A New Devotional to Start Your Year
3m read
Have you ever wondered how a sermon goes from being preached in the pulpit to being played in your playlist on AudioVerse?
We’ve made a short video that explains the journey that each of our over 40,000 messages goes on before it is available to anyone around the world instantaneously.
While we have all become accustomed to accessing media for free online, this process is most assuredly not free. It costs roughly $0.20 per message to go through this full process and to be delivered to a listener somewhere in the world. Multiply this by the millions of hits we get per year, and you can see how the costs really add up. Large media companies like YouTube and Spotify cost billions of dollars to run and they are funded through ads, subscriptions, and other means—all things that AudioVerse does not do.
So while we don’t have Silicon Valley’s deep pockets, we have something more valuable: YOU!
It has been the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US, and I have been particularly grateful for our generous donors who have enabled the work of AudioVerse to be possible. Our financial partners have been the way the Lord has provided the means to build our infrastructure, to design and maintain our apps, and to establish crucial partnerships with ministries around the world. So while our supporters may not be one of the tangible steps of a message moving from pulpit to playlist, they nonetheless play a vital part to make the whole process run!
THANK YOU for your generous and ongoing support!
Explaining the Word
As we shared in our last newsletter and as highlighted in the video above, we are not satisfied with merely giving people access to the Word. We want to help people to understand the Present Truth as found in the Word.
Our “AudioVerse Intelligent Bible Project” will transform our library of sermons into a powerful commentary and Bible study tool to help our listeners understand what they are hearing. Visit this link to read the details behind this vision: AudioVerse Intelligent Bible Project
We anticipate needing $350,000 toward this project, but a generous donor has already given $100,000 to help jumpstart this initiative! We invite you to join us in reaching even more people online with the Everlasting Gospel!
