                             Announcement



For over 18 years Word, Inc. has maintained an artist relationship with

Christian comedian Mike Warnke. His 13 recordings and two videos have

ministered to countless believers and unbelievers. We continue to

support and acknowledge the gospel truths communicated on Warnke's

recordings and in his concerts.



In light of recent accusations (as reported in the Lexington

Herald-Leader, Wednesday, July 29, 1992) concerning the business ethics

and financial integrity of Warnke Ministries, Word, Inc. again met with

Warnke. After reviewing the reported information, Mike Warnke and Word,

Inc. have jointly determined to suspend the sale and promotion of

Warnke products and allow full return privileges pending the resolution

of questions surrounding this matter.



Word, Inc. is grieved by the initial and ongoing allegations directed

toward Mike Warnke. We are concerned for our friend and brother in

Christ. However, there are still many questions yet to be answered. At

this juncture, we trust and believe Mike Warnke will respond

comprehensively to these media allegations.



                                  Word, Inc.

                                  August 5, 1992

Public Relations Manager.
