Our current listening audience reaches clear across the entire globe. Some of these countries include: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom to name a few. Indeed, we also have listeners in each and every state in the USA. Your own listening audience. SermonAudio.com maintains a growing audience of thousands of regular listeners who like to listen to sermons on our site either at the office or at home. But did you know that your primary listening audience could be your own church members who perhaps wish to listen to last week’s sermon again? Or maybe they would like to email that very sermon to their unsaved friends and loved ones. Missionaries, travelling members, or other church friends in various parts of the world will also appreciate being able to "keep up" with the weekly messages from your church. Immediately enjoy a large listening audience for your sermons. SermonAudio.com is more than just technology: it is our conviction that millions of people are hungering and thirsting for solid, uncompromising, Bible preaching and teaching. One way to reach them and for many the only way to be reached is through the Internet. SermonAudio.com delivers what no single church website can offer—an easy-to-use interface coupled with a large listening audience. We make it very easy for any church to post new audio sermons on a regular basis but more importantly, every church broadcasting on SermonAudio.com will immediately enjoy an already-established listening audience as indicated by the following statistics: To date, over 28 MILLION sermons have been downloaded all over the world! There are over ONE MILLION new downloads each month. The site receives over thirteen million page views each month. 172,500+ subscribers receive our weekly email newsletter. SermonAudio.com consistently ranks in Google's Top search results when searching for audio sermons. These figures are growing every day and ultimately translate into more people listening to your church's sermons, more people being saved, and more Christians growing in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. SermonAudio.com takes your ministry far beyond the walls of your building at a much lower cost than traditional forms of outreach. Price: The Necessity of a Monthly Fee. SermonAudio.com was founded for the purpose of preserving and distributing doctrinally sound preaching to our own generation and to those who will come after us. Using state-of-the-art technology, SermonAudio.com is working hard to get the preaching of faithful, local churches out to a world desperately in need of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is certainly a noble goal. But a project of this scope must be financed adequately. Indeed, maintaining a site with tens of thousands of audio sermons requires a great deal of storage and bandwidth expense. But for the low monthly fee of $29.95, we catalog, accumulate, and make your sermons easily accessible to the world. We think this is a reasonable fee for the incredible value we are providing to even the smallest of churches. Please note that there is a one-time signup fee of $150 which includes your first month of broadcasting and 20 free sermon submissions. After that, there is a $1 submission charge for every new sermon added. The recurring monthly fee not only gives your church worldwide, immediate exposure, but it also keeps all previous sermons constantly available and broadcasting on the site to a global audience 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please consider broadcasting your audio sermons with us! Broadcast Today in 3 Steps ...
