Where did we go? - We are still here!!

It has definitely been an interesting summer!

With the field rep program, we were able to meet with multiple congregations in many states including Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, Mississippi, as well as make new acquaintance via phone and email with several others.

Exciting news has been the crux of the summer for us. We have launched over a half a dozen new local markets including Houston, Dallas, Orlando, Albany GA, Columbus, Chattanooga, Biloxi, Beckley/Bluefield, Birmingham, and more! We aren’t finished just yet either!

As has been mentioned, this past Sunday was sort of a sad day for us as well. August 29th was our last airing on the former WGN (now NewsNation) due to multiple changes in the platform and the audience they hold. We launched several weeks prior on FETV on Sunday mornings and we have gotten so much great feedback from this network, that we still believe this was the right decision in order to continue our road map of growth and sustainability through 2021 and beyond. So, yes…we will miss WGN…but we absolutely love the response we have been getting from FETV. You can find what channels FETV are on at www.FETV.TV under the channel finder, or visit our website and click on “Broadcasts” to see a list of those as well as all of the local markets we are now in.

GUAM! Wade Phillips visited with me a few months back and we discussed his missionary work in the area of Guam. He was scheduled to take a trip this summer…and did. Prior to his trip, he came by our office and packed up several DVDs and we discussed how great it would be to have a broadcast there. Well…after he did some leg work, and we did some negotiating, we are now on CBS on Sunday afternoons in Guam! Special thanks to Wade and Joanna for their diligence in getting this going, publicizing it, as well as helping find individuals and congregations that would sponsor and support this new effort.

With the launch of several new markets, congregations have asked about our “church finder” site as well as how to be a “sponsoring congregation” that has their name on the program. We invite your congregations’ leadership to reach out to talk with us about some of the things we are doing to get your information in front of lots of people. We would be glad to discuss it more. Just give us a call or email me at joey@thegospelofchrist.com for more information.

Our website has been very active this year. We have reached all new records on both the site, number of visitors, and on our app. This is a great time to have a digital evangelism opportunity with your community and we would be glad to help with some ideas for you.

Finally, I personally want to thank you for all of your encouragement, prayers and support of the program. I recently celebrated my 4th anniversary with the program and it has been an incredible journey in ministry that I never imagined would be what it is. I know I speak for all of us when I say “thank you” for caring about people’s souls and working alongside this wonderful program to do what we can to Take the Whole Gospel to the Whole World!
