iMissions Update for March 2023

From J.D.'s Desk                                                                               2023-04-06

In the next few weeks India's population will surpass that of China, and India will become the most populous country on earth with over 1.4 billion people. It also happens to be our top country from the month of March. We reached 126,000 people there, via 9 different languages. It's a great start, but with 22 official languages and dozens of minority and tribal languages in the country, there's more we can do. We're currently working on translations into several additional Indian languages that we hope to be able to use in our iMissions outreach soon. Please pray for this effort, and for a certain pastor who is helping evangelize and disciple some of those responding to our Hindi ads this month.

In March we also had a scare that reminded us of the fragility of the World Wide Web, and how precious this iMissions opportunity is that one day might be gone forever. After a glitch on the main server for the website that provides the downloads, Google blocked all of our ads. The glitch was able to be corrected quickly, and we're putting better protections in place in case there's ever a similar issue in the future. But it took over a week to convince Google to let our ads run again. That precious time was lost, leaving thousands of souls dwelling in darkness. It is they who will thank you for your continued prayers and support, which is truly all that makes it possible for us to reach them while there's still time.

We use 100% of the money you donate to the iMissions fund to buy ads through Google and Facebook offering a free download of the Good and Evil comic book Bible in over 40 languages. Most of the people we are reaching are in nations that are restricted or hostile to the gospel.
