From the field:Another busy month has come and gone. This month included the holiday we all love to celebrate - Thanksgiving! Many of us ate a lot, some maybe more than others, spent time with family, had extensive travels and so on. But, keep in mind that others did not, and let’s pray for their well-being. There are many souls that are starving…not necessarily in the realm of food and drink, but much more important - spiritually starving! Let’s pray for their hearts to be reached, opened, and obedience to be seen. We are so extremely thankful for each and every one of you that not only interacts with us, but also supports this work by sharing, praying, encouraging and of course as is never acknowledged enough - your financial help in getting the soul-saving message to others through The Gospel of Christ program. It indeed takes a lot of effort and also funds to reach as many souls as can be reached, and for your part in that - we are very thankful as we work together in the kingdom for the love of God and the love for souls. Personally, I want to thank all of you who have been praying for me in my travels and my recent dental work. All is finished! It was a blessing to meet some of our brethren in Cancun that worship there as they hosted me not only for multiple services, but their dear preacher and his family also hosted me for lunch, transportation and a great time of fellowship before I left. Isn’t it truly a blessing to be part of the kingdom here on earth with loving brethren!?!? The end of the year is upon us, and that means many things are happening. While you may not see all of the behind the scenes efforts and through this busy season, we aren’t always able to communicate every single thing we would want to, please know that the work of The Gospel of Christ is stronger than ever and we plan to continue doing all that we can to press forward in 2026 as the program begins it’s 30th year! We hope you will continue to follow, encourage, pray for us, and consider financially helping if you can as an individual or congregation. Souls are being reached and you are a big part of that! 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!).
