On the garden grounds of the Crystal Cathedral, there’s a bronze sculpture of Jesus that raises none of these issues or questions. The sculpture shows Jesus as a baby, a smiling infant, in Mary’s loving arms.

Do I!”MissionOur

A New Chapter…A New Beginning!

Imagine you are running in a race for your life. You have tripped and havefallen behind. It appears as though all is lost. But all of a sudden the refereeblows the whistle and says, “False start! We are going to start the race

over again.” That is what a new beginning feels like! And that is what we are

experiencing at the Crystal Cathedral…a new beginning…we areliberated…free…to run the race before us!

What is the race before us at Crystal Cathedral? It is to proclaim in wordsand works the message, “God loves you and so do I!”

We will do this in the following ways, as we:GROW our international televised ministry, the Hour of Power,

reaching out to include a younger demographic so that this positivemessage of Jesus Christ will live on through generation aftergeneration.

EVOLVE our current televised Hour of Power format sothat it becomes more visible and accessible on the Internetand though other media platforms.

BUILD a humanitarian track that demonstrates tothose with the greatest need that God has not forgottenthem, but He loves them. We’ll accomplish this, in part,through: 1) Launching a Dream Center (Los Angeles)satellite here on our campus—we call it HopeCenter, where people living on the streets, underbridges—men, women, and yes, children— can findhope and begin to dream again! 2) Building anddelivering more houses for homeless families inMexico—six a year. 3) Planting Christian schoolsaround the world in pockets of high illiteracy.

TACKLE cyber bullying through our New Hope Online that is targeted atteens around the world who have lost all hope and are at the point of takingtheir own lives.

We have an exciting race that we are going to run here at CrystalCathedral. And we will complete it with God’s help. Thank you for runningalongside! Thank you for cheering from the sidelines…and from the front lines!Thank you for believing in the message and for helping us to deliver it to God’shurting people around the world!

…we areliberated…free…to run

the racebefore us!”

My husband Russ and I listen every

week—we wouldn’t miss it. You are a

candle of light in the world.
