Stephen, thank you so much for being a friend, personal friend for many, many years, and even for being a part of the New York Gospel Ministries in New York City. I look back with fondness on all the conversations we've had together, talking about how to reach a city like New York, a city of over 800 languages. And I'm looking at this global sermon technology and asking the Lord, Lord, how can we use that in the city?
You know, when we wanted to reach more people, Stephen made it possible through Sermon Audio to use the technology to garnish sermons from preachers in Mexico and pastor, Mandarin pastor in Texas, so that we could have chapels and These people in New York would hear the gospel in their own language. And I'm very thankful for that. You're a man that thinks outside of the box. And I'm grateful for that.
And because of his focus on technology, it's allowed us now to use AI technology in our chapels. And we have six evangelistic chapels every week in four different languages using the technology of AI. And only the Lord knows how that can continue to be used in the future.
And I'm also grateful, Stephen, that New York Gospel Ministries hosts mission teams. So if you'd like to send a team to New York City and do evangelistic work, please contact us. This year we had 26 different teams on our calendar. We have an internship program for young preachers. I'm just indebted. I love you greatly, my friend.
