		+	In November 2025, Grok reported: ""Internet penetration refers to the percentage of a population (typically those aged 6+ or 10+) that uses the internet. As of early 2025, approximately 73% of the world's population—around 6.04 billion people out of 8.25 billion—is online, up from 67.5% (5.52 billion users) in late 2024. This growth is driven by cheaper smartphones, expanding mobile networks (especially 4G/5G), and investments in infrastructure, though challenges like affordability, geography, and digital literacy persist, particularly in rural Africa and parts of Southern Asia where about 2.21 billion people remain offline."

	[[Starlink]] Internet designed by Elon Musk proves to be a gamechanger in enhancing Global Connectivity. In June 2024, Elon Musk announced 100 Countries are already connected via Starlink. <ref>https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1800754578008457687</ref> It is likely only going to be a matter of a few years before the remaining 100 odd countries are as well. Those who want to get their own Websites, Social Media Platforms etc up for Internet Evangelism need to get started now because there won't be much time once the rush begins. It is almost certain now that our generation will see (1) All 8 or 9 or 10 BN online and connected for the first time (2) the Great Commission completed in our time, including by enthusiastic Internet Evangelists.

		+	100 Countries were connected by Starlink in around 5 years. Thus, it is reasonable to estimate the remaining 100 odd countries will be connected in the next 5 years, so that by 2030 - the 2000th Anniversary of Christ beginning to preach! - the entire world will be online for the first time ever! This is a critical moment in the history of the Church, and we dare not fail now. And also an extremely exciting one, because if the Church responds as we should, the possibility of a [[Billion Soul Harvest]] in the next 10 to 15 years is totally possible now.
