Every quarter we give our supporters an update on what we are working on behind the scenes.
Correction: This is not an end-of-the-year update. That will come later in December.

In this update, we let you know about where we are in our next study, the growth of our social media platforms, Behold Your God being translated in multiple languages, the Behold Your God: Seeking Him Early resource, and much more.
