Ministerial Relief

I received with joy yesterday the love gift of the PCA for my family, and I praise my God and provider. Please convey my thanks to the Board and assure them that I will try by God’s grace to be a faithful steward of your trust.

- Widow with dependent children

We are grateful for God’s people who are aware of the predicament of some retired ministers and those who give generously for financial help… We are thankful the Lord has raised up agents to administer such aid, with compassion, to needful servants of His grace. Having served only in small churches and thus not able to contribute more toward retirement, despite our stretching and sacrifice in other areas to do so, my retirement contributions were meager…we are most grateful for your ongoing work that so kindly “makes up my lack.” Sincere thanksgiving.

- Retired pastor and wife

The welcome and appreciated check arrived, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude and praise to our Heavenly Father. This is a tremendous blessing in so many ways and will give me the ability to catch up on some other current needs. Thank you for your kind and caring concern and needed help. Please express my gratitude to the PCA Ministerial Relief Fund members for making this possible. What a great reminder that our Heavenly Father will provide for our needs.

- Pastor’s widow

I cannot begin to thank you enough for your generous gift. As a family, we are humbled and awe-struck by God’s’ merciful provision through you. Your gift has prompted us to say, “Oh Lord, who are we that you should love us and take care of us? Bless the Lord for His love and tender mercies… Thank you for ministering to us in our time of need.

- Pastor without call

Thank you so much for the kindness of what you do. Christ’s love has helped me heal so much and it has been so evident in this gift. It has allowed me to be covered for my health benefit and much needed eye surgery that I would’ve waited too long for otherwise. The blessings are so humbling. Please know that I intend to put back as I am able so that others may also be blessed.

- Pastor’s widow whose life insurance payout was delayed

Thank you for supporting us faithfully for the past year. Even though we never met you personally, thank you for sharing your love and kindness to us….. I promised my mom that I will help out those who are in need when I grow up, so please pray for me that I can grow up to be a godly woman. Though I am young, I appreciate a lot of things in life. On behalf of my three siblings and my mom, thank you!
