We want to share this inside report of Alcott Ministries with you, our friend and Partner. Alcott Ministries is growing and ministering to thousands of people like you. This year we completed 12 years of full-time daily radio broadcasting! That's 260 broadcasts a year for 12 years and that translates to 3,100 broadcasts and counting!
We are celebrating God's amazing work. During that time, listeners
have heard life-changing
|
|
radio broadcasts in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Ohio, Virginia, Houston, Chicago, all of southern California including Los Angeles, and San Diego. In 2014, we have approximately 1,000,000 more potential listeners through increased area coverage in Virginia.
We also reach out to many people through our newsletters and we also answer each call, letter, and Web response that we receive. Jeanne and I spend much time in prayer for our Partners. We provide a Web site to minister to all those who visit, and we share a devotional word from the heart of God each week. Many people are helped through books as well as spiritual and timely articles provided by the ministry.

HOW MUCH IS GIVEN?
|
|
Just over $101,000 in donations was received in the most recent complete fiscal year!
|
 |
HOW CAN THESE DOLLARS GO SO FAR?
|
|
The largest expense of this ministry is radio airtime and mail ministry. We are able to keep our labor costs to a minimum. Just a few years ago, Jeanne began receiving a salary. She currently is being paid $700 per month with no benefits, and she puts a tremendous amount of hours into this work. Our personal donations into the ministry more than cover Jeanne's salary so no partner donations go toward this. I take zero dollars per month in salary for the approximately 20-30 hours a week I spend on ministry work. Because I work an outside job, we are able to use personal resources to cover our living expenses and furnish office space and utilities for the ministry. We currently have part-time employees who help approximately ten hours total a week. We work diligently at keeping costs to a minimum.
|
|
We very conservatively estimate that for every $1 given into this ministry a minimum of 100 people hear one broadcast.
|
|
That means a $30 gift enables at least 3,000 people to hear the broadcast one time, and a $50 gift enables 5,000 people to hear it one time. Just think of the impact you can make in people's lives through your donations to Alcott Ministries! I welcome your call at 281-761-5060 if you have any detailed questions about the ministry's finances.

IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO GIVE,
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
|
We believe God's hand is on each powerful teaching and all we are doing for Him. You are a part of that! If you desire in a greater way to help us continue ministering to those people whom God is touching and also to help us take advantage of the expansion opportunities He brings to go on more radio stations and to print materials, you can click here to donate or call 918-459-9191 or write to Jeanne and me at Alcott Ministries, PO Box 3400, Broken Arrow, OK 74013. No investment is better for the lives of others and for your own life than to give into the hands of God! The one who sows generously so that blessings may come to someone else will also reap generously and with blessings. (See II Corinthians 9:6.) God bless! John Alcott
