SUPPORT CENTRAL PA AREA DIRECTOR JIM TYSON
Dear Ministry Partners,
I hope this letter finds you well and filled with the joy of the Lord. As we continue our journey of faith and service in Central Pennsylvania, I wanted to take a moment to share with you an urgent need regarding our ministry.
First, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your faithful support of CBMC over the years. Your generosity has been instrumental in helping us spread the message of Christ's love and transformational power to businessmen throughout our region. Your prayers, encouragement, and financial support have made a tangible difference in the lives of countless individuals.
However, I must also share with you a pressing concern that weighs heavily on me. Despite our best efforts, I find myself facing a significant gap between monthly revenue needs and the current level of giving. Missional ministry is unlike a more traditional employment situation in that I am responsible for raising the funding to cover all taxes, including the full 12.4% for Social Security, health insurance, salary, and expenses, as well as 12% of all funds raised which helps to fund the national organization. My monthly expenses, then, are taxes - $1240; health benefits - $1180; salary - $6000 (gross); and office, administrative, travel, and ministry support - $1580. This is a monthly total of $10,000. Regrettably, the current monthly giving stands at only $2,100. This does not include the funding for our other field staffers, Dave Waterman and Tony Beckett. Both Tony and Dave currently have a good stream of support.
Obviously, this shortfall poses a serious challenge to effectively carry out our mission and expand our impact in Central Pennsylvania. We are embarking on new endeavors, such as the launch of the team in Harrisburg, the potential establishment of a team in Altoona, and the development of a Trusted Advisor Forum. Additionally, there is encouraging growth and renewal in our existing teams. With this activity the need for support has never been greater.
In light of this, I am reaching out to you, our members and supporters, with a humble request for your continued or first-time partnership. Would you prayerfully consider adding my ministry to your giving if you are not a support partner, or increasing your monthly giving if you are a support partner? Or would you consider making a one-time donation to help bridge the gap?
You can easily make your contribution online by visiting https://give.idonate.com/cbmc-inc/centralpa. Every gift, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and is an investment in advancing the Kingdom and seeing every businessman in Central Pennsylvania come into a life-transforming encounter with Jesus.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to CBMC and your dedication to spreading the Gospel in our community. May God bless you abundantly as you partner with us in this important work.
With gratitude and blessings,
Jim Tyson
Central Pennsylvania Area Director
