In my estimation, Desiring God is one of the genuine ministries among the public personalities many of us love and from whom we derive great spiritual benefit. 27 years of audio, text and some video sermons free of charge? Two decades of pastors’ conference lectures free of charge? Books at drastically reduced rates. Periodic sales on cases of books to use as outreach tools.
Back in February, I and my two co-pastors had the privilege to visit the Desiring God headquarters while attending the Conference for Pastors. It was a serious, but simple ministry. The gentleman who took us on a tour the facility admitted to us that they were losing revenue quickly since offering so much for so little or for no cost at all. But making money was not the issue for them.
Much more could and should be said about this valuable ministry. For me it is exemplary. I want to learn to be more like the folks at Desiring God (not that I have much to offer) – their attitude and approach to ministry appears to be genuinely focused on, well. . . serving.
Thanks to this ministry. May many more rise up like you.
