2017: An Epic Year in the Making“Over the years, I’ve seen undeniable evidence of how Christian television makes a lifelong difference.”

It’s a new year. A time of fresh, new starts. A time to ramp up your faith to believe God for more than ever

before. Be encouraged, knowing that your TBN family is here, joining our faith with yours. I believe there are truly amazing things on the horizon for you. In fact, I believe that’s the case for all TBN partners. God always rewards faithfulness.

The Four Pillars of TBN’s Christian ProgrammingAs I look forward toward 2017, I’m more persuaded than ever that the vision and mission God has given TBN are

changing the world. We are focused and determined to obey the Lord, follow His leading, and get this life-changing message out to the masses. Our goal is to flood your home with the best spiritual content possible … so your life is impacted with positive change.

In fact, there are four core essentials you’ll experience when you watch TBN regularly:

1. HOPE—God has a great plan for your life. With Him, you’re not alone or lost.

2. GRACE—You don’t have to earn God’s blessings. He loved you first and always, and is ready to pour into you.

3. BLESSING—God wants you to enjoy life now because you are His masterpiece. A lifestyle of gen-erosity is the fullest, most fulfilling life possible.

T R I N I T Y B R O A D C A S T I N G N E T W O R K

4. SPIRIT CONTEMPORARY—And God has equipped you to share His truth with supernatural power, but in a way others can easily under-stand and relate to. He’s given you the tools and the wisdom to be His voice and hands in this world.

This is what we want for you—to experience God’s hope, grace, blessings, and power in practical ways … to know the joy that comes from sharing these amazing gifts with others.

Living Testimonies As we’ve strived to ensure our pro-gramming consistently contains these four “pillars” of encouragement, we’ve received countless confirmations that it’s working. I wish you could see all the amazing testimonies that flow into our offices each week—testimonies of how TBN’s broadcasting has had a life-transforming, lifelong impact on people. Laurie and I hear these stories everywhere we go.

Michael in the UK recently wrote, “You prayed for my wife, who had can-cer, and now it is gone. The doctors and nurses are amazed. Thank you, TBN, and Amen!”

Vivian in South Carolina said, “I was confined to my bedroom, suffering with depression. The medication I was taking wasn’t working. I was thinking of ending my life, when I flipped to TBN on televi-sion. A woman on TBN said, ‘Someone

is about to commit suicide. Don’t you lis-ten to that lying devil. Cry out to God.’ I did. I said, ‘Lord, if You are who You say You are … I need You now.’ Immediately I could feel His presence in the room. There was a war going on in that room for my soul. God won, and I was set free that night. Thank you!”

Ruben in Cal i fornia wrote, “I am an inmate in state prison. I was watching TV and saw a man named T.D. Jakes talking about Jesus. As a result, I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. It feels good to have Jesus in my heart. Thank you, TBN, for helping me to receive Christ.”

These testimonies and countless others are evidence of God’s plan and purpose for Christian television. When you receive HOPE, it can lift you out of despair. When you receive GRACE, you freely receive all of God’s benefits. As you walk in His BLESSINGS, you are a living example of what He can do. And as you share with others in a SPIRIT CONTEMPORARY way, they experience the same!

That’s the reason we fill TBN’s sched-ule with teachers like Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Robert Morris, Leon Fontaine, and so many other outstanding teach-ers. These ministries are changing lives. They’ve changed our lives. And as we partner together to broadcast these encouraging truths, others are being changed each and every day, discovering that they too are God’s masterpieces.

New 2017 ProgrammingAnd we’re not slowing down! In 2017, we have even more great new pro-gramming coming your way. In con-nection to the March theatrical release of the film based upon worldwide phe-nomenon The Shack, we’ve created a multipart series that dives deep into the themes of the book. Also com-ing soon is Drive Thru History: The Book of Acts, where Dave Stotts shares poignant insight into the historical background of the early church. Look for the debut of Robert Morris’ series Frequency, a teaching that has helped Believers everywhere learn how to hear the voice of God, loud and clear. We’ll also have Darren Wilson’s new weekly show Adventures with God, where you can discover the kind of fun God has in store for those who take Him at His Word. More updates and announce-ments will come soon, so stay tuned.

Let’s make 2017 the BEST year ever, together, as we share these truths with the world, unashamedly and without compromise.

Laurie and I love and appreciate you!

I got introduced to marijuana when I was 13 years old. That led to harder drugs like cocaine. Prescription pills. I kept getting worse and worse.

My life spiraled out of control until I didn’t want to live anymore. I found myself in the county detention center as a teenager, broken with no hope.

There were some pretty serious charges on me. They gave me a choice. I could go to prison for 4-6 years, or go to Teen Challenge for a year. So that’s what I did.

That’s where I met my spiritual father—Sal DiBianca—

who got saved 35 years ago while being high on cocaine, watching TBN in his mother’s house. He mentored me and led me to the Lord. Without Christian television … who knows if I would have had the chance to get saved like I did.

I got delivered from drug addiction in a practical way. It wasn’t a lightning bolt. I got discipled. That is an interesting thing when you think about the impact of TBN … from one generation to the next.
