It's just good to be with you all. It's good to be on the ground. This year, we've been on five different continents, and the opportunities everywhere we've gone have just really been overwhelming at times to see the response to Ligonier Resources and also the great need. And we just continue to come back with this consistent theme of urgency. Could you please send resources soon?

And I'm just pleased to report that there are so many needs. And at the same time, there's so many great examples of where those needs are being met and where Ligonier is able to provide assistance. And that's really in large part due to our ministry partners.

And so we see ourselves, Nathan and Chris, I know we've talked about this a lot, that we are really a supply line to the front lines of the Great Commission. And that means that we are partnering with people around the world, people who are actually boots on the ground doing the work.

and we are enabling what they do and to do it better and hopefully biblically and in a way that is trustworthy and consistent with the ancient creeds and confessions that we all adore and cling to so desperately. And I'll give you one example of a report we just received from a partner in Kenya. We have been working with them on providing resources to a hospital And it's been a pilot program.

And Chris, we've talked about this many times. We've provided study Bibles for them, for their staff, and even for the local pastors that are connected to this hospital. And at the same time, for the patients, we've been providing resources such as teaching series. Imagine sitting in a waiting room. It's not a great experience.

But what Ligonier has been able to do is to provide teaching series clips for all those people in the waiting room. And it lasts for 90 minutes and it continues to loop through. But they get great gospel content and they get to see that and listen to that while they're waiting for their loved one to be cared for. And so that's just one example.

That's right. Yeah, I think the total number of hospitals is something close to 60 when you actually think about all the different facilities that they have. And it's in multiple countries and multiple continents.

That's right. Yeah, and earlier this year, actually just a couple months ago, Chris, you and I were in Southeast Asia. We had an opportunity to meet with pastors in South Korea and a very similar interaction and engagement with them.

I think we were probably more blessed by that time with them than even what they were in just hearing the reports and the affection and appreciation they have for Ligonier and for Dr. Sproul and the teaching content that we produce. Yeah, our ministry partners –

Yeah, and on that trip, was also able to go to Singapore. And what was so encouraging for me was that a brother from mainland China who has been a partner of ours for many years, was able to legally get into Singapore to spend some time with me and just to talk about opportunities we have to serve pastors in a very difficult country, as we all are, I'm sure, well aware.
