“The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord’”

Financial Report for 2003

From the inception of Christian Ethics Today in 1995, the Journal has been sent free of charge to anyone requesting it. The annual cost of about $25-30 per subscription for over 3200 readers is underwritten by the voluntary contributions of supportive individuals and churches.

During last year, 504 contributions (an increase of 50 over 2002) were given totaling $67,894. These gifts ranged from $10 to $1500, with one challenge gift of $5000, completing the $15,000 matching gift offer in 2002. The majority of supporters sent $25 to $30, which paid for their subscription.

Our heartfelt gratitude to every person or church who supported the ministry of Christian Ethics Today in 2003. Without each of you, the Journal could not continue. Because of your support we are able to send the Journal to hundreds of students, colleges, seminaries, and churches.
