GoFundMe Accounts for Pioneering

[Jack Ryan]

I recently saw a JW pioneer couple post this ad on GoFundme

This is from part of the ad -

We are moving to another state to assist a small Spanish-speaking congregation. For anyone who's ever moved you know how stressful and expensive this can be. But we feel confident that our Heavenly Father is behind us and that He can touch the heart of others to assist us in practical ways!
We are the Brandons, Will and Theresa. We have been engaged in an International Bible educational work for the past 30 years now.
Presently we are full-time preachers known as pioneers in the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses. A pioneer spends a minimum of 70 hours a month declaring the good news of God’s kingdom.

In addition we have the privilege of being part of the LDC - Local Design Construction so we can work as volunteers supporting disaster recovery efforts and building Kingdom Halls all over the world.

The work is done in over 230 lands and in over 700 languages.
Our desire is not only to continue serving in the United States but if possible, in foreign lands where the needs are greater. We are also trying to eliminate our remaining debt so that we can be free to accept whatever assignment we are qualified for in Jehovah's earthly organiztion. For this and other reasons we are seeking financial sponsors to help us in this once in a lifetime work based on Matthew 24:14 “And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
Your contributions will allow us to accomplish these goals and will be greatly appreciated not only by us but by the others whose lives we can influence for good.
Thank you for considering this request and your support in advance.

Things are getting bad?!!??!! I do not understand this advertisement? Truly it is not illegal to use this method, but what does it show of our spiritual health if we have not count the cost of our ministry? Maybe we should not be in this work, if we can not rely fully on Jehovah! Something to think about! You think????

Two ways you can look at it.

1. Jehovah will fully provide (i.e., they will get donations).

2. Jehovah will not provide (no donations).
