Living Entirely By Faith

“Once a teenager sent all he could, a “widow’s mite” of $1.50.
Oh, I wish you could have felt the joy in my heart!”

The Lord first called me to start this ministry in 2011, while I was still "making tents" (small video business).  I did that until I told my last client, "I believe yours is the last "tent" I am to make."  

Indeed, on Jan 17th, 2013 Father called me to set down my secular work and begin voluntarily serving Him and His children full-time, without charging any fees, or them having any obligation to give back, but to trust Him alone to meet my temporal needs as I served.

Now, thirteen years later, in 2026, I look back and praise God for His faithfulness all these years. He has provided every single temporal need I have had in the last 13 years, even when the ministry was severely cut back because of persecution. To this day, outside of this single webpage, I have never asked anyone for support, hinted about donations, or made any of our financial needs known, except to God alone.

Therefore, this is now one of the longest running miracles of the Lord’s faithfulness in my life and sources of .  This has allowed me to spend my full-time efforts creating and sharing all of this content and Biblical teaching, helping others for free to learn to walk in the fullness that is in Christ. And what truly makes this a miracle are the statistics of just how few people give to the kingdom of God. People will easily spend money on things like Netflix for entertainment, but only a very few support a ministry where they are being spiritually fed (Gal 6:6).‍ ‍

"Beloved, ...You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.  For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from Gentiles.  Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth. - 3 John 5:-8

Lisa and I are very simple people, and by the grace of the Lord Jesus, we are free from the love of money and the world. You may rest assured any gifts we receive, above our basic needs, are stewarded towards our ministry, NOT a growing lifestyle.  In 2025, we received a one time gift of $40k from a follower of the ministry. They suspected we could use the money to buy a car, because I haven’t had a car in over five years. Instead, we invested it into the kingdom of God by producing the “The Old Lost Trail” teaching series.

Also, we thank the Lord for your gift, but as a matter of conscience and personal choice, we are not an IRS registered tax exempt entity, so any gifts you give, will not qualify as tax write-offs to a charitable organization in the US, but they do count for rewards in heaven and we can't wait to see you there!

May the grace and peace of Christ be with you in abundance,

Michael and Lisa Chriswell
