Update from EveryStudent.com
Hi,
Whatever is going on in your life (or mine) this excerpt from Psalm 9 is a safe landing place:
"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High." Why? It continues:
"The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you."
So, first a decision: "I will…" Secondly, the why: how faithful God is.
All of EveryStudent.com is centered on helping people see clearly who God is, his heart, and the invaluable relationship with him that he freely offers us.
What Happened Last Year
Some evangelistic videos added to EveryStudent.com are having an enormous impact. One video shows how to know God. Another on why we can count on God. Another video on why we can be certain of God's existence. These are powerfully reaching people of many nations.
In 2025, we added Facebook advertising and focused on advertising these videos. Here are the results.
(rounding #s)
2023 - 54 million people came to EveryStudent sites; 960,000 people received Christ
2024 - 82 million people came; 1,580,000 received Christ
2025 - 91 million people came; 3,890,000 received Christ.
So Now…
We are creating these videos into other languages. Nine are done so far: Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Indonesian, Bulgarian, Thai, Russian, Hindi, Arabic. The next step is building advertising for these. I'm creating ad campaigns as quickly as funding comes in. Thank you to many of you who give!!

Questions Sent to EveryStudent.com
I thought you might enjoy seeing the kinds of questions that come to EveryStudent.com. These were sent to the English site:
"I am an agnostic atheist, desperately wanting to believe in God. I struggle with numerous issues but one is of the world's religions. What makes Christianity the right one? What happens to the others who think they are right?" ~Zach
"Can God really change my life for the better and where do I start?" ~Norman
"I want to die. how can I die without pain? please let me know." ~Emon
"How can I know for certain that I have eternal life?" ~Lynn
"I'm a little new to having a relationship with God. When I hear 'without God you are nothing' it makes me feel a certain way…like you're pretty dumb or incompetent without God. What exactly does that mean? How exactly do I accept that in a positive way without seeing it as a negative thing or as a controlling thing. Because I don't think He's a controlling God but the word is kinda confusing." ~Zaniyah
"I am at a crossroads in my life. I have chased the wrong things. I have many failures in my life including relationships, financial problems, maybe a sex addiction..not sure. I feel at this point if I were to die tomorrow, I really have nothing to show for it. Just thinking about how to live a virtuous life is almost alien to me. I am lost. I cannot even make a true home for my self on earth let alone find my way home to God. So lost. So empty. What do I do?" ~Mark
"So do I have to sit with my head bowed and my hands closed together to talk to god. Can I think what I want to say and he knows it or do I have to go into a full blown conversation. And if I ask god to come into my heart how do I know he will or that he has." ~Darlene
"How do I become a Christian?" ~Don
"I am an Afghan who is privately interested in the Christian faith. Due to security concerns, I cannot provide many personal details. I am only looking to learn and understand my faith through safe online Bible study or educational resources. Could you please guide me to any safe online materials or ways to learn more." ~Aimal
"I wonder about going to hell because I dont feel the closeness. I was baptized at 12 in a mormon church. then I hear it's a different Jesus. then I got rebaptized. wish I had more trust but I worry I will not be saved." ~Karen
"I just can’t stop wondering if there really is a God and Jesus. I truly want to believe. Why am I so skeptical?" ~Meggan
Note: We soon will be making some changes to EveryStudent.com which likely will increase the number of questions sent by visitors. We might need more staff to respond to questions that are sent by visitors. If you are interested, please let me know.
Lives Changed by God
"Thank you so much for this. It has helped so much. I always thought I had to perform to be accepted by God. I strive to be recognized by HIM, but this has been so insightful." ~Kayleigh
"Thanks for encouragement and making me grow day by day." ~Ebby
"Your messages have really touched me deeply, especially during this difficult time. My wife is currently undergoing chemotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and there are moments when everything feels heavy and uncertain. But reading your reflections about God’s love and strength reminds me that we are never alone, that Jesus is walking with us even on the hardest days. You have given me hope and peace when I needed it most." ~Rene
"I highly appreciate the spiritual kit because it has changed my lifestyle. Really God is a secret to recognize in everyday life." ~Waiswa
"I am finding this very useful on my journey of getting to know Jesus." ~Rita
"I always wondered how to get Jesus into my life so I could give myself to Jesus. this program has been a big help. thank you." ~Joe
"I was diagnosed Chronic Depression, CPTSD and Avoidant Personality Disorder, and my psychiatrist and doctor both told me I would never improve. From the day I accepted Jesus I haven't felt depressed. I hadn't worked in 10 years because of my mental health. I've just passed 1 year in my job, and people have commented on how happy I seem. I haven't seen my psychiatrist since my conversion, and my doctor comments on how much I've changed. So whilst I still wrestle with my thoughts at times, I can always be thankful because I remember the state that I was in such a short time ago. Thank you for the work that you're doing. It is a regular source of inspiration to me." ~Mike
Only God changes lives. It's a joy to help millions of people know a new life in relationship with him.
