| Desc | The apologetics ministry & influence of Christian Thinkers Society (CTS) was never timelier or more urgently needed than during the worst natural disaster in American history: Hurricane Harvey. As emergency evacuees and in the aftermath of the storm, Dr. Jeremiah & Audrey Johnston ministered to the nation by urging faith in God in the midst of adversity and trials. Dr. Johnston, his wife Audrey, and their 5 children (including 13-month old triplets) were emergency evacuated & displaced while Fort Bend County was under mandatory evacuation. It was during this time of trial that they appeared on Fox & Friends, AC 360 Anderson Cooper, Inside Politics with John King, NewsMax, Varney & Co. on Fox Business Network (this list is not exhaustive), and wrote | Desc |

| Desc | numerous Op-Eds for Fox News answering the question "Why Did God Allow Hurricane Harvey?" As a Fox News contributor, Dr. Johnston's Fox News oped: "How am I supposed to get my five children up on the roof?" went viral and his article ended with a request to audaciously trust God citing 2 Corinthians 4:17-18. CTS conducted 20 major apologetics events continuing the unique theme of "Unanswered." The Unanswered tour included major arena events, mega church services, university outreaches, and a major conference in London in partnership with Premier Chrisitan Radio reaching hundreds of pastors and Christian leaders in the United Kingdom. The scale, preparation, prayer support and content creation for these events was | Desc |

Unanswered: Lasting Truth for Trending Questions was released in Korean in partnership with YWAM publishing. Dr. Johnston conducted a major event in his home city of Houston, TX preaching at Houston's First Baptist Church on "Body of Proof: Evidenc for the Bodily Resurrection of Jesus and CTS gave away 5,000 free copies of the Unanswered book to all the families attending the services. These books were used far and wide to help so many Hous- tonians still displaced from Hurricane Harvey which helped them to answer the "Why" questions. [continued on Schedule O] | Desc |
