🌍🔥 WE'RE BURSTING AT THE SEAMS! 38,450 BLOG HITS—AND COUNTING!
🙌 TO GOD BE THE GLORY! THE GOSPEL IS REACHING FAR BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS!
"This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes." — Psalm 118:23 (KJV)
❤️ SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY IS HAPPENING!
Family, friends, readers, viewers, followers, and supporters of Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International...
WE HAVE SOME WONDERFUL NEWS TO SHARE!
Our ministry blog has reached an incredible milestone:
🎉 38,450 HITS! 🎉
THIRTY-EIGHT THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY!
And the numbers keep climbing!
People are discovering our ministry blog, reading our messages, exploring our books, listening to our Gospel music and sermons, and learning about our missionary outreach.
WE'RE LITERALLY BURSTING AT THE SEAMS!
And I must tell you something.
I am excited!
Not simply because a number on a visitor counter keeps increasing.
Not because we're interested in becoming famous.
And certainly not because we're trying to build a name for ourselves.
BUT BECAUSE BEHIND THOSE NUMBERS ARE PEOPLE!
People with questions.
People searching for answers.
People who need encouragement.
People who are hurting.
People who are curious about God.
And people who may be hearing or reading something about Jesus Christ that causes them to stop, think, and reconsider the direction of their lives.
THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS WHAT EXCITES ME!
🌎 38,450 HITS—BUT HOW MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN TOUCHED?
Think about it.
Somewhere, someone may have opened our blog because they were searching for encouragement.
Perhaps they were struggling with a marriage.
Perhaps they were facing financial difficulties.
Maybe they were grieving the loss of someone they loved.
Perhaps they were considering giving up.
Or maybe they simply wanted to understand what the Bible says about something happening in their lives.
And somehow, through a search, a shared post, a recommendation, or a moment of curiosity, they found their way to our ministry blog.
What happened next?
We may never know.
They may have read a devotional.
They may have listened to a Gospel song.
They may have discovered one of our books.
They may have watched a sermon.
They may have read about our missionary efforts in the Philippines.
Or perhaps they encountered a Scripture that spoke directly to something they were experiencing.
ONE VISIT. ONE MESSAGE. ONE SCRIPTURE. ONE OPPORTUNITY FOR GOD'S WORD TO REACH A HUMAN HEART!
That's why these numbers matter to me.
Of course, blog hits are not the same as individual people, and a visitor counter cannot tell us how many souls have been saved or lives transformed.
But every visit represents an opportunity for someone to encounter a message of faith, hope, encouragement, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
AND THAT OPPORTUNITY IS WORTH CELEBRATING!
⏳ FROM 31,822 TO 38,450—LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING!
On October 16, 2026, at 5:48 p.m., I shared that our ministry blog had reached 31,822 hits.
Now, just days later, we're celebrating 38,450!
That's an increase of:
🔥 6,628 ADDITIONAL HITS! 🔥
I remember saying about a month ago that I believed we could reach 50,000 hits before the end of 2026.
At the time, that seemed like a wonderful goal.
An ambitious goal.
A goal that would require continued growth and support from our readers.
But look where we are now!
WE'RE ALREADY 76.9% OF THE WAY THERE!
And with the way the numbers are increasing, I'm beginning to wonder whether we might reach 50,000 before October is over!
Can it happen?
We certainly hope so!
But whether it happens in October, November, or December, one thing is already clear:
GOD HAS GIVEN US AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE HIS WORD WITH PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD!
And we are grateful.
✝️ THIS HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT NUMBERS ALONE!
Let me share something from my heart.
After decades of military service, preaching, writing, and missionary outreach, I've learned that the most important things in life cannot always be measured with a calculator.
You cannot put a numerical value on a broken heart being encouraged.
You cannot measure the worth of a person discovering hope after years of despair.
You cannot calculate the eternal significance of someone coming to faith in Jesus Christ.
