He says he and his team are adopting to the changes and understand safety is the priority.

“We’re reaching more people, you know. Where we would have three thousand people in the building on a Sunday, now were having thirty-thousand people tune in online to watch us every week. What the enemy means for evil, God means for the good. In more ways of just people tuning in, but in multiple ways he’s going to turn this around for the good.”
