Dear Friends of a Distinctive, Confessional Lutheran Ministry of Word and Sacrament:
The Augustana Ministerium has been doing its best to spend everything it can to help pastors and their families with medical bills, rent or mortgage payments, clothing and food for their families, and whatever other needs it can meet. Over $200,000.00 has been given to those who are suffering over the past ten years. Unfortunately, very few pastors seem to publicize the needs of the *only* organization doing this on a large scale, so the funding is getting rather thin…even while the ranks of those who need help continue to grow. One LCMS pastor has had needs of nearly $10,000.00 taken care of so far this year…but his needs are not ending…but The Augustana Ministerium’s resources to help him are, unless you contribute “very soon”…like within the week. Thus, I implore you to make out a check of whatever size and send it to: The Augustana Ministerium c/o The Rev. Gregory J. Schultz, Bursar 1314 S. Cattleman Dr. Milliken, CO 80543 AND ALSO, to spread this request around your congregation, so that others may help. IF YOU WOULD RATHER donate online, either send via PayPal to tambur...@gmail.com or click a “Donate” button on The Augustana Ministerium’s web site at http://augustanaministerium.org If you send a check, please email the Rev. Gregory Schultz, TAM’s Bursar, to let him know that it is coming. Just send to tambur...@gmail.com Thank you for considering this request; a good many pastors whose congregations either wouldn’t *or legitimately COULDN’T* pay them enough to sustain them in dire needs have been helped by The Augustana Ministerium…but this organization that spends next to nothing in administrative costs and has never had (and will never have) a paid employee cannot con tin to exist without the funds that let it give the aid that is the reason for its existence. + Information for Confess And Teach For Unity's eList Subscribers + Posts to this list are sent by/through the Confess and Teach For Unity List Administrator at his sole discretion; you are receiving them because you are *or have been* a subscriber to one or more email lists run by Confess and Teach for Unity (CAT41.org).
