Would You Like to See Theocast PUBLISHING and CONFERENCES? #givingtuesday

All right, Justin, it's that time of year again, end of year giving and Giving Tuesday. Talk to us why this is important.

Everybody's excited for Giving Tuesday, for the holiday season, for the end of the year. Can you believe it's already the end of 2023?

I can't.

Time does pass quickly. I trust this goes without saying to all of you out there. John and I are grateful for you. We're grateful for your support, for your encouragement. And Fieldcast wouldn't maybe even exist and certainly wouldn't be what it is without each.

Of you.

So thank you.

Ministry Growth and Gratitude for Support

Yeah, the support that you receive, that we receive as pastors, we're able to continue to do this ministry. And as you know, the reach has really grown. We've now are at over a million views on YouTube and over 4 million downloads on the podcast.

And that's over 50 different countries. So we're overwhelmed with the worldwide reach. And on top of that, we started a brand new community that most of you may have known by now called the Fieldcast community, which has almost a thousand people in it.

And I think one of the most significant parts of our ministry, Justin, that you and I were able to participate in and Fieldcast was able to have a significant role in which is starting the Grace Reform Network, a network of confessionally reformed churches that are focused on encouraging one another and planting other churches.

Future Plans for Theocast Publishing and Conferences

Yeah, and Fieldcast was definitely a catalyst for that and a rallying point for that. And we're thankful and praise the Lord for all of it. As we look to the future, as this year is fast ending, as we look to the future, we're excited to see the Lord continue to reach more people week over week with the weekly podcast.

And as we look to 2024 in particular, we're hoping next year to launch Theocast Publishing. So our own publishing house where we can create more accessible, reformed resources to help more people find rest in Christ.

And then, drumroll please, we hope in 2025 to host our first Theocast conference. And so none of these things, the increased reach with the podcast, the publishing house or conferences, none of those things are going to be able to happen without your ongoing generous support for you listeners out there.

End-of-Year Giving Goal and Call to Donate

Yeah, so how can you get involved? Our end of year goal is $50 ,000. That will help us with all of these new endeavors that we're trying to at least get started on top of the monthly support that we already have.

So for those of you that are supporting us monthly already, if you could think about an additional gift that could go towards that $50 ,000 would be helpful. And anyone who has not started donating yet, this would be a great time for you if you are looking for a place or ministry to donate.

So Justin and I want to say thank you. We are so thankful for this last year and the many years we've had together. We're thankful and excited about the year to come and just continue to pray with us.

And hopefully this money will be used to reach more people with the gospel of Christ. We'll see you soon.
