Apologetics Index and Religion News Blog, published by AI, are provided as a free service to all guests. We don't want anyone to feel pressured into supporting us.

That said, Apologetics Index is a reader-supported ministry.

Apologetics Index is an independent, personal ministry - not sponsored by any church, organization, ministry or individual.

Thing is, due to their respective health situations, Anton and Janet Hein-Hudson - the publishers of Apologetics Index - live on a minimum income. Quite frankly, our budget does not allow us to carry the costs associated with the running of two high-traffic sites.

Therefore, we rely on donations in order to pay for site- and ministry related expenses, such as:

• monthly ISP bill (our internet access):
  € 79.95/month ($96/month)
• our web-hosting bills (from the service where our sites are located):
  2 x $44.95 = $89.90/month (Two accounts on semi-dedicated servers with plenty of space and high-bandwidth allowance for Apologetics Index and Religion News Blog)
• domain names (e.g. apologeticsindex.org, countercult.com, religionnewsblog.com, and 15 more, pointing at various sections and services of Apologetics Index):
  $180/year
• upkeep of computer equipment
  (New equipment needed soon)
• upgrades of web-building programs and utilities
• backup CDs
• purchase of research material
• other ministry-related expenses (phone, postage, etcetera).

Donations are needed, welcome and much appreciated.
