The following was sent by Tom Short to his mailing list recently:
Late this spring, I made an organizational switch which I believe
will enhance my opportunities to advance the gospel. After many years
of employment with Great Commission Ministries, I began a new organization
called Tom Short Campus Ministries.
The only significant change this means for most people relates to
financially supporting my ministry. If you would like to support my work
of preaching on campuses, you must now give to
Tom Short Campus Ministries
PO Box 224
Worthington, OH 43085
Of course, all gifts are tax-deductible and I will always do my best
to use any gift to this ministry as a faithful steward of Jesus Christ.
And, just in case you were wondering, yes there are needs and
your contribution would be greatly appreciated. In addition to regular
operating costs, there are a number of special costs associated with getting this ministry up on its feet. Thank you for considering supporting TSCM.
So, is Tom breaking away from GC to start his own ministry.. or is he just playing the age old GC*-name-changing game on his 'portion' of GC so he doesn't have to be associated with the negative information about the rest of the movement that is out there? I believe he's on salary for GCM so if he really did leave GCM completely, as in not even on their payroll anymore, that would be quite something, given his past and current importance in the organization.
