I’m so thankful for your faithful prayers and gifts. Your partnership is helping men, women and children in resistant areas, including tumultuous and sometimes war-torn areas like the Middle East, meet Jesus right in their homes.
How? Through television. Let me explain ...
Last Christmas, when “JESUS” was broadcast on several local television stations in Southeast Asia, among the many watching was a young man, Jonah,* a motorbike taxi driver. His days are long and demanding.
Jonah was moved by all he saw and heard in the film—the gospel in his heart language. After the film was over, he saw a phone number with a question asking if he wanted to learn more. So, he immediately sent a text to the local response center, showing genuine interest in the gospel. The center safely connected Jonah with a local believer. Together, they studied the Bible and soon, Jonah came to faith and was discipled.
Today, Jonah is on fire for the gospel. He started sharing his new faith with his friends and family. They, too, responded. In all, 23 people put their faith in Jesus, and eight house churches were planted. Those new believers, in turn, began to reach out to others. Jonah’s passion for sharing the good news was contagious!
And it all started because friends like you gave to broadcast “JESUS” on television, especially in closed nations where missionaries are barred. In fact, many station managers are happy to broadcast “JESUS” because of the positive reports they receive.
Easter will soon be here. It’s a perfect time to broadcast “JESUS.” Many people in closed nations have heard the startling news that Jesus rose from the dead. But because of strong resistance to the gospel, the only safe place for them to learn more is in the privacy of their homes, watching television broadcasts.
With Easter just a few weeks away, would you feel led to help broadcast “JESUS” on television? We're asking God for more than 120 stations worldwide this Easter 2026 and at least 120 million viewers. In faith, staff are asking God for at least $30,000 for this spring's broadcasting outreach.
People Are Ready and Open to the Truth
Please remember that millions of men, women and children are lost in spiritual darkness. Easter is an ideal time to reach them, to explain the cross and His resurrection for them. Would you join in praying for the needed $30,000 so millions more might see and hear God's message of love and forgiveness for them? As they watch and respond, trained workers are ready to follow up with them by phone or text, answer their questions and lead them to Christ. Some seekers are safely connected with believers face to face like Jonah.
Your gift of any amount can reach many families this Easter. And if you are unable to give today, please pray that God will draw viewers to Christ, that they will believe and be born again.
Thank you and God bless you. Happy Easter, He is Risen!
