You can do just that by giving a gift to support the Bible Gateway.
And the good news is – you can double your donation, dollar for dollar, between now and December 31st. That’s right, a generous Bible Gateway supporter has agreed to match every dollar given, up to $20,000. What a great year-end opportunity!
You've probably used the Bible Gateway for your own edification, but did you know that last month over 6.5 million people encountered God's Word using Bible Gateway? And consider these other stats from last month:
- ...902,000 total hours of ministry.
- ...14.65 million visits.
- ...92 million pages served. That's 35 a second on average, and over 1,000 a second during busy times!
- ...Meaningful visits from over 215 countries and territories - visits where people dug into the Word for a substantial period of time.
The Bible Gateway enables these millions of people to access dozens of translations for free -- any time, anywhere. In fact, for many people around the world, the Bible Gateway is their only Bible! You can read some stories of how the Bible Gateway has blessed people at our blog.
It costs Gospel Communications roughly $770 a day to keep the Bible Gateway online. This includes servers, bandwidth, electricity and staff time.
Instead of plastering the Bible Gateway with advertisements, we've chosen to rely on the support of people like you to keep the site up and running.
A gift by December 31 will help us finish strong in 2007 and position us to add the following vital things in 2008...
- ...more computers to keep up with our growth.
- ...more translations in more languages. We have over 80 translations coming online in the next year, and more are possible with your help.
- ...great support for mobile phones This will enable us to reach millions more in Africa, Asia and Europe, where mobile phones are a popular way of accessing the internet.
- ...personalization features to enable millions to better understand the Bible and draw closer to God.
$161,209.20 has already been given this year by Bible Gateway supporters. We only need $238,790.80 to reach our goal of $400,000 by December 31, 2007.
Please prayerfully consider a gift of $25, $100, $250, $500 or more. Remember, the next $20,000 given will be matched dollar for dollar. Together we can bring the Word to millions more around the world.
