible study things like books, study guides and the mortgage and light bill would have to be paid for in order to keep the bible study going. While most do not want to think about what it costs to keep this site here, there is a price tag. This site costs $3000 a month, which let me tell you is a very small sum, to keep this site running.
People behind the scenes work 60 and 70 hour work weeks so that you and I can come and share our perspective of the faith and to help raise up men and women to advance the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior. While your first priority in giving is your home church, support of missions, which this site qualifies as due to its international foot print, is also good and Godly.
Recently, I added CC to our International missions offeratory. My prayer is that, in time the church where I serve will be able to meet all the needs of this site but until then, your help is greatly needed. Let's be honest, times are hard. Which means times are hard for this site too. If you love being here and posting here then exercise what the Bible calls, cheerful giving.
Let me be clear, I do not work for this site. I receive no compensation for writing this. I just believe in what this site is all about. I encourage you to remember the widow's offering in Mark 12:41-44. Jesus noticed the giving of the poor widow and held it up as an example for us to follow.
This site has my support, does it have yours? Below is a link where you can donate. It doesn't matter if its $1 or $1,000,000, giving is done out of love for the Lord and to advance His Kingdom. So the next time you are going to get a Starbucks or some fast food but decide instead to stay in and post here, why not invest that amount here?

May the Lord bless your giving.
In Christ,
