REJOICING IN GRACE,
GROUNDED IN PRAYER,
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Are you unsure of what the future
holds? Do you find it hard to
trust in the unknown and the
unseen? You are not alone; this is
something that all of us deal with
at some time or another.
Although it may seem difficult to
trust God, you can decide today
to entrust every aspect of your
life to Him. When you turn the
controls of your life over to your
heavenly Father, He will
lead you.
We live in a world that is filled
with facts and figures. Our daily
planners are filled with things to
do and goals to achieve. We are
constantly faced with decisions
6 | CDM ANNUAL REPORT
that affect our lives in a positive
or negative way. Many times we
step out on things not knowing the
ultimate outcome, but just trusting
God will work it out for our good.
There is a fail-safe way to live
your life and make decisions
that will always take you in the
right direction—by developing
confidence in God and His
Word. Just as in any other
relationship, your confidence and
trust in God comes only when you
spend time with Him every day.
By fellowshipping with the Father
through prayer and reading His
Word, your confidence in Him
will grow.
Proverbs 3:5–7 says, “Trust in the
Lord with all thine heart; and lean
not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths. Be
not wise in thine own eyes: fear
the Lord, and depart from evil.”
God knows your heart. Whatever
your circumstances, don’t allow
yourself to become discouraged.
Your heavenly Father knows how
to take you to your destiny. “For
this is God, our God forever
and ever; He will be our guide
even to death” (Psalm 48:14).
Even though you may not know
the specifics, you can still have
confidence every moment simply
because you trust God to lead
you. He will do more than you
can ask or think.
“When you know that
God loves you, you will be
firmly established on the
truth that He cares about
you and knows how to
direct your life.”
These are principles that have
guided the work of this ministry for
three decades, and we will grow
into the future seeking His will
and seeking out those in need.
Wherever someone has a need I
know God is calling us there. It’s
a simple approach to ministry.
Sincerely,
Creflo Dollar

OUR PASSION
JESUS!
IS TO REACH THE WORLD FOR
“Television is more
than a communication
medium; what we
want to do is tell-avision; not only the
vision of our ministry,
but the vision of God’s
purpose to love every
person on the face of
the earth,”
- Creflo Dollar.
Long before the Internet
connected people
around the world,
Creflo and Taffi Dollar
took up the charge to
preach the Gospel of
Jesus Christ in every
corner of the globe
without compromise. In
1990, they discovered
television was the most
effective way to reach
people on a global
scale.
For more than a
decade, they have
accomplished this
through the Changing
Your World television
and radio broadcasts.
The ministry’s Media
staff have received
Emmy, Aurora, and Telly
award recognition for
its work. The program
reaches nearly one
billion homes on six
continents and airs on
more than 100 stations.

THE CHANGING YOUR
WORLD BROADCAST
TESTIMONIES
I would like to speak on behalf of
myself and other inmates at the
California Correctional Institute
in Tehachapi, CA. We would
like to ask you to continue to run
your television program in our
area. Dr. Dollar’s teachings have
given many of us more clarity
about God’s Word. We would
be sad to see the program taken
off the air in our area. If it does,
we know that God will make
another way for us to hear Dr.
Dollar. Thank you for doing God’s
work, and may God continue to
bless everyone at Creflo Dollar
Ministries.
G. , Tehachapi, CA
On March 31 of last year, I
lost my wife, the love of my life.
She went home to be with the
Lord while she was praying that
Saturday. The feelings of pain
and the sense of loss were so
overwhelming it drove me into 42
days of fasting and prayer. During
this time,
54 | CDM ANNUAL REPORT
I cried a lot and rarely left the
house. I begged God to take
me home. It was during that
time of brokenness that I began
to understand the true grace of
God. I couldn’t put it into words
until I saw you teaching on
Grace, and your discussions with
other men of God on TBN. I’ve
been saved for 40 years, and I
couldn’t understand why I wasn’t
committed 100 percent to God’s
service. Now I know I’ve been
mixing grace with the Law. Thank
you, Creflo
B.B., Jackson, Florida
Thank you for teaching us the
Word of God. You taught me
how to stand in faith when
Hurricane Sandy hit New York
and New Jersey. My family and
I were without electricity for more
than 9 days. During that time,
I was scheduled to have knee
replacement surgery. I studied
the Word with you daily via
TBN, and I began to make my
faith confessions. When I was
told I didn’t need surgery for the
arthritis I said under my breath,
“By Jesus stripes I am healed!” I
thank God for the doctors’ ability
to diagnose and to treat, but God
is the healer. While our home
was freezing cold, I continued
to confess that by His stripes I
am healed, and I woke up one
day with no pain in either of
my knees! If you had not been
teaching us how to stand in faith,
I would probably be recovering
from knee surgery now. But
because I read God’s Word, you
explained God’s Word, and I
believed God’s Word, I received
my healing. I know that every
good thing is what He wants for
me. I believe in Him.

