WE ARE WINNING!WE ARE WINNING!

“I WILL GIVE THEE THANKS IN THE GREAT CONGREGATION:I WILL PRAISE THEE AMONG MUCH PEOPLE”! PSA. 35:18

Praise the Lord! We have known for several years that YOUR TBN network was reaching multitudes

because of the thousands of letters, emails, phone calls, and faxes — but to read the following report in a secular Internet news release made my heart jump for joy! “Pope Benedict’s choice to publicly baptize the

most prominent Muslim in Italy, Egyptian-born Magdi Allam, highlights a quiet worldwide exodus from Islam. In recent years, millions have moved on.”

This new convert to Christianity, Magdi Allam, is the deputy director of “Corriere della Sera,” one of Italy’s oldest secular newspapers! Ah, dear Partners, our investments in the Arabic Healing Channel are paying off! Is all of this the result of TBN? Of course not; but, believe you me, we have had a part! The main reason for this huge exodus from Islam is simply God’s time to visit the Middle East and Africa! Glory be to God Most High! God

is using many ministries, including TBN, to reach right into homes

via the DTH (direct-to-home) satellites.

Formerly forbidden nations that make conversion to Christianity a death sentence, cannot keep the signal out! Praise the Lord! What really sent me almost to heaven was the (secular) report that:

“In every hour 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Every day 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity, and every year 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity.” The astounding fact that an article of this nature would dare to publish such information negative to Islam is overwhelming. The report goes on to say:

(Paul and Jan pictured in Cairo, Egypt). TBN’s Arabic language network, The Healing Channel, is blanketing the entire Middle East with the Gospel of Jesus Christ 24/7!

(Pictured: Matt and Paul taping Behind the Scenes in Jordan). From Jordan to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, and beyond—now is the day of salvation for the precious people of the Middle East!

REACHING THE WORLD — SPRING PRAISE-A-THON

Paul was delighted to have his two sons Mattand Paul Jr. join him in leading the California Praise-a-Thon team in a glorious week of praise, prayer and worship! Dr. Mark Chironna’s Holy Spirit

anointed teaching and exhortation brought our faith to a higher level!

Jan was happy to have grandson Brandon Crouch join her during the Praise-a-thon from TBN’s Atlanta, GA studio.

We “entered into His courts with praise,” right along with Jan and the Atlanta Praise-a-Thon team (pictured left to right: Pastor Steve Munsey, Aaron Crabb, Terah Crabb, Jan, Jessy Dixon, Judy Jacobs Tuttle, and Jason Crabb).

The power of God fi lled the studio as Benny Hinn spoke the word of the Lord into hearts and lives around the world!

Jan introduced several cast members from the Holy Land Experience, including (right to left): Les Cheveldayoff (‘Jesus’), Keith Sinephat (‘Camelot the Camel’), Melissa Vasquez, Larry Ballard, and David Finley. Paul and his Praise-a-Thon guests had a glorious time

of prayer over the thousands of pledges and prayer requests that were received throughout the week.

TBN’s Russian coordinator Pastor Igor Nikitin shared with Paul exciting news of how God is using TBN and Jan’s Smile of a Child children’s network to reach Russia for Jesus!

The power of the Lord came down as the Crabb Family ministered in worship and song.

“Allam’s public baptism came just 10 days after the body of Catholic Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho of Mosul, Iraq was found in a shallow grave after being kidnapped by al-Qaeda February 29. The ceremony [of baptism] came just three days after an al-Qaeda tape threatening the Pope and condemning cartoons of Mohammed. Muslims who convert to other religions are subject to a standing order of death for apostasy. The baptism of Allam is an act of defi ance in the face of Islamic threats.”

Ah, dear Partners — Jan and I cannot begin to tell you how important your partnership is to TBN and this HARVEST that is literally pouring in! Jesus warned us that at the end of this age, “The harvest [would be] great, but the laborers would be few” (Matt. 9:37)! We must keep this great TBN network on at home, but especially in the foreign lands! The prophet Joel’s word is here! “Upon all fl esh,” shall the Holy Spirit be outpoured. Pray as never before that God will use YOU and me and TBN to help fi nish bringing in the fi nal harvest! There is so much more to this news network report.

It will thrill you to read it all on the Internet at: pajamasmedia.com/blog/muslims-leaving-islam-in-droves. Remember, a whole new full power station is coming to Denver, Colorado; new studios are required in several of our home stations; plus the conversion to HDTV on February 17, 2009. Keep us strong at home or the foreign outreaches could suffer and go off the air. One last report to thrill you — “Following decades of terrorist rule, Palestinians are being quietly converted, holding in-home services to avoid detection. Says one evangelist, ‘I’ve been working among these people for thirty years, and I promise you I’ve never seen anything like this’!” Can Jan and I count on you? I know we can! For 35 years you have never let us down! Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Psa. 32:11 We love you more with each passing year!

THE SEARCH FOR THE TWELVE APOSTLES by Dr. William Steuart McBirnie What happened to the men who answered Jesus’ call to follow Him? What kind of impact did they have on the world? Where did they go and what did they do after Jesus’ resurrection? Dr. William Steuart McBirnie offers readers a snapshot of the lives of each of the apostles. Dr. McBirnie compiled his information by traveling to the places where the apostles lived and visited, by studying Scripture and biblical history, by listening to local traditions, and engaging in his own original research. Picking up where the book of Acts leaves off, Dr. McBirnie brings these men to life as he explores the Twelve and others who built the foundation of Christianity. The Search for the Twelve Apostles is an intriguing read for anyone interested in Christianity and its life-changing impact on the world. Your love gift this month of June only will bring this fascinating book to you with our love and thanks. I personally visited the grave and church in Chennai, India built to honor the apostle Thomas—believe me, this book will cause you to love your Bible and your faith much, much more!
