The Good News is printed and mailed to about 500,000 subscribers around the world in five languages—English, Spanish, German, Italian and French. In addition, some 600,000 booklets and other publications were requested in 2006 and mailed to our global readership. We also mailed over 75,000 lessons of our Bible Study Course to students in the United States alone.
We also maintain several extensive Web sites, showing a strong and steady increase in visitors. We sponsor the Beyond Today television and radio programs. We publish a youth magazine, Vertical Thought, sent free to more than 20,000 subscribers around the globe. Our letter-answering staff answers biblical questions from our readers all over the world.
A dedicated and loyal staff supports the publishing of the gospel at our home office near Cincinnati, Ohio, along with our associated offices located in key areas overseas.
All these activities and many more constitute the understandable expenses incurred in spreading the true gospel all over the world. God wants to see His truth go out to this generation. The apostle Paul said, "Woe is me if I do not preach not the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16). The same could be said of the Church today.
The key biblical principles
God's Word, the Holy Bible, includes laws and instructions—some of them regarding financial matters. God is the Creator of everything and by right the owner of everything. King David said, "The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein" (Psalm 24:1).
