Airtime for The Narrow Path radio broadcast is expensive. Like most Christian programs, we purchase airtime from radio stations so that the broadcast can be heard in various coverage areas. We have no sponsors or underwriters, nor do we have anything for sale. Because of our policies, the program is heard commercial-free, which maximizes the available time for dialogue with callers. It also helps substantiate the non-denominational status.
Everything we provide is without charge to the user. We do not flood mailboxes or inboxes with requests for support. To minimize mailing and administrative costs (as well as junk mail in your mailbox), nothing but a simple receipt for gifts to the ministry with a short newsletter is sent to donors periodically throughout the year. We do not sell or share donor names with other organizations.
We meet expenses as the Lord provides through free-will contributions from those who appreciate this ministry. Every contribution designated to The Narrow Path, goes entirely to paying the costs immediately associated with the ministry (which only includes our payments to radio stations and for equipment directly related to the broadcast). There are no salaries, employees, or overhead costs (e.g., no office, no staff, no studio). Our offices are in the homes of our volunteers. Our current costs for airtime on the stations carrying the program are in excess of $50,000 per month (2019).
We interpret God’s provision, or lack thereof, as an indicator of God’s will concerning our continuing presence in any particular broadcast area. Contrary to common policies in the Christian radio industry, we pay stations in advance each month, for the time we have contracted to use, rather than paying afterward. WE intentionally choose to keep the ministry out of debt. If we ever cannot pay in advance for a given month on a given station, we will stop broadcasting on that station, rather than to incur debt to this ministry.
When and if there is a surplus of income, above monthly expenses, the money is applied to securing airtime on additional radio stations, or to something similarly related to the direct expansion of the radio/internet ministry (e.g., the replacement of necessary broadcast equipment, etc.).
Management of the website, the Bible Forum, the podcast ministry, the YouTube channel, financials, and a variety of other services, are, or have been provided by various unpaid volunteers: Christopher Arndt (podcasts), Jarrod Baumann (Theos.org & TNP website), James Cateno (TNP website), Don Cooper (digital conversions), Frank DeRemer (finances & communications), Mark DeVries (The first TNP website); John Kent (mobile apps); Jason Kobilan (TNP Facebook Page); Jessica Page (finances & record keeping), Timothy Pearson (digital, editing, YouTube, etc.); Steve Petersen (records & notes), Jeremy White (Matthew713.com). Those who appreciate and benefit from this ministry are greatly indebted to these zealous and humble servants. There are many others who are unnamed who continue to work behind the scenes. To all, we are exceedingly grateful.
