We\u2019ve endured much, but despite all of the challenges, God has been faithful. We\u2019re still here \u201cbecause His compassions fail not. They are new every morning\u201d (Lamentations 3:22, 23). And we thank you, our readers, for being faithful as well through your support and prayers. We hope you have made it through the worst of the pandemic and that life is opening up for you again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As with so many families and churches around the world, the pandemic hurt the Bible Advocate Press financially. That\u2019s why our annual spring support letter is coming to you via the BA rather than to your mailbox separately. We can\u2019t afford the postage to mail letters to all of our readers, so we are coming to you in this space, as well as online, where you can donate safely and conveniently with a click of a button.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The BA is trying to make up for the steep shortfall from last year. As churches closed and people were laid off work, our quarterly sales and offerings sagged. We kept at it, but as our fiscal year ended in March 2021, our operating expenses exceeded revenue by over $60,000. We are being faithful stewards of the resources God has provided. We are pinching every penny and ask you to help us make up the deficit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bible Advocate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> remains a free publication, and we want to keep it that way for as long as possible. This work is also supported by the sale of original BAP study material. Please give to the BA and purchase our products as you are able. Your continued generosity is appreciated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a donation here: <a href=\"https:\/\/cog7.org\/give-2-ba\/\">https:\/\/cog7.org\/give-2-ba\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In your service \u2014 grace and peace!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jason Overman, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Editor<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support the Bible Advocate!
