Help Provide for Future Issues of Jesus First

For over six years Jesus First has been distributing a newsletter that supports Gospel-Centered, Mission-Driven, Future-Oriented Leadership for the LCMS.

We have distributed the newsletter as frequently as daily during the Synod Convention and as infrequently as once every three months.  The frequency of publication is determined by two factors: the number of articles that need to be shared and our financial ability to provide the newsletter.

Dependent on Readers

Certain groups have alleged in the past that some mysterious billionaire finances Jesus First.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  We are financed by the contributions of readers and congregations who believe that we are helping the LCMS.  Every dollar contributed goes to the expenses of sending out our publications.  All leaders in Jesus First donate their time and their expenses of travel and related work.

Frequency

At this time, we are publishing approximately every three months. There will be more frequent updates on the website as needed.  You may now ask that the newsletter and/or individual articles be sent to you by e-mail.  Sign up for this service on the website:  www.jesusfirst.net.

Support in 2005 and 2006

Financial support increases in the year prior to the Convention. For this we are extremely grateful.  The next one is 2007.  For regular publications before then, we will need your continued financial support also in 2005 and 2006.  Gifts are tax deductible and may be sent to the address listed below.

Please note  the new address. Pastor Vern Gundermann is retiring from Concordia Lutheran Church in Kirkwood, MO and will be receiving the mail at P.O. Box 220551, Saint Louis, Missouri  63122.

Finally, Jesus First would like to thank all of the people who have so generously supported our work in the past.  Together we are making a difference in the LCMS and in God’s Kingdom. JJC
