At the recent Westminster Seminary California faculty conference, Mike Horton said “God doesn’t need your good works, your neighbor does.” In the spirit of this truth, we’re asking you to help a neighbor some of you have never met. Michael Spencer (aka “the Internet Monk“) is a pastor and writer living in Kentucky. He has written two articles for Modern Reformation and has participated in a roundtable discussion on Scripture that will be included in our March/April 2010 issue.
Many of you have benefited from Michael’s honest writing and clear grasp of the gospel. And we’re appealing to you for help on his behalf. Late in 2009 Michael got sick. He had symptoms that didn’t go away. The doctors finally diagnosed cancer and on Christmas Eve a mass was removed from the back of his brain. He’s now trying to recover while facing radiation and chemo treatments. Like many of you, Michael doesn’t have a “cadillac” insurance program. He works for a small Christian boarding school. The resources to care for very ill employees are limited at best. In a few weeks he will be out of a job and employer-paid insurance. The near future looks very tight. Here is an update in Michael’s own words.
This isn’t an appeal for money for White Horse Inn or Modern Reformation. This is an appeal for help for our friend, Michael Spencer. If you can give anything at all, please send it to: Michael and Denise Spencer, P.O. Box 313, Oneida, KY 40972.
Tim Keller once said that Jesus’ command to love our neighbor as ourselves meant that we meet their needs with the same speed, resources, and passion that we meet our own. Join with us in loving Michael Spencer in his time of need.

Could you double check the online link please.
The PayPal link isn’t working. Do you know the email used in the account? Then we can just go straight there. Thanks.
Praying for all of the Spencers.
Just checked the donation link to PayPal at the iMonk’s site.
Appears to be working fine.
Or, you could just PayPal directly to:
michael [at] internetmonk.com (no spaces, of course).
I’m the iMonk’s daughter, Noel Cordle. I want to first thank everyone for their love and support. My family appreciates each of you so much and is humbled by the kindness we’ve been shown by people we don’t even know!
Secondly, I noticed that the address given in this post for iMonk is not correct. It is actually P.O. Box 313, Oneida, KY 40972.
Thank you!
Thanks, Noel. Give our best to your mom and dad. Sorry for the confusion everyone.
