<p>Happy New Year! I can't believe it is 2014 already!</p>
<p>I want to thank you for your prayers and support as we launched ChurchFinder.com in 2013. The growth in our first year was amazing...</p>
<p><br /><strong>Website Traffic</strong> - we grew an average of 35% per month. For the year, we had 308,000 unique visitors and 1.2 million page views. And with the growth chart looking like a hockey stick, most of that was in the last few months of the year!</p>
<p><strong>Facebook</strong> - 43,000 likes! Check it out... <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ChurchFindercom">www.facebook.com/ChurchFinderc…;
<p>We are truly reaching hundreds of thousands of people - a very successful launch in 2013. A special thank you to many who have helped make 2013 a successful first year - Jennifer, Tim, Mark, Aaron, Dan and Matt - without your hard work and dedication this would not have been possible - thank you!!!</p>
<p>As we start 2014, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">there are many people all around us who are desperately hurting</span>, and who need God in their lives. Many of those people live only a few miles from one of the great Bible-based churches we have in this country - churches where lives are changed, people are made whole, and families are preserved.</p>
<p>Millions of people each month are searching on-line for local churches, and yet there is not much on-line to help them on their journey of finding a church. So <strong>ChurchFinder.com seeks to solve a single question - how can we help people on their journey of finding the right church for them?</strong></p>
<p>In 2014, we are going to continue working hard to grow ChurchFinder.com, including growth in Church Profiles and Church Reviews.</p>
<p>We are excited about the important ministry of Church Finder - helping thousands of people on their journey of finding a new church home! <em><strong>Thank you for your prayers and support! </strong></em></p>
<p><br />Thank you and God bless,</p>
