I t’s a new year! At TBN, that means new program-ming, new content, and new opportunities to share the Gospel around the world! What isn’t new is that

our focus remains firmly on Jesus—sharing Him as widely and fully as we can. As a result, there are so many exciting things coming your way.

When God brings us a new opportunity, we go. When we find a new way to share the Gospel, broad-cast in a new language, or utilize new technologies, we seize that opportunity and trust God for all we need to carry it through. We know the stakes are high, literally life and death for so many. We must do all we can to share the Good News with as many people as possible while we can.

The Lord used my mom and dad to put the platform in place. Faithful visionaries I’ve referred to in the past as the “hardware generation” did an amazing job getting the cameras, station licenses, transmitters, and satellites in place. Our mission is to take the next step. We must

effectively use our platform to create and distribute content that makes disciples around the world.

We look to the day when we are broadcasting the message of

Jesus by every means, in every language, everywhere!

It’s a new day for us and for you. It’s now time to fulfill our part in the Great Commission—making disciples of all nations through innovative, top-quality, life- changing content.

As we look forward, will you pray and partner with us to take new ground for the Kingdom? Imagine what could be. What if we were broadcasting not just on our channels, but on new channels and on new technologies?

What if secular networks started picking up our programming? What if our latest movie release was a

Sending the hope and grace of Jesus to the world!

WALKING THROUGH OPEN DOORS IN 2018

A new year is ahead of us, an old year behind us. As we continue to broadcast the Gospel to more than 1 billion households worldwide through our family of networks, we know we could not fulfill God’s vision without partners like you. From the entire TBN team, we want you to know how grateful we are to be on this journey with you. This year, we pray that you experience the peace of God in your circumstances, that you feel the warmth of His favor in your relationships. May the Lord’s blessing fill your life with hope and grace in the months ahead!

A NEW YEAR'S

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24–26).

blockbuster hit at theaters around the country?We look to the day when we are broadcasting the mes-

sage of Jesus by every means, in every language, every-where! We know Jesus has already won the victory. We plan and act from that place of victory He achieved for us. Now as we go to make disciples of all nations, we press forward in faith to advance the Gospel.

JESUS-CENTERED CONTENT IS KEY

As chairman of TBN, I want you to know something. Laurie and I care very deeply about the content we pro-duce. And as an organization, we care about every piece and part of the content we deliver to the nations of the earth. We know we have the platform—the distribution infrastructure—to reveal Jesus to the world.

Now we are committed to creating compelling Christian programming that will unveil the Word of God to the ends of the earth. But we need you to go on our next great adventure with us.

We simply follow Jesus’ model.

How will we do this? We simply follow Jesus’ model. He used stories. He used analogies. He told parables. As He did, we will weave the Gospel into everything we do, whether it is film, script, storytelling, or teaching. Our content will be wrapped up in Jesus and exported around the world!

We will offer the best programming we can to

make disciples of all nations.

NEW 2018 PROGRAMS

We see a holy mandate in Jesus’ commission in Matthew 28:19–20 to go into all the world, preach the Gospel, and make disciples of all the nations. We will offer the best programming we can to make disciples of all nations. I am excited to share with you some new con-tent coming your way.

ONE PRAYER AT A TIME:TBN’s first ministry still thriving after 4 decades

In the early days of TBN—when we were only airing locally in Southern California—we knew there was one thing we could offer any person who was able to receive our broadcast signal. Prayer.

From the very beginning, it was the foundation of our outreach. We didn’t have all the technolog-ical resources we have now, but we had a heart to see people transformed by Christ. That ministry has continued to this day and has flourished to be the cornerstone of everything we do. Now TBN’s Prayer Center Department is a true marvel of spiritual power and impacts millions of people!

As this new year unfolds, we’d like to agree with you in prayer for your best year ever. Call us any-time at 1-888-731-1000. We’re here for you!

Interesting Facts:TBN has 140 Prayer Partners open to receive prayer calls 24/7.

Each year TBN receives 1 million-plus prayer calls.

Upwards of 10,000 people call in to pray the prayer of salvation or rededication every year.

What Others Are Saying:

“My grandson was playing on the swings at school and fell off backwards, landing on his neck. He could not move his legs, and they took him to the hospital by ambulance. I called the TBN prayer line at 12:30pm. The doctors did a CAT scan, and by 2:30pm he walked out of the hospital. Thank you for praying for my family!”

J. Bethea–Florida

Pray in the Spirit at all times with all kinds of prayers, asking for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready and never give up. Always pray for all God’s people. Ephesians 6:18, NCV
