A few days ago my colleague, Tom Terry [JFP’s Global Broadcasting Coordinator] shared some early results for our Easter TV and Radio broadcasting. He shared with me what God did; you prayed and God opened doors.
“For Easter 2024, I was asking the Lord for 40 stations and 120 million views. Instead, He gave us 76 stations. That’s the highest number of stations for Easter we’ve ever had. So, I’m expecting large numbers of views…
“Heads up, our next campaign launches on May 1st, which is our campaign for International Children’s Day on June 1st. I’m going to ask the Lord for 20 million views. We will see what happens.”
If we get at least 120 million views for Easter, then we will be on track to get 1 billion views by 2028, which is Josh’s new goal for broadcast for the next few years.”
“I should also mention that our Women’s Day campaign on March 8th netted 21.8 million views in 26 countries, on 17 stations, in 12 languages. I was praying for 20 million. The Lord is answering in excess of all of our prayers.”
Thank you for praying during the past couple of months.
PRAISE:
- Thank God for the open doors for so many more television stations for Easter 2024. Pray for the effective follow-up of those who responded.
- Thank the Lord for those who have already responded to our social media outreach during Ramadan 2024. One young Arab man shared how he had already experienced 3-4 visions prior to seeing our online ad. He click on the ad and began a conversation with one of our staff. He gave his life to Christ in 20 minutes, while talking with the online counselor. Pray for these last few days of Ramadan outreach including “Night of Power” (April 5; Day 27) when many Muslims worldwide stay up, fast and pray all night for Allah [god] to reveal himself, often through dreams and visions. [Ramadan 2023 saw 220 people online pray to receive Christ.]
- One of our key video projects was just completed. It will be used to help invite friends of the ministry to consider the complimentary, professional gift and estate planning services of our Cru Foundation®.
PRAY:
- As I have asked for clarity, wisdom and direction from the Lord in recent months, a verse, Ephesians 1:18 (Message) has affirmed He will guide and answer. Pray as a continue to seek and wait on Him.
- Continue to lift up another important video project, Film Team Equipment (title TBA). It will invite participation in the resourcing church planting efforts in South and Southeast Asia. Pray it will stay on track for a July 3 release.
- I will be in Orlando, FL April 9-16; pray for a productive trip and that I will be able to stay on track with personal and work responsibilities while away.

“I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.*”
