| Rough, I don't know the percentage, but let the ole timer say a word here.Them men/women what are bi-vocational pastors is to be commended even more than many full-time pastors. Each has its own pitfalls/privileges, but fellers what work a secular job 40 |

| I do not know the % but I would guess in the USA probably 30% fall into the category of having funds to pay utilities and upkeep and if they have a church payment struggle to meet it. The pastor in those cases as many of you well know then kicks in to help. I will say amen to OTCP's comment.As a pastor I did not work, but we had no debts and no insurance of anykind.after utilities were paid we had around $20-25 a week. I once went to the bank and borrowed $60 for 6 months to get my car fixed. Payments were $20.75 a month. Funny thing we were as happy as pigs in mud.The LWWB baked them and I sold fried pies every week to keep the church going. WE were blessed to never need any insurance.That is not a sob story, we had a ball and worshiped God. Many pastors have done MUCH MUCH MUCH more than I ever did. Plus I quit after about 6 years. But it had NOTHING to do with finances or size of the church. Quitting was ME! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |
