The 4 minutes that
changed everything!
August 2018
An Amazing Fact: The first American television station began
broadcasting 90 years ago on July 2, 1928. After World War II,
television became so popular that by 1948, more than a million
U.S. homes had one. But today, 99 percent of households have at
least one TV—and 66 percent have at least three!
Dear friend,
Four minutes! That’s all it took to change two lives for all eternity. Ronnie and her
husband Steve had been rushing to pack up and leave after having been on vacation—
when she caught an Amazing Facts program playing on the TV in their hotel room.
It wasn’t an accident. It was Providence, because your gifts bring God’s lifesaving
truth to over 750,000 searching souls, just like Steve and Ronnie, every week on
television, whether its cable or over-the-air broadcasts. No other media reaches the
masses for Jesus Christ like that—and this number doesn’t even include Internet and
satellite viewers!
But without your gifts, the eternal Bible truths sent through the airwaves would
diminish and the number of lives changed around the world would decline. It’s only
through your generous giving that nearly 40 million people annually watch Amazing
Facts programs, learning God’s truth and finding real, lasting hope for their future!
While Amazing Facts debuted on radio in 1965, the bulk of our budget today is spent
on television. Our broadcasts are aired on the most effective networks across the nation
and the world—including Lifetime, TBN, Inspiration, Daystar, WWOR-NY in New York,
3ABN, Hope Channel, and many others!
And sometimes, just four minutes of the programs you help broadcast make all the
difference. Let me tell you more about Ronnie and Steve…
Four Minutes of Powerful Truth
As a Catholic, Ronnie was raised to pray to Mary, but she always had nagging
questions about the faith of her childhood. You see, she was struggling to harmonize her
church’s beliefs with what the Bible actually says. Of course, there are millions more like
her struggling today.
