 A snippet from the Google report on the KBM website.

At the KBM board meeting today we talked about the fact that we are an online ministry. Since we redesigned our website in March 2008, we have had 303,662 visits from 206 countries. Increasingly we understand that we are not building a ministry in the usual sense of buying land and buildings. Not that we’re against that. We aren’t. We may do that someday.
God has been showing us lately that instead of an organization we are really an online community serving Christians from 206 countries of the world. If you want to find the headquarters of our ministry, then this website is the place. We are less tied to a city and more to the concept of using technology to encourage Christians everywhere to “keep believing in Jesus.” That’s why we can live in Tupelo but our mailing address is in Elmhurst, Illinois.
Because we live on the Internet, we’re open for business 24/7/365. Give us a laptop (or an iPhone) and an Internet connection, and we’re ready to go. That’s why we’re branching out into Facebook and Twitter. We’re almost ready to launch the video portion of our ministry. And soon we’ll have a section of the website in Chinese. We have the infrastructure in place to add Arabic, Russian, Korean and many other languages.
What you see today is just the beginning. But we believe–in fact we’re convinced–that the future of ministry must include the Internet. I would say, “We’re looking to the future,” but, really, the future is already here.
Here are the top ten countries in terms of visits to the KBM website:
1. United States
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom
4. Philippines
5. Australia
6. South Africa
7. Malaysia
8. Singapore
9. India
10. China
