Programs

  1. We sponsor a radio program named "born to win": the first program was aired on february 4, 1996,on wgnc in gastonia, nc.by october 31, 1998, the number had expanded to 110 radio stations, with stations in the united states, canada, australia, ireland, the philippines, and bermuda. Over time, we expanded the number of stateions carrying the program daily, instead of only once a week. Currently, we are broadcasting on approximately 44 radio stations in the united states, one in ireland, and one in cotonou, benin in africa. We also are broadcasting on three 50,000-watt clear-channel "super stations" that cover large ceographical areas of the u.s. We mail out free cd copies of the program to all who request them. On average, we normally mail approximately 200 free audio cds of the radio program each month and over 3700 pieces of related literature. With the advent of social media, we are greatly expanding our reach through the use of social media.

  2. Our social media presence, which began on january 20, 2014 with our first facebook post, continues to grow. On facebook, our posts reached an average of 25,153 people per week in 2024. Our website offers all of our sermon messages, bible studies, youth educational curriculum, and full-length books free of charge; in 2024 it drew approximately 153,445 unique users. We posted our first video on youtube on august 8, 2012, and currently have 236 videos, which received 46,019 views in 2024. We also update and post content on facebook, spotify, and rumble. Our mobile device application (app), created in 2019, was downloaded approximately 3,028 times and opened 94,483 times during 2024. We continue to make available our full youth educational curriculum free of charge on our website.

  3. Newsletter and written publications: the first newsletter was published on december 29, 1995, and was mailed to 1,209 households. The mailing list has gradually increased over the years, and we mailed approximately 30,051 newsletters in 2024. In 2019, we began producing a full-color newsletter, enhancing the quality of our publications. We produce an adult bible correspondence course and have a twelve-article series called bible study notes. We now have 32 booklets on various christian living subjects. We also have 8 full-color books in a bible study series entitled "christian origins," as well as 3 full-length books in hardback or softback and 10 chap books of shorter length. With the changing of people's habits, the use of the internet has helped to reduce postal mailing and printing costs, as people can read, listen, download, and print directly from our website.

  4. We sponsored our first annual conference called the "feast of tabernacles" in october of 1996 in kissimmee, fl with approximately 600 in attendance. From 1998 to 2010, we held the conference in the destin-ft. Walton beach area, except in 2006 and 2008, averaging slightly more than 1,000 people each year. In subsequent years, we met in various locations including sevierville, tn; hot springs, ar; tyler, tx; and land between the lakes, ky. In 2024, we held our annual "feast of tabernacles" conference in hot springs, ar with approximately 175 people in attendance. We regularly send aid to help sponsor the feast of tabernacles locations in africa.

3 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONAL MINISTRIES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONAL MINISTRIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 88% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONAL MINISTRIES.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 96% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Where its funders are

100% of CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONAL MINISTRIES's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $46k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
