Prior to 2001, 10% of the royalties from Randy's books were used by EPM for its expenses, and 90% were given to worthy ministries, particularly global missions. Since 2001 we have been able to donate 100% of all book royalties—and sometimes more—for ministry purposes, most of those to other ministries, and some to help facilitate the giving away of our books to people all over the world. Since the inception of Eternal Perspective Ministries in 1990 through 2012, EPM has given over six million dollars in book royalties to ministries around the world. We're grateful to the Lord for his provision.