And you certainly cannot place a price tag on a soul.
Jesus asked in Mark 8:36:
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
That's why our ministry continues doing what it does.
Whether we're preaching in a church, helping families in the Philippines, supporting children in school, publishing Christian books, sharing Gospel music, or writing another message for this blog...
THE MISSION REMAINS THE SAME!
To proclaim Jesus Christ.
To encourage the discouraged.
To help those in need.
To strengthen believers.
And to invite those who do not know Christ to discover the salvation He offers.
WE'RE NOT CHASING A NUMBER. WE'RE PURSUING A MISSION!
❤️ TO EVERY READER, VIEWER, FOLLOWER, AND FRIEND—THANK YOU!
If you've visited our blog once...
THANK YOU!
If you've returned to read another message...
THANK YOU!
If you've shared a post with your family or friends...
THANK YOU!
If you've listened to our Gospel music, watched a sermon, purchased one of our books, or prayed for our ministry...
THANK YOU!
And to our faithful supporters and donors who help make our missionary outreach possible...
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!
You may never fully realize the difference your prayers, encouragement, generosity, and willingness to share our messages can make.
A single shared link can travel farther than we ever imagined.
A message written in one place can be read in another country.
A Gospel song can reach someone we've never met.
And a simple word of encouragement can arrive at precisely the moment someone needs it.
THAT IS THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT SHARING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST!
🚀 CAN WE REACH 50,000 BEFORE OCTOBER ENDS?
11,550 MORE TO REACH 50,000!
That's the remaining distance between where we are today and the milestone we originally hoped to reach by December 31.
And now we're asking:
WHY NOT OCTOBER 31?
We don't know whether we'll reach that milestone so quickly.
But we're going to keep writing, preaching, sharing, encouraging, and trusting God for opportunities to reach more people.
And you can help!
Not necessarily by donating money.
Not necessarily by doing anything complicated.
JUST SHARE THE MESSAGE!
Send a blog post to a friend.
Share a devotional with your family.
Introduce someone to our Gospel music.
Recommend one of our books.
Invite someone who needs encouragement to visit our blog.
And above all, pray that the messages we share will point people toward Jesus Christ.
Because the greatest achievement would not be reaching 50,000 hits.
IT WOULD BE KNOWING THAT SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, CAME TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST THROUGH SOMETHING THEY ENCOUNTERED IN THIS MINISTRY!
🙏 A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with grateful hearts.
Thank You for every opportunity You've given Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Thank You for our readers, viewers, followers, friends, supporters, and ministry partners.
Thank You for every person who has visited our blog, read a message, listened to a song, watched a sermon, or learned about our missionary outreach.
Lord, we do not know the circumstances of everyone who visits our pages.
Some may be rejoicing.
Some may be grieving.
Some may be searching for answers.
And some may be struggling through difficulties they have never shared with anyone.
Father, may Your Word bring hope to the discouraged, comfort to the grieving, wisdom to the confused, and encouragement to those who feel forgotten.
And above all, may those who do not know Jesus Christ come to know Him as Lord and Savior.
Keep us humble.
Keep us faithful.
Keep our motives pure.
And remind us continually that the glory belongs to You alone.
May every new opportunity to reach someone become an opportunity to honor Your name.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray.
AMEN! 🙌
🌍 38,450 HITS! AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED!
I want to leave you with this thought.
Somewhere in the world, someone is searching for the very message God has placed upon your heart to share.
You may never meet them.
You may never know their name.
And you may never hear their testimony.
But that doesn't mean your words cannot make a difference.
So keep praying.
Keep encouraging.
Keep sharing.
Keep believing.
And keep pointing people toward Jesus Christ!
38,450 HITS!
50,000 IN OUR SIGHTS!
AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO REACH A SOUL IS WORTH MORE THAN THE NUMBER ON OUR COUNTER!
🔥 TO GOD BE THE GLORY—GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE!
