James' Ministry (Expenses)

I have decided to repurpose my Main fundraising page into a dedicated ministry-related expenses page: any funds raised here will be used for the following needs-

•⁠ ⁠⁠Funds for Pastoral visits to Emmanuel between now and when I begin my Curacy

•⁠ ⁠⁠Ready money for relocating and getting set up while I find a part-time job and place to live, deposit etc. alongside my curacy

•⁠ ⁠Vestments & Clericals, including but not limited to- a fitted cassock, clerical shirts, deacons’s stoles, and an alb or two (I will endeavour to shop for these on the cheap). I am also looking to invest in some business-type contact cards, a decent clerical briefcase, and a few other pieces of equipment, as well as a ChatGPT subscription as it’s extremely useful for research. Longer term I may also need to requisition a fresh Laptop & a work phone. If you'd prefer to buy any of these items directly for me rather than donate funds, here is my wish list- https://www.thingstogetme.com/2341739a9eaaf.

•⁠ ⁠Possibly investing in a future setup for a theology/apologetics YouTube channel (microphones and other equipment), which has been an ambition of mine for a long time.

Ideally I would also like to raise money for dentistry, which as many of you know is an ongoing issue for me, and completely unaffordable, especially on student/clerical budget. I am in need of up to three implants (or at least a denture in the meantime) as well as some specialist jaw care, and possibly some other treatments. I'll be setting up a third fundraiser for this in the near-future so watch this space.

My new main fundraiser can be found here: https://www.givesendgo.com/get-james-north. This is exclusively for the purpose of raising 1 Year's Salary (or as close as I can manage) for when I begin my Curacy.

Rest assured I will keep any and all receipts and proof of expenditure, and anyone is welcome to inquire at any time as to how the money is spent. If you have any other questions or clarification requests, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Grace be with you all
