As we approach the year-end of 2025, we would like to thank the Lord for His blessings and for all of you who have been patient during this time of transition at The Berean Call. Dave Hunt and T. A. McMahon formed TBC in 1992, and it has been nearly 40 years since Dave wrote his first newsletter in February of 1986.

Our plan is to continue ministering in the way we always have. We have a wealth of resources by Dave Hunt and T. A. McMahon, which we’ll continue sending through the mail and posting for free online. So far we’ve posted more than 1,000 videos on YouTube. See www.thebereancall.org/social to find our online offerings. We appreciate your prayers as we seek to develop new material to edify believers and the church.
