Parachurch Donor Revenue growth has outstripped churches for the past 20 or more years. In 1900, parachurches received about 12.5% of religious donations. By 1970, that had increased to 28.5% and it’s estimated that in 1996 parachurches received 51.5% ($100 billion) , more than churches ($94 billion). (Christianity Today, 5/19/97)
