2026 — May
Update from EveryStudent.com
Hi,
I hope you are well and resting in God's faithfulness.
Isaiah 28:23-29 shows how God guides the farmer. The farmer knows when to…, to make sure to…, knows not to…, instead do this…. Then comments:
"For he is rightly instructed; his God teaches him….This comes from the Lord of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom."
This week it struck me again how clearly God has guided EveryStudent.com.
Way back in 2003, God brought someone our way who showed us how to reach the very people who were actively searching to know God.
And then in 2006, God brought someone who showed us how to do so in a very cost- efficient way. And we have stayed on that path ever since.
Yes, we have been responsible in SEO (search engine optimization), in social media presence, in AI optimization. But none of those strategies have warranted any further time or effort, nor brought significant results.
We have stayed focused on how God has led, using advertising to reach those who are actively searching.
Just during April, over 16 million people came to our sites. And more than half a million people received Christ. In one month.
God "is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom."
What's Happening in the World
EveryStudent.com is seeing people come to Christ in nearly every area of the world, including in Iran, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia.
The greatest number of people coming to Christ are from these countries (in order):
India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan, Vietnam, Peru, Kenya, Nigeria, Algeria, Mexico, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Iraq, Ghana, Morocco, and Tunisia.
You'll notice that many of these countries are in the 10/40 latitude window where 2/3 of the world's population lives. It is predominantly Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist. It is often very difficult to talk openly about Jesus in many of these countries.
I love that people who are searching for answers for their lives can privately and safely learn the truth about Jesus, receive him and grow in their relationship with him…and at no cost to them!
Here is a snapshot representing some of the countries in 2026. It shows the number of people God drew to the site, and drew to himself:

Changed Lives
It's funny: Since I became a Christian 18 months ago my life has been pretty difficult, but I have a joy that never ceases. This has replaced chronic depression which lasted from my early childhood until my 50s. Multiple psychiatrists told me I would never improve. I can honestly say that without eternal life I would still be happy, just with the wonderful gift that God has already given me. Getting to spend eternity in God's presence is almost inconceivable. ~Mike
