King of Glory Ministries International is now on Patreon. What is Patreon, you ask? Well, think of the old system where creative people – artists, writers, musicians – were sponsored by individuals so that they could carry on producing whatever art form they produced. Patreon is kind of a modern take on that.
The big difference is that, whereas the patrons of the arts back in those days were inevitably wealthy and invested a great deal of money into their chosen artists, anyone can become a patron on Patreon for only a tiny amount each month. When lots of people each contribute a tiny amount each month, it adds up to a sum that allows the creative person to get on with creating without having to worry so much about how he/she is going to pay the bills.
Patreon is basically a platform on which creative people can post content. Some of that content is available to the general public, so that anyone can get a taste of what this particular creative person does. Other content is reserved for Patrons only. If someone likes what he sees of the creative person’s work, he can sign up to become a Patron and get access to the restricted content. Most people who post on Patreon offer different tiers of Patronage, each with its own rewards.
More than just finance, however, Patreon is also an opportunity for the creative individual and his/her work to become more widely known.
So what does that have to do with ministry? Just as an individual creative person needs finance to be able to keep creating, so a ministry needs finance to keep running. We also want the ministry to become known as widely as possible. And we are committed to building stronger Christians through the Word of God. So, we will be publishing regular Bible studies or meditations on Patreon, and asking people to consider becoming a Patron of King of Glory Ministries from as little as $3 per month.
If you are not able to make that commitment we understand, but would you do us one small favour? Just share the link to our Patreon page through your various social media contacts. Here it is: https://www.patreon.com/kingofgloryministriesinternational
