TV Broadcasts Reaching Lost Souls With The Gospel
An amazing door has been opened for Independent Church in India to present the Word of God and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to multitudes of unreached people! Over four months ago, ICII started broadcasting their Video Bible on a cable channel in their own area, on which there was no Christian programming. Starting in June, this same network expanded its coverage to a wider area, to reach viewers at a further distance. Since they do not have enough paid programming yet, they have offered ICII to play our Video Bible every day from 7:00 to 7:30 AM for a very low cost.
This is an incredible opportunity to reach tens of thousands of people for such a cheap rate. ICII has also been broadcasting the Video Bible on three other different cable stations. These are being shown twice weekly on each station, which totals another six times per week. Now there are fifteen 30 minute broadcasts per week! Two of these newer networks have the potential to reach up to five million viewers with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ! Here in the US, we are saturated with Christian TV, but in India, it is very uncommon to ever hear the Word of God and the message of salvation. People who cannot read can hear God’s word for the very first time through their TVs. Families who live in remote villages have been receiving free TVs from the Indian government for political reasons.
This opens the door for more and more souls to hear God’s Word. During each broadcast, we are showing our Tamil-language “Word for Word Video Bible” videos of John and Romans, and our Gospel tract, “Jesus Christ: The Risen Lord”, in half-hour segments. Each half-hour will cover at least three chapters of the Bible with the Gospel message at the end of each show. A running banner at the bottom of the screen gives our contact information to those who want to learn more about Jesus. We also offer a free New Testament Bible to whoever calls to request one. So far, since these TV broadcasts have started, some 3000 New Testament Bibles have been given out to those who asked for them.
The beautiful scenery, animals, sea life, parks, and more from the USA will catch the viewers eye and is attracting those who are living in darkness to watch and hear the Word of God, which is leading many who are lost to repentance!
Since this broadcasting started over six months ago, we have been getting thousands of phone calls from people who testify that they have received Jesus Christ as their Savior through the broadcasts, and how their new faith in Christ has changed their lives!
ICII wants to broadcast these Bible Videos on many more stations so masses of souls lost in
darkness can be saved and their lives can be transformed by the power of the Gospel message
of Jesus Christ! We want to air on other stations that have the potential to reach up to
4 to 5 million viewers in Tamil Nadu. This is a grand opportunity, and we must proceed while the
doors are open. Please pray that the door will stay open for this exciting way to share God’s
Word with masses of souls.