TESTIMONIES
Dear Brother in Christ,
I am taking the time to say thank
you for all your prayers during my
time of trial. Nineteen months ago
I was given a really bad report by
my doctor. He told me I had stage
4 breast cancer, and I couldn’t
undergo surgery. There was no
cure. I vowed then that
I was going to beat that sickness.
I told everyone that I was going
to win this fight. I sought God
and trusted every word He has
spoken. Today all of my doctors
are probably still scratching their
heads in disbelief. My last PET
scan in December 2012 showed
no sign of cancer. Recently, I
had a lumpectomy, and
discovered the cancer is all
gone! Thanks be to God for all of
eternity! Thank you Jesus for your
healing power! Thanks to you
Brother Dollar, and your prayer
team for praying for me.
S.M. , Palm Beach, Florida
Dear Brother Dollar,
I live in a small Montana city by
the name of Geraldine. I became
a Christian approximately
10 years ago. Your television
broadcast comes on here at
5:30 a.m., and those programs
have blessed me so much. Your
messages always speak to me.
The people here in Geraldine
have been watching my every
move. Instead of seeing my pickup in front of the local bar, they
see it in front of our church. Keep
up the good work, and may God
keep His blessing coming your
way. Your partner in Christ,
B.C., Geraldine, Montana
Dear Brother Dollar,
I love how you teach God’s
Word. You have helped to bring
joy and the love of God into my
life and for this I am so grateful.
God has blessed me with good
health and a sound mind—all
because of how you teach
God’s Word. I watch every day,
and I ask that you please keep
teaching. Thank you.
P .C.
Dear Brother Dollar,
Every morning, I watch your
broadcast. I love and appreciate
your teachings. I am 64 years
old, and I’ve been in church all
my life. However, since watching
your broadcast, I am hearing
things I’ve never heard or seen
before in the Bible. Thank you
very much Dr. Dollar for your
obedience to God.
E.V. , Memphis, Tennessee
Dear Brother Creflo,
Your faithful teaching of God’s
Word to His people has been
such a blessing to me! You
have had a profound impact on
our lives that has changed us
forever! We no longer have lack
in ANY area of our lives! Praise
Jesus! It all started with your July
17, 2011 message, “How the
Kingdom of God Operates,” from
which God then called us to go
on a 30-day fast (which started
on February 22, 2012) from
all worldly influences. Well, we
decided to fast for an entire year,
and we have gotten more Word
in our lives this past year than
we could have ever imagined! In
addition, God has blessed us with
a brand new baby boy!
With Love and Blessings,
R. G.

Cold Nights on the Streets of Toronto
Cold Nights on the
Streets of Toronto
With temperatures reaching all time lows at -10 degrees in Toronto, Creflo Dollar Global
Missions Canada is taking their local streets by storm. In the midst of the fierce winds,
snow and rain they are spreading the love of God to the stranger in practical and effective ways.
CDM Canada has deployed a team during late evenings over the course of the past
few days. At the coldest peaks of the day they drive around in the snow-filled, and what
appears to be, deserted streets searching for those in need of apparel to keep warm and
survive the brutally cold nights. Along with handing out items like blankets and hats to
those without shelter, they take the opportunity to share the Gospel of grace at a time
when it is needed most.
CDGM Canada has distributed numerous blankets and hats over several days to
the homeless. As the days pass, the reach and number of those being helped are
steadily rising.

India Empowerment Campaign
India Empowerment:
God’s Grace Provides
Our US based missions team deployed to India for the first time! This team joined our CDM-India Missions Team in ministering
to the medical, educational and spiritual needs of children and widows, demonstrating the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
In India, we focused in on 2 of our CDGM causes; Care for Kids and Project Virtue. The mission for India is ensuring that
women and children who are abused and in need are cared for through ministering the Gospel of grace in various ways to
change their mindsets; they will be empowered to change.
Through the support of shelters, schools, and Bible studies, we will assist our partners on the ground to enable children to grow
up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and women to experience freedom and empowerment like never before. Going
forward, all missions trips will assist in achieving this goal.

A FINAL WORD

Dear Partners and Friends,
From the beginning this ministry
has been actively involved in
meeting the needs of many
around the world. Global
outreach has always been of high
priority and a vital part of our
plan to share God’s love. Over
the past 29 years it has been an
honor to give an abundance of
money and resources to existing
charities and ministries, and
provide food, shelter, medical aid
and clean water directly to those
in need. With your support, we
believe we can make a bigger
mark and reach many more

lives in need. When you partner
with Creflo Dollar Ministries and
sow a seed, it becomes a seed
that is twice sown. In the last
four years, over $1.5 million
went to our Missions’ endeavors
to feed, clothe, and nurture
orphans, provide for widows and
thousands of others in desperate
need of resources.
Whether they were povertystricken due to natural disaster,
economic conditions or illness we
helped meet practical needs by
supplying resources to people all
over the world.
seed of $20 a month
can make a difference in some­
one’s life.
How much would you give to
change the world and reach a
billion souls? God can bless the
inside walls of the Church when
we’re willing to go outside those
walls. He needs people willing
to “go ye” into all the world and
share this glorious Gospel of
grace! When you do, you no
longer have to go door-to-door
knocking to win souls—now you
can get in the house by standing
with our television outreach! Your
that you have and change the
world. It’s time for partners and
friends to put our crumbs in the
basket and change lives globally!
In His hands, Jesus can multiply
that precious seed and make it do
what it needs to do! You can help
bring God’s grace to free people
from shame and guilt.
Get a vision of grace being
preached on every continent!
With your help I believe we can
do it.
You may think, what can such a
small donation do for somebody?
Just like Jesus used the crumbs
from a little boy’s lunch to feed the
multitude, He can take the little
