In years past, GreatControversy.org has been a 501c3 ministry. Doing ministry that way entailed considerable record keeping and government form filling-out. We were led to change our approach and discontinue the ministry in that formalized mode. All those previous assets have gone over to Philippians Two Five Publishing, which has better distribution channels than GCO ever did.
NOTE: The work for which the Church employs me is pastoral ministry. All other activities are strictly secondary and must be accomplished in my personal time.
While GreatControversy.org is no longer a non-profit corporation, I continue to operate the GreatControversy.org website as before it was for a period a formalized ministry. Now it is a personal ministry again. It still costs us something to keep the site on the internet.
Operating GreatControversy.org
My cost for a year's worth of webhosting + domain name registration, with all discounts applied, is about $9.00 a month. If just 12 people are impressed to provide funding for a month, the blessing of the site's ministry can is made available to many.
We recommend that members of the Seventh-day Adventist church be faithful in tithes and offerings through your local church. We do not solicit or knowingly accept tithe.
Need Better Lighting
I need to upgrade my lighting to either a Godox SL-60 ($134) or a Aputure 120d II ($745), plus lightbox setup (aputure lightdome mini ii since that is all I have room for) ($139).
If you would like to make a free will offering to GreatControversy.org, make all checks payable to Larry Kirkpatrick and send to:

Again, GCO is not a non-profit ministry, your gifts are taxable and there will be no receipts.
