Oh, partners, Bible history is in the making! Yes, you and I, in fact all of us that love Jerusalem

and TBN, can have a part in seeing this prophecy of Isaiah come to pass! The glorious news — I can’t hold it any longer – our TBN partners in Russia have led the way in establishing a full TV production studio in the Old City of Jerusalem! Igor Nikitin, our station and network manager in Russia, has secured Israeli authority for this TV studio, but wonder of wonders, also the authority to secure a full 24/7 cable channel into virtually all the homes in Israel! Because we will be producing local programs in Israel we will have, in effect, a local TV station in Israel! Dear partners, this is a miracle breakthrough that we have worked and prayed for since 1975, when Jan and I took our first TBN tour to Israel. You old-timers will remember my many reports as I met with most of the prime ministers starting with Menachem Begin, who truly wanted to give us a TV station but was blocked by many opposing forces in the religious parties. But, now, with over 25% of Israel’s

O JERUSALEM!“O JERUSALEM, I HAVE SET INTERCESSORS ON YOUR WALLS… TAKE NO REST, ALL YOU WHO PRAY, AND GIVE GOD NO REST

UNTIL HE ESTABLISHES JERUSALEM AND MAKES HER RESPECTED AND ADMIRED THROUGHOUT THE [WHOLE] EARTH.” ISA. 62:6-7 TLB

population comprised of Russian Jews — immigrants from Russia — the tide has turned and the door is open to a full channel with Russian and English language programs. But here is the even greater miracle: we will be allowed to insert Hebrew subtitles on some of the Russian programming! Yes, dear partners, read and rejoice — “Because I love Zion, because my heart yearns

for Jerusalem, I will not cease to pray for her or to cry out to God on her behalf until she shines forth in his righteousness and is glorious in his salvation.” Isa. 62:1 TLB

We must pray and intercede for our partner, Igor Nikitin, who truly has led the way for this glorious breakthrough. He is a bishop with over 1,000 churches cooperating in Russia, but also in 21 countries around the world. They have contributed the funds for this TV studio and have begun to produce some of the local Israeli programs. Our TBN satellite, Hotbird 8, has been on for several years and reaches the small dishes in remote areas that cable cannot reach. So, between the two, Israel is truly covered! Praise the Lord! Here is where TBN USA comes in. Many of you know and remember that we purchased a large TBN

studio building in St. Petersburg. From this studio and office building, TBN-Russia has mushroomed into a true TV network covering the eleven time zones of mother Russia! We also helped place TV dishes in virtually all the prisons of Russia. Now, Jan’s Smile of a Child network is being placed in the orphanages of Russia. How strange that in a country, which for years was our enemy, there is now more religious liberty than what we have here at home. It’s permitted to pass out Bibles to schools and children in Russia — but try that in Washington, D.C.! Here is what I have committed to the Israel TV project: a monthly contract for the 24/7 TV cable channel reaching the homes of Israel. I have spoken about this on several of our Behind the Scenes programs. Many of you have enthusiastically responded. Thank you! How God will surely bless you for this historic fulfillment of Bible prophecy. We are well on the way, but still need more pledges and gifts. I know we can count on all of you, our TBN partners. Fulfilled Bible prophecy? Oh, yes! God knew us two thousand years ago. He knew that we would be a part of blessing His covenant people, the Jews: “Never again shall you be called ‘The God-

forsaken Land’…. Your new name will be ‘The Land of God’s Delight’ and [‘Beulah Land’] or

OUR LOVE GIFT TO YOU FOR JUNE:

This unique cross was the mark of the Crusaders who drove worshippers of false gods and false religions out of the Holy Land. They established the Christian-ruled Kingdom of Jerusalem, which also governed the Holy Land from 1099-1291 A.D. Sadly, the Moslem Turks and others claimed the land once again for Mohammed. Because of its awesome history, this beautiful cross was also referred to as the JERUSALEM CROSS. The gold toned cross pendant is accented with sparkling crystals and comes with a unique silver toned necklace. Wear it proudly to tell others about our new TV production studio in the Old City of Jerusalem, where local programs in Russian and English, with some Hebrew subtitles, are being produced by Messianic Jews! Pray for this new outreach to Israel and the world by satellite! Your love gift this June only will bring this beautiful Jerusalem Cross to you with our love, and it will hasten this glorious witness to the Land of Israel.

‘The Bride’ [of Christ].” Isa. 62:4 TLB/KJV And let’s not forget my dear nephew Rick Ridings who, for several years, has kept a prayer vigil ministry in Israel. He and his companions continue with a 24/7 prayer chain for the peace of Jerusalem on Mount Zion near the Western or Wailing Wall. We have the joy of helping with a monthly love gift for this effort, also a prophetic fulfillment as they literally — “Give him [God] no rest…till he make Jerusalem

a praise in [all] the earth.” Isa. 62:7 KJV We rejoiced last month as we celebrated TBN’s 38th anniversary. Yes, on May 28, 1973, that first little flickering TV picture flashed ON THE AIR! I guess I should have said it whimpered on the air! But from acorns, mighty oaks do grow! Thanks to you, our blessed TBN partners, this great Voice now thunders from 77 mighty satellites and over 20,000 affiliated TV stations, cables and countless little dishes around the world — and this year FROM JERUSALEM! Jan and I love you now 38 years long and strong!

In appreciation of TBN, many banners like these were hung on walls and walkways throughout Jerusalem. Who would have dreamed the day would come that TBN-Russia and TBN would be welcomed to the Old City of Jerusalem and all of Israel?
