undershepherd that is underpaid.
I just want to vent out my sadness here… since I can’t speak about this to our small community church.
hi, i’m 28, single, and a pastor.
And being a full time pastor to a young and struggling church is literally the hardest thing I did in my life… and for the last five years I’ve been trying and giving all i could.
Gladly, God has been faithful to our church. we are gradually growing in numbers and the congregation always comes home with a well-fed spirit from the Word. Though majority of our members doesn’t come from a well-off situation, i’m just glad that despite of those challenges, we are able to commit and serve God and his people.
i’m just glad and maybe somehow surprised how God made me survive with $4,000 yearly salary… i cannot deny that its so painful and its so hard.
but deep inside me, there is joy and peace that maybe in some way, God uses me as his instrument for his glory, especially for these people who have no hope but God through this small church.
thanks for listening… i just need to let it out. 😊 good night my brethren’s
