Self-sustaining, what does that mean? In the title portion we claim we will not need to receive from congregations or people! That is slightly misleading so let's explain for clarity.
A church should be able to care for itself. Ministers that preach, without works, do so to acquire from their congregation for their own self. Although all must start from a lower position, once one acquires the means they should not need to seek charity from their congregation but allow them to give freely, not under peer pressures.
Currently, the working church of Jehovih is unable to sustain itself, therefore, we ask for assistance. But the purpose behind this church, once it gets on its feet is to be able to create the means to care for itself and cease being a bum dependent upon others.
Many churchs build themselves to show off to society, like "look what we made, look at our church and its beauty." That is not the working church for Jehovih. The Father of Creation does not care about fancy buildings, nor fancy words. He wants us to perform by good works!
The church will not be made fancy but a very basic structure. We will seek the worse land to build it on in the country and turn that land into a garden for our Creator. Today, people are into solar and energy savings like building straw structures. It has been considered of having the church made of sod, or at least a pole structure. The purpose behind this church is to help others, not self. To uplift those in poverty living on the streets up to be able to sustain and care for themselves. To save those abandoned children from the streets whose parents cast them off or died leaving them alone. We will not build fancy, for that takes away from necessary funds that could uplift dozens of individuals. Our Creator is simple, self and self-glory builds structures to show off to mankind and that is not of our Creator but of Satan.
Once the church is created, it will create vocational devices for teaching others skills and trades. Through these, like Goodwill does with clothing, etc, we will offer services to society like auto repair, body repair, etc and the funds returning will return to the organization for helping other people. When this is done the church will not require its own salvation upon its congregation or others, however, because the laws of non-profits require a percentage come from society people will still be allowed to give of their own hearts. Until this time, however, we must be able to create the church first. Until it is created we cannot be self-sufficient and must ask for charity.
Jehovih works every day. To be industrious and take on with our own hands we become a glory unto Him. To be a bum living off others we stay in darkness. But all at some time must ask charity. When a new organization starts itself it is that bum seeking the means to grow and become self-sufficient. Thus, as many have we do now. But as quickly as we can we intend to make ourselves self-sustaining so whatever we give we will also receive to continue our efforts daily to help uplift the poor and needy. All funds belong to Jehovih and are for Him to build this church. Until this church is fully self-sustaining no individual will receive one cent from the funds given for this cause, but will work themselves to help bring this about and give of their own time, and funds to insure this will succeed.
The President and founder will not use anything for self in any manner until the church is completely created and built, and after that, only the most basic necessity to survive, for what is acquiring all the world if we loose our souls. To live basic life and help others, to learn to uplift ourselves to do good works for the glory of our Creator, is the greatest goal for all people because it elevates us in spirit by doing good works. Who else will give of themselves.
In the Christian bible it holds the story of our brother who gave of himself, his labors, his teachings, his gifts, freely unto others for the glory of the greatest king of all, the Father of all creation. When he is being crucified for breaking the laws of man he instructs all his brothers and sisters to 'take up your cross and do as I do,' so we all will learn to walk one with our Creator, Jehovih. Many are taught not to ever worry because they are saved and never taught to do these works they were instructed to do. Our brother, as many before him (Moses, Abraham, Buddha, Brahma, etc) have done, was an example what we all should be doing. That is learning to be like unto our Creator. He is an all giver, gives to all freely, and never asks for Himself.
Such practices take time to learn and great discipline, but can be achieved. We must teach uourselves daily like a child. Basic charity is a manner by which we all can start. We (the founder and your Creator) ask you to give of yourself also for this worthy cause. Not for the founder, not for yourself, but for the glory of your Creator and those the church will help when it is created. Let's all learn to do good works for our Creator and be like Him?
Give now from your heart. What we each do is between us and our Creator, He is the judge. Give from your heart for this cause. Send any donations to: Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers (E-O-Ih), c/o: Working Church for Jehovih, Gustav Skurdal, Pres., at: 5520 Omega Court, Ste. 54, North Highlands, CA 95660.

PLEDGE: Before our Creator, the I AM of all things, I Gustav Skurdal pledge my solemn oath before all mankind that until this church is created and built for the glory of Jehovih, and to help others, not one penny will be used for myself and I will place whatever time I have available and whatever means I have to insure this working church is achieved for the purpose I state above, and make this pledge in the name, and by my words, of Jehovih, the I AM, our Creator, as true and correct. I print my name here as a binding pledge of these words leaving for my Creator to be my Judge before all mankind. Gustav Skurdal!
