Well we did it with this month’s love gift, the Bethlehem Cross necklace. Look closely at the small stone in the center of the cross.

For certain it is from the city of Bethlehem, so now you have a most unique treasure that combines the birth and the crucifixion of our precious Lord Jesus Christ. Wear it this Christmas season and rejoice as you tell others of Jesus’ glorious birth and His atoning death, but also His triumph over death, hell and the grave! Glory!

Merry Christmas to YOU, our wonderful TBN Family! Thank you for loving, praying for and supporting YOUR TBN.

Paul and Matt taped Behind the Scenes with the new London studio property in the background.

Paul, Matt, and Laurie led the way as the group toured the future headquarters of TBN-Europe.

Special Moments

¼¼ Founding pastor of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, CA Chuck Smith shared some lighter moments with host Dwight Thompson.

¼¼ Comedian, minister and filmmaker John Gray, was delighted to introduce baby John Gray IV to host Jentezen Franklin.

¼¼ Kirk Franklin and his worship team blessed us with their soul-stirring gospel music.

¼¼ Pastor Isaac Pitre from Christ Nations Church shared powerful insights with us from the Word of God.

¼¼ Renowned Christian music artist Jason Crabb and worship team brought the house down on Atlanta Praise.

¼¼ Pastor Keith Craft and host Bil Cornelius discussed the importance of church outreach and developing strong relationships.

¼¼ Pastor Diego Mesa increased our faith as he shared about his glorious victory over cancer.

¼¼ Worship leader and Christian music artist Paul Stephens led us in worship from the Praise set in California.

Pastor Jentezen Franklin welcomed viewers from over 120 nations with a challenging word about holding on to God-given dreams.

Musicians Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp and host Donnie McClurkin shared experiences from their lives and their music.

Internet, the glorious good news of the Gospel floods many nations that would kill us if we tried to preach Jesus inside their borders!

So, Merry, Merry Christmas to the royal family and all of England, Europe and the Moslem world! And, yes, we sincerely say, “God save the Queen,” but with the blessed knowledge that God has, indeed, already saved the Queen! Praise the Lord!

Now the exciting work begins, indeed has already begun. The main studio will resemble to some degree our great New York studio. The European partners are so anxious to see more English and continental programming with audience seating and live parti-cipation! The Arabic programmers look forward to live feeds to the Middle East with live telephone call-ins! So, blessed TBN partners, put TBNE (Trinity Broadcasting of Europe) high on your prayer list. Also, the cost to create three new studios begins! The GOOD NEWS: the building is paid for. Yes, you OWN a piece of London, England. Hallelujah!

God Save The Queen! (Continued from front)

New lights, cameras, action — you name it — are on order. The cost? I do not know for sure, but I promise old fiscal forever Paul is still at the helm! We will stretch your dollars, now, Euros, to the max! Jan is already looking over the sets and décor. Matt and company will help oversee and work with our manager, Richard Fleming and staff.

Glory be to God, as we move on into our 40th year of battle, 20, yes count them, 20 great network VICTORIES!

So Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night — we love you 40 years long and strong! And, as always — Happy Birthday Jesus!

P.S. Hello, London—your new studio is under construction. Get ready for a great dedication service next year!
