Financial Support

We have been privilaged to have been joined in ministry by friends who contributed to the work of JPUSA either financially, materially, or in prayer. We covet your prayers for every aspect of our life together and outreach to the neighborhood and beyond through the ministry of our bands, magazine and festival. We do most of our own support via community-owned businesses, and we ask you to join us in praying for these as well. Yet as much as God has blessed us over the years, it seems that He's continually required more of us: we've always been stretched financially and people-wise. We appreciate and consider it an honor for those outside the community who over the years have seen fit to donate money or time, along with their prayers, for the continuing ministries of JPUSA. In the coming months, we hope to make it possible for those interested in making a tax-deductable donation to JPUSA or a particular JPUSA ministry, to do so online, using a fully secure server. In the meantime, we'll use this page to post some specific financial or material needs and opportunities for our friends to help meet those needs.

Many thanks in advance to those who choose to serve with us in this way.
