The Year In Numbers

What Your Giving Reached

In 2025 the curriculum reached about 4,500 people. In 2026, since our online outreach began on February 16, it has reached more than 364,000, about 81 times the 2025 number.

Figures run January 1 to October 23, 2026. Reach is counted country by country, so a person active in more than one country can be counted twice.

Into The Nations

Where People Are Reading

Every lit country has readers, 185 in all. The brightest are the largest audiences. 98.3% of readers are outside the United States.

Many of these are places where the church is small and discipleship resources are scarce, including Muslim majority nations and countries where believers face real danger for following Jesus.

Doors That Opened

Major Ministry Updates

Texas Prisons

TDCJ approval opened the door for 300 books to go inside Texas prisons this year. The next step is to get our app onto the devices used across the prison system.

GACX

I attended our first GACX conference this year and was invited to join the Theological Education and Church Planting Movements Impact Team.

Coalition Of The Willing

In February 2026 I attended the Coalition of the Willing meeting, building relationships with ministries working toward the same goal.

The Book

Free in print, on the web, in the app and in audio. We can now produce perfect bound or spiral bound books for readers in places where technology is scarce.

The Number That Matters Most

More Than Eighty People Said Yes

People who told us they accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior after reading Day 1.

Day 1 of After Salvation is a clear, simple explanation of the gospel. At the end of it, readers can tell us what they decided.

Their messages came from South Asia, Africa, the Philippines, Muslim majority and closed countries in the Middle East, and from believers here in the United States. Some shared prayer requests for their families, their studies, and friends who do not yet know God.

Every one of them met Jesus through something that was already free, already finished, and already waiting when they arrived. Alongside the website, we also helped give out more than 800 After Salvation books and workbooks and 10 Leader Guides this year.

Decisions are self reported. Names and locations are kept private to protect new believers.
