2026 Mid-Year Update & Appeal
Greg Jones, President
The Lord continues to use the preaching of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones to reach souls across the globe, and the first half of 2026 has been a season of meaningful expansion for this ministry. In the first quarter alone, listeners engaged with more than 1,480,000 sermons across our platforms, and our YouTube channel has now grown to 179,000 subscribers. We have also been able to invest in projects that will extend the reach and accessibility of these sermons for years to come.
As we reach the midpoint of 2026, I wanted to share how the support we receive is bearing fruit and where we are headed in the months ahead.

Here's what your support has made possible in 2026:
🎙 Newly Discovered Sermons
- The Puritan Conference Series — a previously unreleased collection of conference addresses by Dr. Lloyd-Jones is now being released on a monthly schedule throughout 2026. Five recordings have already been remastered and released, with at least twenty more anticipated in the months ahead. These recordings represent some of the most significant additions to the archive in recent years.
🔍 A More Discoverable Library
- A new site-wide search, powered by Algolia, makes the full sermon library faster and far more responsive. Listeners can now locate sermons by title, scripture reference, topic, and series with substantially greater precision.
- A redesigned homepage is in development that will surface new filtering tools, helping both first-time visitors and longtime listeners locate the right sermon at the right moment.
- A dedicated Free Resources page is currently being built to consolidate downloadable materials, study aids, and listening guides in one accessible location.
- Adapting to the AI search era. The way people discover trustworthy theological content is changing rapidly. We have been investing in technical and content work that helps AI-driven search tools accurately surface and represent Dr. Lloyd-Jones's preaching.
📱 Platform & Engagement
- YouTube Shorts are now part of our regular content rhythm, introducing brief excerpts of Dr. Lloyd-Jones's preaching to audiences who may not yet have encountered him.
- Continued mobile app improvements are underway, building on last year's redesign with refinements to navigation, playback, and offline listening.
- Back-end infrastructure upgrades, including API and RSS feed enhancements, ensure that podcast platforms, partner sites, and third-party integrations can reliably distribute these sermons to a wider listening audience.
- Our Spanish-language site, es.mljtrust.org, is approaching 10,000 views over its first year of operation — a meaningful first step in our long-term work to reach Spanish-speaking listeners worldwide.
