Here’s the link to the Digging Deeper DBRP Facebook group:

I wanted to send a shout out to some very interesting people who listen to the DBRP. For this I have compared the stats for three representative podcasts, with the earliest from February 9. It is not surprising that the vast majority of the DBRP listeners ( 78.8%) are from the United states. The next countries listed are United Kingdom (3.7% which I realize we might break down further), and Canada (3.3%), followed by Singapore. So those countries account for around 85% of the listeners.
Next I will list the countries where it appears we have 3 to 10 listeners— going from a couple of countries that perhaps have 10 to those with fewer listeners:
Italy,
Australia,
South Africa (shout out to Carol),
Republic of Korea,
China,
New Zealand,
Kenya,
Saudi Arabia,
Germany,
United Arab Emirates (shout out to Alexandra),
and a category called ‘Other Regions’.
If you are listening from any of those countries, I’ll have something to say to you after the next listing.
Next are countries where it looks like we have two listeners:
Egypt,
India,
Nicaragua,
Hong Kong,
and France.
And finally, the countries that for the three days I checked we have one lone listener:
Netherlands,
Switzerland,
Finland,
Romania,
Georgia,
Czech Republic,
Taiwan,
Japan,
Indonesia (and I think that must be you, Santosa, Greetings!),
then Thailand,
Nigeria,
Dominican Republic,
Saint Lucia, and
Iraq.
You can see this listing of countries in the episode notes for this podcast. Just imagine how different the lives and situations must be among our listeners! I urge everyone listening to this to use a little sanctified imagination and pray for our listeners who may be very isolated from other believers. If you are a listener from any of those countries that make up 15% of the DBRP listeners, we would love to hear from you. I hope you have registered at Facebook. Please visit the the Digging Deeper DBRP Facebook group linked in the episode notes, then please click to join the group. Once you have been accepted, please tell us a little about yourself. Are you actually from that country or transplanted from somewhere else? Please feel free to give us a prayer request. I realize that some of you may need to be very careful about what you share with us. In that case, you may simply write, “Please pray for me.” We promise to pray for you.
I especially would be interested in you contacting us if your country was not listed. You might be from that ‘Other Regions’ category!
I thought it was interesting to see which US States have only one listener, and this is based on the News Update podcast that was numbered 41. For that episode, so far there have been 473 downloads, and so far there has only been one listener from these 4 states:
South Dakota,
Rhode Island,
Connecticut,
and Hawaii.
But there are the 16 states with zero listeners to that episode:
Alaska,
Maine,
New Hampshire,
Vermont,
Delaware,
Louisiana,
Nebraska,
South Dakota,
North Dakota,
Montana,
Wyoming,
New Mexico,
Utah,
Idaho,
Nevada,
and Oregon.
For anyone in any country, if you are a listener who would identify yourself as one who has just started to follow Christ, or not yet committed to following Christ, please don’t feel hesitant to join the Facebook group. You may not want to share very much. But you could just say, “I’m a new believer,” or, “I’m just testing the waters.” We’ll take it from there and pray for you.
Thanks to those of you who have prayed for me and Gale, our family, and our ministry. I gave prayer requests in the last update which was number 60 LeapDayNews.
To all of you, I praise the Lord that you allow me the privilege of reading God’s Word to you. May the Lord bless you ‘real good’.
