As we enter into a new year, 2026, it seems fitting to take a look back at 2025 so we can celebrate all that God has done.
In August of 2025, Living in Truth Ministries turned 17 years old. That number might not seem significant at first glance, but it is very significant in God’s eyes. The number 17, biblically speaking, symbolizes complete victory, overcoming enemies, and spiritual perfection.
For example:
- Noah’s Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th day of the 7th month after the flood, representing new life after judgment.
- Jesus’ resurrection occurred on Nisan 17, which secured victory over death for you and me.
- Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery at the age of 17, ushering him into a time of sanctification, which enabled him to not only forgive his brothers, but to save his family from certain destruction.
And in only 17 years, God took what began as a small, local-based organization in my hometown and turned it into a global organization that reaches tens of thousands of individuals around the world.
To date, Living in Truth Ministries has reached over 87,000 individuals from 190 different countries. What’s even more amazing is the fact that 80% of that number occurred during the past 3 years alone.
With God all things are possible.
As we thank God for all He has done, we also thank you. Without your support, prayers, encouragement, and financial gifts to this ministry, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
In 2025 alone through our partnership with the YouVersion Bible app, Living in Truth Ministries reached more than 10,000 individuals from 114 countries.

As we celebrate these milestones with you in mind, we are truly grateful. Grateful to God for allowing us this opportunity to make an impact, and grateful to you for allowing us this opportunity to serve.
So, as we say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026, let’s celebrate the old as we look forward to the new.
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin” (Zechariah 4:10).
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible'” (Matthew 19:26).
“Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him” (Psalm 147:1)!
Happy New Year from all of us at Living in Truth Ministries, and may 2026 be your best year yet!
