Yo godsgift, I totally agree with Sabe. But to answer your question....YES pray about it. I would still voice my opinion and let them know how serious you are about the equipment you need. Be persistent, but still maintain your salvation bro!!! I'll be praying with you on this. A while back, Sabe gave me an idea of putting together an info packet for my pastor on the drum equipment we would need, the importance of drum maintenance, prices, etc. If you would like to see it, send me a PM.....since I gave it to my pastor, he understands and is slowly giving me allowance for equipment we need.
