TBN UK – DECEMBER 2016

“This very day in King David’s hometown a Saviour was born for you. He is Christ the Lord.” — Luke 2:11 (CEV)

Christmas is in full splendour once again across the United Kingdom, with a glorious warmth that fills our hearts as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus. Sadly, for many individuals and families across the UK, Christmas has become little more than a stress-filled season of frenzied festivities and empty gift-giving. Lost is the real reason that Jesus was born that cold and starry night in a rustic Bethlehem stable: to suffer and die on our account as God‘s one and only Son (John 3:16), to rise from the tomb victorious over sin and death, and to reign forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16).

Here at TBN UK we are joining with faithful partners like you to tell the true story of Jesus — a story of hope, forgiveness, healing, and restoration for all who will receive Him as Saviour. Because of the prayers and financial support of individuals like you, today TBN UK is reaching nearly every home throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland with the incomparable message of Jesus‘ love presented clearly 24 hours a day through life-changing Christian programming.

WE LOVED DOING 2016 WITH YOUThe past year has been one of amazing triumphs and victories as you have partnered with us to take the love of Jesus across the UK. We are particularly thrilled to announce that TBN UK is now in relationship with over 5,000 local UK churches! In addition, we also serve as a media partner to nearly every major Christian conference and event throughout the UK.

As for programming, throughout the course of 2016 we produced nearly 1,500 new and original programs in our TBN UK London studios. We have clearly sensed God’s blessing and favour on this network as we go about the task of broadcasting life-changing Christian television throughout the United Kingdom. However, the content you are partnering with us to produce does not just impact the United Kingdom. It is also changing lives across Europe, Africa, and elsewhere throughout the world. We are overwhelmed by how God is using the outreach of TBN UK both nationally and internationally. And you, dear partner, are an integral part in this outreach.

One silent night, A star came to lead the way For shepherds and kingsThe Maker in manger lay The word of his coming was on every hillNow from every corner the song rises stillEvery tribe, every nation and tongue will glorify 

Let all rejoice the king has come Emmanuel our God with usThe light of the world The light of the world 

For unto us a child is born Let all creation join as one United in praise For this is the dayThe King has come 

The champion of peace A saviour for all mankind The Angels rejoiceAs heaven and Earth collideA shout of his glory was on every hillNow from every corner the song rises stillEvery tribe, every nation and tongue will glorify

Let all rejoice the king has come Emmanuel our God with usThe light of the world The light of the world 

For unto us a child is born Let all creation join as one United in praise For this is the day

Let all rejoice the king has come Sing alleluia, sing alleluia Emmanuel our God with us Sing alleluia, sing alleluia 

The King has come.

This year, TBN UK has collaborated with Philippa Hanna to write a song, celebrating the birthday of our Saviour Jesus. We hope it blesses you this Christmas:
