WP April Update | WordProAction

A preacher on Sunday morning wonders why only 50 people show up at church, when the night before 20,000 attended the rock concert nearby.. perhaps a matter of perpectives? Of course, comparing ourselves and the success of our endeavors is a very human thing. But the Bible teaches something different. (as you know). Jesus also taught to leave the ninety-nine to go after one lost sheep. This is the introduction to our youtube stats this month: Comparing with famous influencers of this day, could be frustrating. We are like children, in fact, we are in dippers. We do hope to get out of this stage, not for our sake but for the sake of those who actually need to hear the Word of God. We thank you if you are giving it any help (the profit is yours).

But, actually, it has been quite encouraging to see the progress of this endeavor. This month alone we detected 134 new subscribers to the youtube channel and further 30,000 views. A drop in the youtube bucket but we are thankful for every single one of them, because they are getting no less than the pure Word of God. Youtube reports:

We are learning how to do this thing, and so far we do not understand what really triggers viewers. The content? The algorithm? Hard to understand why one clip gets 1600 viewers in less than 24 hours and another gets 20 or 30, sometimes more, sometimes less. There seems to be no rhyme. Anway, it is all there for whenever they decide to see it. Here is one clip that got a little more attention than the others: (no idea why, but it is a great verse in Spanish)

Another one:

Both in Spanish. So, there is a trend here. Spanish clips get more viewers. But then comes this one in Italian, also with above average viewers count:

and this one in Portuguese, with 1200 views in the first 24 hours:

In English you have less viewers, which could could mean the English domain is more saturated thus more diificult for us to get attention? Anyway, here is our English full video for you to enjoy – This is special Easter Páscoa feature filmed the day I crashed the drone:

Other than that, we have rather shy presences in Instagram, Facebook, Twiter and TikTok, but we shall have a closer look at those next month. Facebook gave us this report:

We are obviously some of the most un-professional social media actors out there, but, indeed, when the product is good, it will get there somehow. We are certain doing the best we can, the best we know how. Thank you for your prayers.

The old-style web page is where the millions are and we have to maintain that at any cost. Costs are indeed rising as servers and services increase their prices. The Lord will provide. Here are last months’ stats:

Let us not forget the Apps, another outreach that serves around 40 thousand people who access our audio through IOS and Android applications. Here are just a few comments:

And we leave you with another image from Africa. Friends whom we help to support, holding a Bible study:

Life in Africa seems more simple. Why not? After all, we basically need love and a few other things to be happy.

We thank you for your support and prayers.

Love.
