I am giving opportunity for people at SermonIndex to help support and cover some or all the costs of myself (Greg Gordon) going to bible college. I will be able to cover some of the costs but will definetly need some help to continue to finish the 2 year associates of theology degree. I appreciate any help provided as I continue to work on SermonIndex full-time along side being a student.
If anyone has any questions let me know. Thanks for the faithful prayers and support.

thank you for another brother that contributed to help support me to go to bible college. I will be in BC, Canada for this summer serving at a church. I will be at bible college for the next 4 months after and the $2800 will be for food and board.
I appreciate any help from the saints from SI. I do work on sermonindex fulltime and have been supported fulltime from this site for 3 years with some contractual computer work inbetween.
This website is obviously not a big ministry and has little overhead. the things the Lord has allowed to happen with a small amount is staggering. Prayerfully considering getting behind this ministry. This will enable me to work on the website fulltime as I take schooling in BC, Canada.
This is definitely a worthy cause. Greg has displayed great maturity and leadership with his ministry. SermonIndex is a wonderful resource! Greg, may the Lord continue to bless you mightily!

Hello...!!!
This is a tremendous opportunity for the SermonIndex community to support the Administrator (Greg). Greg has been working diligently for several years to maintain this wonderful resource. It has come at great personal cost -- including time, money and effort. Yet so many of us have reaped a great benefit through all of the vast resources available here free of charge.
Please prayerfully consider donating to this cause. If we all contributed even just a small amount, we could help relieve some of the concerns that Greg might be experiencing. As a fellow student, I know how every little bit counts!

Hello brothers and sisters in Christ...
It is exciting to watch Greg approach his goal for support. A couple of churches that I have attended have each taken up similar collections for hand-picked Bible school candidates. I was often perplexed by some of the young people that they chose. However, I don't know that I have ever seen a more appropriate candidate than our SermonIndex Administrator (Greg).
I bring this back to the forum because I know that Greg is often very slow to ask for such things. Right now, Greg is at 8% of his funding goal. With a little more help, we can help him close in on his goal for this much needed support.
On a side note, you don't have to have a PayPal account to make a donation. You can simply click on making a CONTRIBUTE and then select the choice on the left (SECURE CHECKOUT for those that don't have a PayPal Account). This allows you to simply make a donation using a credit, debit, ATM, or your bank's check card.
Let's help Greg reach this goal!
:-)

Thank you brother for the comments and support. God willing I will be able to reach the goal and have full support for the next 6 months to do this ministry personally fulltime. Thank to all that have contributed so far.
The deadline for the payments is by mid-july, august, If God is prompting you to help this ministry and have me working on it fulltime and also going to bible college do help sponsor me for some of the cost of the $2800.
Amen mike, there still is a need for me to run this website for the next 6 months fulltime and go to school, I appreciate the help so far, if anyone has any questions let me know, there have also been alot of costs with this ministry and new fees for the gospelcom membership, server renewals, etc. I am trusting in the Lord's provision but also making it known there is a need.
Please do continue to pray about supporting me as part of this ministry for bible college.

Hi Greg...
Just noticed that you are now just over 10% in this. Hopefully more individuals will recognize that you are deserving of such a monetary investment! Please keep us updated!

If anyone else reads this, and you have not contributed, please consider! Greg is certainly fertile soil. He works both full time as the Administrator of this website, and as a full time seminary student. The resources found on Sermon Index have encouraged and challenged thousands of individuals. Remember the words of I Timothy 5:18...
For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

Hi Greg,
Does this mean you will not be in CA for a while?

Does this mean you will not be in CA for a while?
Yes, I will alternatively in British Columbia, Canada for the next year. I have finished 1 year of the schooling in California and now I am God willing going to finish the last year of the schooling in BC, Canada. It has been a great time in California but I do think for many reasons including financially it will be better to finish the school in Canada. I really do feel God's leading to be involved with this new school extension campus.
I would love to go back and visit all the brethren in California when God allows but for now I am very content to be in BC to do the Lord's will. I am still praying for the rest of the school fees to be payed, if someone had it on their heart.
I have many opportunities for ministry opening up in BC such as: Teaching, Faciliating pastors prayer meetings, Helping Administrate the school re: website, Helping with the Church A/V, etc.

Just so everyone knows I am trying to raise this amount of "Campaign goal: $2,800.00" for Mid-August but it would be more opportune to have raised it before. The Lord has provided a part-time computer job in BC but still the costs for living there will be alot at first due to transisting, health care, cellphone, vechile, etc.
A siste had it on her heart to mail in a cheque for $500 from Canada. That puts the progress to about [b]%40-45[/b]. thank you to all who are getting behind me and this ministry.
There are alot of exciting things in store coming up for sermonindex! I can't hardly wait to get them out to everyone.
I hope that others will really pray about contributing. As a college student, I know that every little bit counts!
Is there a deadline that you need to have this money collected? Maybe if people understand the immediacy of this need, they might feel more led to contribute.
With the $500 contribution, your total is now about $1050. This means that you still need about $1750 in order to reach your goal.
I hope others that have been blessed by this ministry might consider contributing -- even in small amounts! This situation is definitely in my prayers!

Thank you brother keep praying.
I am heading back to British Columbia in a few days. Do keep praying for my trip for my helping the church there! and my continued work on SermonIndex. There is alot of work to be done this summer but I know God's strength is sufficient.
A siste had it on her heart to mail in a cheque for $500 from Canada. That puts the progress to about %40-45. thank you to all who are getting behind me and this ministry.
I am leaving tommorow for British Columbia, Canada and will be spending the next 2 months doing ministry with the church there. The Bible College will be starting mid-august. I still need to raise about $1400 dollars for the school by that time. If God is putting it on your heart please do contribute, this will also allow me to run the sermonindex.net ministry fulltime for the next 6 months.
Just to let everyone know I have arrived in British Columbia safely and have accomidations to stay for the summer. I still need to raise quite abit of support for the bible college, and there are some needs for living expenses in the summer. Thanks for all the prayers and support I am humbled by the graciousness of God's people to see the work of sermonindex continue and allowing me to be able to be a part of it.
We are thankful and rejoicing with you dear brother Greg. :-)

Wow! Greg -- it looks like the Lord has moved the hearts of brothers and sisters in the faith to give! Praise God!
But I imagine that the number that you listed (your goal) was on the shallow end. I imagine that funds will still be needed to continue this work and improve it as the Lord leads.

Yes! thank you brothers and sisters in helping support this ministry. I really am humbled by the support of God's people and know I am in God's will to continue to run this ministry full-time. I am excited about going to bible college and releasing the Old Paths Magazine in the Lord's timing.
Thank you again for your prayers and support.

The thing that baffles me the most is that nearly $2000 was given in the last 24 hours..
Come on now, that's a miracle! Praise God!
