From the field:Well, the Faulkner Lectureship was a great event. Russ and Joey were able to make a lot of great contacts as well as Joey spoke at multiple congregations in the area during the week. Russ spoke at the lectureship and did a wonderful job. We have added Gainesville to our television line up. Saturday mornings seem to be pretty popular in some areas. We hope that is true for this one as well! Some of you may have seen a recent letter from us. If you have, thank you for reading and for the incredible encouragement we have had in responses. If you have not yet received the letter, in a nutshell, we have found that 4th quarter woe again this year. We started the year off with some reserves, but with many changes to our television offerings, increased costs and a couple of necessary technology purchases this year, we are currently in a deficit of about $25,000 for the year. Some have asked how they can help, and details are in the letter if you receive one; however, the easiest way to help is to go to our support page at www.thegospelofchrist.com/support and look at the options for both mail and an electronic donation. Even just $50 helps and we have launched a program called 20 for 12 to encourage individuals to consider donating $20 per month for 12 months. We have calculated/estimated that each person that does this helps us to reach 80 new souls per week! If you would like to consider that option, we can do that via ACH or also online at www.thegospelofchrist.com/20for12. Thank you so much for your consideration and continued encouragement supporting us in every way you can. As always, we would be happy to answer any questions that you may have in regards to support, amounts spent in certain areas, and so on. Give us a call or email for more information regarding any financial questions. We will share that in 2025, our 85 cents of every dollar has gone directly to broadcasting the program. That is an extremely tight budget and we are pleased to be able to keep our administrative and organizational costs to a minimum in order to reach many more souls. ============================================== The following television markets are available for congregations to sponsor (and have your name on the program multiple times!).
