Offer Your Message a New Audience
Most Worldwide Challenge readers do not read other Christian magazines, i.e., roughly 1% Charisma; 13% read Christianity Today; and 20% each, Decision and Guideposts. Worldwide Challenge is unique in that it still has a thriving print model that reaches a wide demographic group—one not built on age, but on spiritual convictions.
