Ask them which soul left to hell is worth the few bucks held to not keep a
honorable and willing servant of God to lead them. There grandson?
Granddaughter? Father mother niece nephew neighbor? On average, it takes 10
families to support a pastor's wages, this could be ten couples equaling
twenty people, or40 people, 10 families of four.  Perhaps there is a
problem of the attitude they feel they are supporting the pastor and his
family, rather than giving to God and letting God work all that out. I pray
for God's intervention and favor. Do not let these things discourage you
Kathy. If I could make one of those highly irritating noises about now, I
would and say... This is only a test of the emergency  faith system. This
is only a test, if this was an actual emergency you'd have been given
further instructions. I also know it is easier said hundreds of miles away,
but I've been there, or similar I should say, and God sees his kids
through. You'll get your house and things will work out in ministry
according to God's plan.
