If I’m a new listener, shouldn’t I at least cover my own costs?

Actually, you can’t! It’s already been paid for—someone beat you to it. That’s the beauty of our pay-it-forward model. Any gift you give now helps future listeners, just as past supporters made it possible for you to listen today.

What impact does my donation have?

Your gift helps create new Bible guides, translate content into new languages, and keep TTW freely accessible to over 100,000 daily listeners across 190+ countries.

Every donation directly supports our mission of equipping the world to read the Bible, understand it, apply it, and make it a habit.

Why doesn’t the TTW app have ads or a subscription model?

While ads and subscriptions are viable options that work well for other ministries, we made a conscious choice not to sell ad space in your personal time with God. Our deep desire is to give everything away freely and reach as many people as possible—just as we received freely from other Bible teaching ministries.

What are the best ways to support TTW?

There are three key ways you can help pay it forward: pray, share, and give. These three actions have been crucial to our growth from day one and continue to drive our mission forward.

How long has TTW been operating this way?

For over a decade! We started with just 500 daily listeners who prayed, shared, and gave. That grew to 1,000, then 3,000, then 10,000. Today, we reach over 100,000 listeners daily—all through the same model of faithful supporters paying it forward.

“This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”

2 Cor. 9:12-15
