WHERE IN THE WORLD IS GBN?Perhaps one of the most frequent questions that I am asked as I travel is “Is GBN available in my area?” To help answer that question, we have designed this newsletter with a full-spread map on the inside so that viewers and supporters can easily see our broadcast areas.

First, GBN can be viewed anywhere in the world where there is Internet access. Simply visit the GBN website located at www.GBNTV.org. The live stream of our channel is available there 24/7, in addition to many other useful resources.

If you prefer to watch GBN on your home television, this can be accomplished anywhere in the world via the use of a Roku box or Roku stick. This device can be purchased for about $50 and will give you 24/7 access to our live channel for free. All you will need is high speed internet in your home. You can learn more about the Roku at roku.com. It is also available for purchase at Walmart, Target, Best Buy and other major retailers.

Secondly, our full channel is available via all iOS devices (iPhones, iPads and iPods), Android devices, Windows Smart phones and tablets and the Kindle Fire. You will simply need to download the GBN app from the app store on your device. The GBN app is, of course, free.

Thirdly, a viewer can receive GBN anywhere in the central United States via a C-band satellite dish. Simply tune into the appropriate coordinates found on our website.

Finally, GBN is available in a growing number of local cable and broadcast markets around the country, as well as several low-powered FM markets. The map inside shows our present coverage areas, as well as those that are coming in the next several months. In 2014 we added 9 new television outlets and received approval from the FCC for 18 radio stations (which will belong to and be overseen by various congregations of the Lord’s church). Our goal is to realize similar or greater growth in 2015. Please pray to this end.

Thanks to each congregation and each individual supporter of GBN who has made this growth possible and allowed us to broadcast the Gospel continuously now for ten years!

Don Blackwell, Executive Director, Gospel Broadcasting Network

NEW PROJECTS FOR 2015We are always seeking to expand our work to strengthen and exhort Christians and to spread the gospel into all of the world. Please allow me to share with you two of our new projects for 2015.

#1 – A DAILY DEVOTIONAL. Beginning in February, GBN will be emailing a daily Spiritual Lift. Each of the daily thoughts has been written by faithful gospel preachers and is designed to be short and spiritually thought provoking. To sign up to receive these daily blasts, simply go to www.gbntv.org/daily and follow the instructions to include your email address, or you can simply email us at dailydevo@gbntv.org, and we’ll get you added. These daily devotional thoughts are also available in booklet form from Sain Publications by phone (931-363-6905) or by email (psain@sainpublications.com).

#2 – DVD SUMMER SERIES. Many congregations do a thirteen week, Wednesday night series that carries them through the summer months. GBN is presently in the process of creating a unique series which we are calling the “Voices From the Past.” Each lesson will feature a beloved gospel preacher who has gone on to his reward. Speakers will include Guy N. Woods, Thomas Warren, Andrew Connally, V.P. Black and others. We are presently reviewing many “vintage” videos, seeking the best audio and video quality possible for this amazing project. Our goal is not merely to keep alive the memory of these great men, but to pass to a new generation a way of communicating truth that was power-fully effective for our parents and grandparents. We are confident that brethren will grow from this rewarding series. The “Voices From the Past” Summer Series will be available by April 2015.
