Either in the form of time or money?

Our web site receives as many as 11 million hits and 1,200,000 page views from as many as 555,000 people each week. We currently have about 3,664 essays and menus on the site. Our readers download up to 10 gigabytes of information every day. We get  about 800 Emails a day. We have received over 60 awards for our web site.

Unlike other religious web sites, we make all of our information available to everyone for free.

That is the good news. The bad news is that we are operating on a shoestring.  One large budgetary item is over $200 per month to CIHost, our Texas-based Web Hosting service.  (There are dozens of free or low cost web hosting services on the Web, but none can come near to handling our traffic.) A much larger cost are  reference books for our library. We have only one part-time staff person who is paid a salary. Meanwhile, banner ads -- our largest source of revenue -- are becoming less effective, as Internet surfers train themselves to ignore ads. We are relying increasingly on people who feel that we have a needed message and who want to support us.
