Les Feldick's ministry is funded entirely by freewill gifts from God's people, not by on-air fundraising.
Les has said from the beginning that he would never ask for money on the program, yet the work continues because viewers and listeners voluntarily give. No organization underwrites the ministry, and the funds are used almost entirely for production and television time because the staff work without pay.
The provided clips do not quote a specific KJV verse on the funding of the ministry. Les's answer is based on personal conviction and ministry practice rather than on verse-by-verse Bible exposition. He consistently frames the provision as the Lord's faithfulness and the response of God's people.
Les teaches that the ministry was never set up to ask for money. He made it a stipulation when the program started that he would never mention money on the air. The ministry has no organization, sponsor, or underwriter behind it; it simply depends on the gifts of God's people. He says they have never begged for a dime, yet the Lord has always provided what was needed to keep the program on the air. Because Les, his wife, and many volunteers take no salary, nearly every dollar given goes directly to production and television time.
No. Les says that when the ministry started, he stipulated that he would never ask for money on the program. He also says they have never begged for a dime of money in their years on television. Instead, he encourages those who are not able to give to support the ministry with their prayers.
Les answers directly: 'Yes, we do pay for our TV time.' No one is sponsoring or underwriting the program. The money comes from the gifts of God's people. Les also acknowledges that going on the air takes money and that the ministry is not connected to any particular organization.
Because the ministry workers serve voluntarily, most of each gift can be used for the program itself. Les says that 99 cents of every dollar that comes into the ministry goes for production and television time. Tapes are sold at cost, and the ministry even covers the postage when mailing them.
Les says he does not take a salary and has never taken a dime out of the ministry. His wife spends nearly every forenoon answering the phone and filling orders without compensation. Those who do the bookkeeping and transcribing, and those who pay bills and deposit checks, also work on a voluntary basis.
