These are the Bob Jones University computer science interns that worked with us last semester. We’re grateful to be working with some of the best and brightest technical minds, harnessing their skills to make a difference. God gives gifts to His people to be used for His kingdom.

"It exceeded my expectations."
— Guest
The Foundations Tour of Scotland was a very special tour. The private dinners were exquisite. Thomas Boston's church was memorable. And we all loved Jimmy, our very Scottish guide!
Our plan is to continue these tours into 2027 but with different ministers from broadcasting churches on SA serving as the host of the tour. It will also include an evening where we will enjoy a few episodes from The Holy War Series in our own private theater. The friendship with Macdonald Hotels & Resorts makes these special dinners, breakfasts, and film events possible. There's nothing quite like it!

Perhaps the biggest 2.5 weeks ever. Met lots of people. Launched The Vault UK. Conducted our first Tour of Scotland. Spoke at Lurgan, Larne, Martyrs, and Dromore. Told our story. Gave God glory. It’s nice to be home.

We officially opened The Vault UK today! Thankful for the support and partnership of Let The Bible Speak in this historic occasion. It’s only the beginning however as we need now to take the next step to FILL THE RACKS.

I'm writing this note while waiting for our flight to the UK, where we hope to establish our fourth Vault site, this time in the UK. I'm traveling with two young men who will be doing much of the heavy lifting, and our Chief Architect will be joining us a bit later.

CANADA IS BACK.
We lost connectivity to our Vault in Canada for 24 hours due to a failed SFP to RJ45 transceiver. After spending time hunting down and isolating the problem, we replaced it with a spare we (thankfully) already had on-site and everything came back up!

Major electrical work happening all day today to upgrade our voracious power needs at The Vault HQ. It’s a big job involving replacing all existing wiring to a higher gauge. We’re going to do our best to keep disruptions to a minimum.
