The ministry of CTS, thanks to our vast online presence, never sleeps. Traffic on all of our sites and channels increased (in some ways, dramatically per our YouTube Channel). In 2020, we crossed over 1,000 subscribers on YouTube, and one of our 2020 videos nearly exceeded 100,000 views! For the first 3 months of 2020 (before the shutdown in mid-March) CTS conducted major live events in California, Kansas and Texas. Unfortunately, due to Covid pandemic, numerous events were canceled in 2020. 2. Dr. Jeremiah Johnston and CTS Apologetics leadership had to work creatively and specifically with host churches and organizations for our apologetics outreach LIVE events; at times government restrictions created significant challenges to the people of God gathering for events. For example, in November 2020, conducting LIVE events in New Jersey required massive social distancing and creative use of spaces to accomodate the guidelines and online vitual participation. In Mon- tana, multiple ballrooms were needed to support the CTS partnership with the Big Sky Worldview Forum's weekend gathering with Dr. Johnston speaking. Much was learned in the way of doing effective ministry during a pandemic, both in-person and online. 3. Dr. Johnston was called upon numerous times to broadcast virtually in churches, conferences, even retirement senior communities, and a secular university campus. For example, the CTS ministry impacted Rice University - through an influential live event in the geological lec- ture hall while also streaming live. Another example, God graced Dr. Johnston to minister hope to a network of retirement homes in Missouri answering questions about fear and Covid, sharing the message of Shalom to our most vulnerable population in broadcasts airing over 3 weeks across the state. 4.
