Dear Friends of Germantown Hope,
I continue to thank the Lord for your support for our church planting ministry in the Germantown community of Philadelphia. I wanted to update you on some significant changes coming to our church for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins in July. Since graduating from denominational grants a few years ago, G.Hope has consistently spent more money than it brought in every year. This has meant that we had to make some very tough choices. I went to a part-time pay status a year ago, and for the upcoming fiscal year, my salary had to be cut back even further. I have been carrying on numerous "very-part-time" jobs in order to make ends meet; our new situation means an even heavier burden in the new year. So, in order to adjust to our new situation, I am now actively looking for a full-time employment that will support my family while enabling me to continue my work as pastor at G.Hope.
Our new situation represents some grave challenges, but it also represents new opportunities. For example, we plan to further spread out pastoral responsibilities among our group of elders--it has been my privilege to witness the Lord raising them up to their leadership roles in the church.
Needless to say, your continued support through prayer and financial contributions is greatly appreciated. Given the size of our budget, even a small gift will go a long way. If you are able, would you consider committing to a regular giving? 50 friends giving $50 a month will help cover most of the shortfall we are experiencing. And if you know of others who would like to partner with us in the mission to our neighborhood, please get us in touch with each other. Again, I am deeply grateful to the Lord for you. May the Lord strengthen you in your love for him as you also seek to walk with him.
Shalom,
Kyuboem Lee
