Plus disaster relief supply chain problems, Ankerberg Institute concerns, and He Gets Us campaign

ONE YEAR AGO: On March 21, 2025, MinistryWatch reported that nearly half of the congregations that have been associated with a “Network” of churches overseen by Pastor Steve Morgan have either publicly announced their departure or removed any reference to the network from their websites. Families have also shared stories of lost contact with children who attend “Network” churches. Read more here.

TWO YEARS AGO: On March 19, 2024, MinistryWatch reported about the complex world of disaster relief supply chains, examining how inefficiencies in the process can impact how much aid gets to those in need. Read more here.

THREE YEARS AGO: On March 23, 2023, MinistryWatch reported that the Ankerberg Institute for Theological Research had raised about $20 million for audio Bibles on its flagship program but had spent only about 20%, or $4 million, on the Bibles themselves. In August of the same year, the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability terminated the ministry’s membership. Read more here.

FOUR YEARS AGO: On March 24, 2022, MinistryWatch reported that The Signatry, a Christian foundation, launched the “He Gets Us” campaign. The campaign included advertising during the Super Bowls starting in 2022 and continuing through 2026.  Read more here.

TWELVE YEARS AGO:  On April 1, 2014, MinistryWatch published its first warnings about St. Matthew’s Churches, which uses direct mail campaigns to prey on the elderly. You can read that article here. In 2022, MinistryWatch President Warren Smith was interviewed by WSOC-TV in Charlotte about this organization. You can watch that segment here.
