Since the beginning of this outreach in 1996, all donations given to this ministry have gone toward helping cover essential ministry expenses, and no salaries have been paid. We are fully aware it is biblical that the labors who keep this ministry going "are worthy of their hire" as Luke 10:7 states, but God will have to speak to the heart's of His people regarding that matter in the future, if He desires things to change. We fully realize God is and will remain our provider, and He has always been faithful to make a way for us to be able to do the ministry we have been called to do, and we are so thankful to Him for it!
On a more personal note: Roughly 80% of the numbers you see above come from our own personal giving to the ministry. The roughly 20% remainder comes in from outside giving -- donations from outside sources. We would certainly like to see that percentage change, but again - we leave this matter in God's hands. We receive no tax benefits from our own personal giving to the ministry. Our primary source of income at the present time is Norm's monthly Social Security.
We receive many requests for financial assistance from time to time, especially from third-world country ministries, and rather than having to take the time to answer each of them about our financial situation, we're hoping this expanded explanation of our financial status will help many of those saints realize our inability to do much more than what we are already doing to help win souls for Jesus Christ through Precious Testimonies.
We purpose to be a ministry of utmost integrity and honesty, being transparent and totally above board at all times with the precious love offerings God blesses this ministry with to operate on. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have. Our email address is: ptoffice@precious-testimonies.com
