We Have One Job

Help Spread God's Word to a Dying World!
6m read

At AudioVerse, we believe we have one and only one job to do on this earth. That job is to prepare people for Jesus to come by spreading the Word of God to as many as possible. This is the only thing that matters.

  • So why use technology and the Internet? Because it’s an affordable and efficient way of getting the Word to many, many people.
  • Why build mobile apps? To deliver the Word to people right in their pockets.
  • Why develop an outreach site like Journeys Unscripted? To attract a new audience to experience God’s Word.
  • Why provide media for children? To make the Word attractive and relevant to the young ones in our families.
  • Why start an online store? To provide additional resources to help spread the Word.
  • Why give messages out for free? Because we want as many to hear the Word as possible!

By God’s grace, AudioVerse has been fulfilling this one job for the past 12 years. Over the course of that time our library has grown to over 16,000 messages by over 1,200 presenters. That’s a lot of sermons, seminars, lectures, stories, and audiobooks!

Moreover, from this archive, over 4 MILLION messages are listened to each year. That’s one message every 7 seconds!

What’s even more encouraging to me is that over 3,500 chapters of the audio Bible are listened to each day. With 1,189 chapters in the Bible, this means that our users are collectively listening to the Bible through nearly 3 times every single day!

Our one job is to spread God’s Word, and I praise the Lord that the Word is being heard! But what’s most exciting to me is that this mission doesn’t result in mere numerical statistics, but it changes real lives. Listen to what Jonathan has to say:

I praise God for AudioVerse. I mean that quite seriously. Just about four years ago, I was privileged to learn of the Advent message from those God had lead me to meet—my very first Adventists. Today…I am profoundly honored that He has allowed me to be a recipient of His truths as laid out in the Scriptures and in His testimonies through Ellen Gould White! My learning of much of these truths were by way of AudioVerse…. AudioVerse, in my estimation, is a tool God has blessed in providing for those with an honest heart, a means by which to grow in doctrine—which must never be divorced from Christ. The two go hand in hand! I learned of many passages of Scripture, quotes from the Testimonies, and many great teachers because of AudioVerse. May God continue to bless AudioVerse in providing content that, I believe, is sifted for doctrinal soundness that are in line with the movement Christ Himself has called many to; in preparing a people to meet Him at His coming!

Can you see why I am as excited about the mission of AudioVerse as ever? This is a work where we don’t have to wonder whether there will be success. This is the work that Christ commissioned us to do (Matt. 28:19-20), and it is the one work that can hasten His return (Matt. 24:14). It is the one mission in which there will never be failure.

Today, I want to invite you to join us in accomplishing the one job that Jesus has given us to do. As 2017 draws to a close, there is still time for you to partner with AudioVerse with a tax-deductible gift to help spread God’s Word to more souls. Your help is needed to fund AudioVerse for the coming year so to reach more souls, to change more lives, and to make a bigger impact in hastening Christ’s return. Please consider giving today!

Many Ways to Partner

AmazonSmile. As you do your holiday shopping on Amazon this year, remember to go to AmazonSmile where 0.5% of every purchase gets donated to AudioVerse. Just follow our link provided for you, or manually select AudioVerse as your charity of choice.

Giving Assistant. Similar to AmazonSmile, Giving Assistant is an online service that allows you to give while shopping at nearly 2000 other online retailers.

You can then select all or a portion of that cashback to be automatically given to AudioVerse. Simply follow this link to Giving Assistant for more information: Giving Assistant.

PayPal Giving Fund. For every credit card donation that is processed through PayPal, a transaction fee is deducted. So from each donation, only around 97% actually gets to the ministry. PayPal Giving Fund is a service where there is no transaction fee and 100% of donations can go directly to the ministry. To do this, simply give via the AudioVerse’s PayPal Giving Fund page. (Note: If you do this, you will receive your tax-deductible receipt from PayPal Giving Fund and not from AudioVerse.)
