Thank you for your part in what we see God doing among the nations. The 300-word limit of these updates doesn’t allow us to report much, but that’s OK since we see only “the mere edges of His ways” anyways (Job 26:14)! Here are a few stats and a story for prayer and praise.

Stats: YouTube analytics revealed that during the month of June, the multi-language KING of GLORY movie had 61,500 views for a total of nearly 230,000 minutes of watch time. That’s an average of 2050 views per day for a total of 127 watch hours daily.

In March, we mentioned the secular “King of Glory” video game (with its 80 million daily users) that was unwittingly leading some of their players to the English Old Testament KING of GLORY movie. As a result, in the past 8 months, 108,000 visitors have unintentionally found and clicked on this chronological gospel movie. Would you pray that the word of the LORD would take root in the hearts of those who watch it? God’s word says: “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.” (Isaiah 65:1)

Stories: A couple of days ago, a brother who works in Central Asia called to tell us what is happening just across the border in Afghanistan, where the Taliban are rapidly seizing Afghan territory. Afghan soldiers are fleeing into surrounding “stan” countries. Afghan mothers are pleading for the lives of their children. And teams of local believers are taking risks to seize the opportunities to demonstrate God’s love by providing food bags, showing KING of GLORY in Afghan languages (Dari and Pashto), then giving out phone cards with the movie. Some are being saved. The brother also reported that 45 new believers have been baptized in the past two months. As he put it, “It’s been an amazing summer!” Amen. Praise God.
