Greetings

I have been asked about matters of finance by several people on the list recently so it seemed appropriate to put out a brief note on this subject.

In September last year (2000) Yahweh called me to the work that i am currently engaged with.  By March 2001 we finally realised that He wanted me full time and that there was not going to be further secular income producing activity on any major scale.

Accordingly, since then we have dramatically rationalised our life style and living expenses and been adjusting to living entirely by faith.  We have, by the Spirit of Yahweh, the expectation of major financial breakthrough in time in accordance with the Word of Yahweh reported in the "Iceberg" document.  However, at this time there are major spiritual challenges associated with reaching this point of breakthrough and we are therefore entirely dependent on voluntary offerings.

In particular Yahweh has stressed to me that we should not resort to worldly ways of advising people that we are a voluntary ministry and specifically that we should not publish appeals for funding, financial statements, forms for regular debit orders and the like.

He has stressed that we must rely on HIM to lead people to make contributions and that the most that He will permit us to do is provide banking details at the end of our documents.

Accordingly, should you ever feel impressed to make a donation, however great or small, whether in the form of tithes or offerings, we will be greatly blessed and most appreciative.

Should you decide to do this, the most effective avenue is direct deposit in South Africa or Swift Interbank Transfer for those outside South Africa.

Currently we have clearance delays on the End Time Issue Ministries bank account so would appreciate it if any donations through this avenue are made into Ingrid's bank account where we have immediate clearance:

Account Name           : I Robertson
Account Number        : 021 612 730
Bank                         : Standard Bank of South Africa
Branch                      : Randburg
Branch Code              : 01-80-05-90
International Swift Interbank code: SBZAZAJJ

Please include "ETI" in the transaction reference where possible and email deposit info to ensure that the funds are received.

For those overseas who would like to make contributions by credit card, we do have a facility with PayPal which can be used for smaller contributions, up to about US$100 but which presents us with some difficulty in repatriating funds to South Africa.

To use this facility go to www.paypal.com
It will be necessary for you to register your own account which takes a few minutes on-line and then a week or two for them to establish secure authorized access to debit your credit card.  Thereafter payments take a couple of minutes.

Our account is - [email-masked]

For overseas donations in excess of about US$100 we have a facility with WorldPay which takes a month to clear whereafter they remit to South Africa when the account reaches a required minimum remittance amount.

Accordingly, at this time, where possible, remittance by Swift will be most helpful to those who can manage the time to visit their bank and make the necessary arrangements.

Alternatively posting a cheque is an option although the South African postal system is not very reliable, particularly for items containing cheques and delays can be considerable.

I would like to offer our most sincere appreciation to those who have already supported us and we pray in the Name of Yahshua that Yahweh will bless you with a hundrefold return on your investment in accordance with the promises of His Word.

Warm regards and blessings
