"We are very pleased to bring TBN to our customers who are looking for unique, faith-based programs."
Local church leaders are excited about TBN being available in Wichita and the positive impact of the programming on their congregations and community. "We have been praying that the Word of God would have free course and full exposure in Wichita”, says Pastor Jerry Burlie, Senior Pastor, Triumphant Faith Center,” TBN is part of the answer to that prayer because it will expose many, many people to the Word of God."
"During these very troubling times Christians must increase their efforts to spread the good news about Jesus Christ.''' I'm thrilled that TBN's 24 hour Christian programming has been added to Cox Cable's menu, states Joe Wright, Senior Pastor, Central Christian Church, “Together, we now have the opportunity to partner with many national television ministries to better reach this community for Christ. Watch and be blessed on digital station number 217!"
As America faces a moral crisis that is crossing all denominational lines, Rob Rotola, Senior Pastor of Word of Life Church, had this to say; "Freedom of religion and access to information is becoming a reality worldwide as repressive terrorist regimes are removed and democracy emerges. TBN is prepared to get information about God's grace to the masses. TBN must be strongly supported in America to enable the ministry to move quickly in reaching billions who have not heard."
"Christians need guidance and encouragement in the middle of a cultural war that is occurring in America” declares Rev. Terry Fox, Senior Pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church, “Christian Broadcasting provides this much needed ministry. I hope that people will tune in and be encouraged with the ministry of TBN."
“TBN is home to tens of millions of Americans seeking a quality television experience,” states Bob Higley, Vice President of TBN Cable and Satellite Relations. “TBN seeks to do more than merely entertain.
