Dear Friend,

What a tremendous way to start the new year!

Not only did your prayers and generosity help to meet the End-of-Year Challenge Goal I told you about last month, but we are hearing more and more stories of people spreading the word about Back to the Bible:

"Thank you for your consistently truthful teaching. I recommend BttB to everyone--especially seekers and new believers. God bless you!"

"Thanks for your ministry. It is a blessing and an education in God's Word to us."

"I listen to your program at 5 am on my way to work. I've recommended your program to others. It has encouraged me to read more of the Bible."

You are helping to encourage men, women and children throughout this land ... and they in turn are encouraging others. Terrific! For just 10 cents per radio listener, or 33 cents per goTandem user for throughout-the-day Scripture (delivered by email, phone and online), you are ensuring that the Word of God is proclaimed boldly.

As I mentioned last month, it takes more than $300,000 each month just to cover our radio costs! And as more and more people (especially young people!) are utilizing goTandem as a means of engaging God's Word daily, additional funds are needed to make sure we don't have to turn anyone away--especially as many are wanting to make fresh commitments to consistent Bible study. I don't want to turn anyone away, and I know you don't either.

So would you consider a special gift to ensure that, in 2012, more people will hear the Word of God clearly preached? January is often a slow time for ministry giving ... but with so many hungering to grow closer to God, now is no time to put on the brakes!

So please prayerfully consider how you might keep the momentum going so that more people will hear God's Word boldly preached!

Again, I thank you for your steadfast support. What a blessing to walk side-by-side with you into this new year.... May the Lord bless us His people as, together, we proclaim His Word.

By His Grace,
