An online singles Bible study with participation from hundreds of pcg brethren all over the world was hosted from Armstrong Auditorium on Saturday, June 29. Pastor Joel Hilliker delivered the message, with almost 100 singles from the Edmond congregation attending in person. The event included a Bible study with discussion geared directly to singles, and was followed by an online fellowship session.
Users tuned in live on 244 different computers around the globe, with some connections representing dozens of individual viewers. Several online participants e-mailed headquarters to say that they had a group watching it together, including:
- 11 in Southern California
- 10 in Oregon
- 14 in Ohio
- 7 in Toronto
- 6 in South Africa
- 35 in the Philippines
All totaled, that means there were over 400 participants that we know of.
In addition, we logged participants’ comments from various spots around the globe: California, Idaho, Ohio, Georgia, Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee, North Dakota, Florida, Ontario (Canada), Alberta (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), Quebec (Canada), Puerto Rico, Colombia, El Salvador, Trinidad, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
