He's been pastor for almost a decade.

- Membership is 30.

- There is minimal compensation and he works a secular job fifty hours a week.

- The church building is an embarrassment, but paid for.

- Started the church from nothing.

- He pays some of the church bills out of his own pocket.

- The church members are apathetic.

Sorry.

Here's my answer.

I hope it doesn't sound harsh, but here it is.

If it's the will of God to stay, stay.

If it's the will of God to go, go.

Nothing else matters, not apathetic people, not grimy buildings, not numbers or dollars, not good days or bad days, nothing else matters.
