Who are the Christian Ministry Donors?
In 2o13, Ambassador Advertising and Edison Research released the
results of an extensive study to learn more about donors to Christian
Ministries.
• The study looked at donors to three national ministries.
• Two groups were compared:
• Consumers with a Christian affiliation, but not listeners to Christian radio (“National
Christian Sample”)
• Respondents from the participating ministries’ donor list (“Database Sample”)
Christian Radio Listeners vs Ministry Donors:
“Would you describe yourself as Born again or Evangelical?”
Christian Radio Listeners vs Ministry Donors:
“How central is religion in your life?”
Christian Radio Listeners vs Ministry Donors:
“Are you a regular donor to a local church?”
Christian Radio Listeners vs Ministry Donors:
“How often do you listen to a Christian teaching talk radio
station, either on AM/FM or online?”
Christian Radio Listeners vs Ministry Donors:
“How much time have you spent listening to
Christian radio in the last week?”
Christian Radio Listeners vs Ministry Donors:
“How often do you use (item) to follow
a ministry program on the radio? (National Christian Sample)
How Radio Helps Ministry
“Radio gives us the ability to touch large numbers of lives with God’s
transforming truth and build relationships that listeners take seriously
and see as spiritually significant. Radio is instant, it’s personal, it’s
portable, and it speaks to the mind—it takes people well beyond
entertainment and engages their thinking.”
-Jay Flowers, Chief Operating Officer – Grace toYou
“For more than 40 years radio has been the primary connection point
Focus on the Family, reaching the largest audience with the biggest
impact of all our outreaches. Putting our trusted advice into the intimate,
immediate realm of Christian radio has built a deep relationship with
millions of listeners worldwide.”
-John Fuller,Vice President of the AudioTeam – Focus on the Family
Radio Review
• Radio is available free, everywhere and at any time.
• Radio is central to people’s lives and remains a powerful
tool motivating listeners to action.
• Christian Radio listeners are largely committed to their faith
and active in their local churches.
• A majority of Christian radio listeners are converted into
ministry donors and a majority support multiple ministries
over the course of the year.
Radio Review
For unparalleled, cost-effective reach to
(and response from) the most committed
Christians . . .
. . . the answer is Christian Radio!
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing
through the word of Christ.
