Dial-the-Truth Ministries is a Biblical Christian website. The organization began in 1990 as a telephone ministry with "inspirational" recorded messages for the caller. They are King James Only-advocates, which means they believe the only "true" English version of the Bible is the Authorized Version of 1611 (hence, their web address: www.av1611.org; See King James Only movement).
