God’s iPod reaches between 70-90 THOUSAND people per month. These people are listening to some of the very best material God has gifted us with. THOUSANDS are listening to the Bible in audio every single day. I truly want to keep this ministry going, but over the years we have gone from being fully funded by monthly subscriptions, to some months seeing nothing at all. Several times I have had to stop working on God’s iPod because I must do something that will put food on the table. We tried advertising, and it was simply worthless, making about $16 per month and sometimes displaying ads that are not altogether appropriate.
So here’s all the good stuff you’ll want to know. God’s iPod is a 501(c)3 organization under the oversight of Winkie Pratney’s Ministry of Helps in Lindale, TX. That’s in the States y’all. The funding of God’s iPod comes from our listeners like you and nowhere else. If there’s a shortfall, it comes out of my own pocket!
Want to confirm this with the ministry? No problem. Just email Dee Patton and she’ll give you her number so you can call her. Dee is the Missionary Care Officer of Ministry of Helps and she’s real friendly, so don’t hesitate. Oh, and if you want to call me, then just email me through the contact form and leave a number. There’s only one person here, So I’ll get the message, rest assured.
Now I have created DiscipleStuff.com. It is my hope that this online store will actually make a profit so I can use that to keep God’s iPod going.
How you can give.
You can make a one-off donation through this link.
You can setup a regular monthly donation through this link.
Or you can click here to mail a check to Ministry of Helps in Texas.
All gifts are tax deductible, BUT, receipts are issued on request only.
When you setup a regular monthly donation, the total of the chipin widget is decreased by that amount the next month. No double-dipping here. Our total monthly costs are approximately $1700 per month, of which I cover $600 per month myself, leaving a shortfall of $1100. We receive $140 in regular monthly contributions as of Jan 2010, so that leaves a shortfall of $960 for this month.

WAIT... I know, times are tough, and we’re facing a serious economic meltdown, and people are hurting. I understand completely, I talk about our woes on my video blog. But before you decide you just can’t afford to partner with us, think of it another way. The world really is descending into chaos. And I firmly believe our Lord wants to use God’s iPod to reach out at such a crucial time. Right now people are far more open to God than they are normally, and I want to be able to serve good spiritual food to these people. This is a golden opportunity for us to be sacrificial and touch those that are reaching out for life right now. The Lord has me as His worker in the harvest field, but he needs you as well. Please partner with me today, even if it’s just $5 a month, let’s do this together!
Stay Anon!
I know some people want to give without me knowing who they are. Just send a check to Ministry of Helps with a note not to tell Israel who you are, and they won’t.

Prayers.
I KNOW.... It’s soooo cliche to say that nothing is more important than your prayers, BUT IT’S TRUE!!! Please pray for me by name. Add my name to your prayer list. Lift me up during your corporate prayer times at Church. Whenever you can, PLEASE. Running God’s iPod is not a walk in the park. It’s very demanding on my time and I am often up very very late in the evening making sure it’s all ready for the world in the morning. I need your prayers more than you might realize. THANK YOU!!
