Generation
Word is supported by the freewill offerings of believers who are motivated by
the Lord to give and who realize the urgent need for the distribution of Bible
teaching material in our society.
In 2008 Generation Word spent $22,000 cash to print Framework for Christian Faith. This book is fully paid for and is now available upon request. In 2007 Generation Word spent $15,000 cash printing Hope for America's Last Generation. This book is also fully paid for and available upon request. Generation Word has distributed 100,000 CDs through 2003-2007 at no charge. In 2009 we focused on providing mp3 messages online for download. We will focus on using the internet more to provide easy and instant access to our resources. For example, the two books mentioned above are also completely available online in .pdf. In 2010 we printed "Jerusalem: History, Archaeology, and Apologetic Proof of Scritpture" and "The Political Platform of the Lord and King." These books are also available to download online. We also added an online project with 100's of photos and detailed descriptions of locations in Jerusalem called "Jerusalem 101" and also detailed photos from Israel. Early in 2011 we reprint 3,000 more copies of "Framework for Christian Faith." We have 154 Bible School classes online available in .mp3, video and the notes. Generation uploads 3-4 new audio teachings and the video recordings each week. These are added to our archive of over 1,000 online messages. All of this has been provided free of charge and supported by donations from 2002 through 2013.
The promotion and expansion of the online Bible School and its text book, Framework for Christian Faith, is our main project from 2009-2011. This online Bible School includes audio, video, notes, the book's text, online chapter tests with online grading, online essay questions and a growing list of other features and learning opportunities.
Generation
Word ministry is a ministry of grace from God given to the people. Bible teaching
is the sole purpose of this ministry. To place a price on the materials that
are the vehicle used to accomplish this ministry is incompatible with the ministry
of grace.
Many people
who desire to learn the Word of God and grow in Christ may be unable or unwilling to purchase
the materials. We live in a nation that is facing spiritually poverty but yet,
for a while, financially prosperous. It seems oddly warped that a ministry at
this time in the United States would withhold the spiritual wealth because they
are not being paid.
Generation

God's grace in its various forms." 1
Peter 4:10
"We
