Here is the latest tweet from Books & Culture editor John Wilson:
Wonderful news: We reached our goal for @booksandculture : Thank you!
And here is a letter from Christianity Today CEO Harold Smith:
Dear Friends,
Never in my 30 years at Christianity Today have I witnessed such an outpouring of generosity and support as I have experienced over these past five days! Your passion and commitment to the ministry of Books & Culture have translated to pledges which, when added to those secured during the “quiet” phase of our campaign, have brought the total amount of 2014 pledges to just over $250K—the amount needed to secure Books & Culture‘s financial viability in the year ahead.
In addition, annual amounts of $110K have also been committed by colleges, universities, seminaries, and other individuals for each of the four years following 2014, thus providing our publication with a firmer fiscal foundation for the longer-term.
Needless to say, it has all been quite overwhelming. And we praise God for his hand of blessing!
Having met our pledge objectives for 2014, we now focus on the remaining months of 2013. If you missed your opportunity to be a part of this historic push, please know that your tax-deductible gifts this year will further strengthen Books & Culture‘s bottom line going into 2014.
In closing, and on behalf of publisher Terumi Echols, editor John Wilson, and myself, I want to extend our sincerest thanks to all of you for achieving this milestone. And would our very surprising God continue to declare his “Yes” over this needed ministry for years to come!
Harold Smith
President and CEO
