The Ronald L Dart Evangelistic Association

What it reported doing in 2025

Consultant fees to dynamic christian ministries, management consultant fee, promotion expenses for website content on rldea.com. The above is accomplished by dcm planning, organizing, and controlling most administrative and operational functions for the purpose of meeting rldea's major objective. Dcm is a well-established christian ministry that has existed since 2006. Since dcm has contacts nationally and internationally, rldea has contracted with dcm to run rldea's administation and operating functions for an annual fee of 60,000. Even though rldea and dcm have different mission statements, the doctrinal beliefs of both organizations allow the two groups to work together under this business arrangement. Below is a non-comprehensive list of functions performed for rldea by dcm: 1) produce and broadcast rldea's live, monthly sermon on the "remember the sabbath" (rts) sermon series. Each sermon averages about 1,100 hits on facebook and youtube within the first week of the live broadcast. 2) provide three slots for rldea commercials to be played on dcm's "start our sabbath" (sos) live friday night broadcast. This show averages about 1,600 hits on facebook and youtube within the first week of the live broadcast. 3) record introductions for the late ron dart's sermons on the "turn the page" (ttp) sermon series. (this recording function does not include the final editing of the ttp programs by sound engineers.) these sermons are now receiving about 3,600 hits each within two weeks of each original broadcast. 4) write texts for audio commercials for rldea. (this does not include the final editing of the commercials by sound engineers.) these commercials are available for viewing on the rldea website and are played on sos, rts, facebook and youtube. 5) design rldea's webpage and manage its creation. (this does not include the actual webpage maintenance.) 6) hire and supervise outside services who edit ron's sermon transcripts so they may be turned into printed bible studies that are posted on the rldea website. 7) monitor the rldea website and supervise the webmaster. 8) provide management, administration and promotion of an annual rldea women's conference.
