The potential to reach 500 million!

Thank you for praying with us. Right now we are negotiating with a TV station in India that wants to telecast the first six programs of international TV series. The programs will be dubbed into at least twelve languages and reach millions of Indian homes.

We have also translated test programs into Portuguese, hoping to reach out to all of Brazil. About a week ago, negotiations for Finland and Estonia were finalized.

TV has a tremendous ability to touch people, and the programs that we have produced focus solely on Jesus, signs and wonders.

The potential in India is 500 million people. There are many channels competing for this enormous population, of course. But even if 10 percent of them watched, that is 50 million people. If only 2 percent watched, that’s 10 million people. That’s the same amount as if every single person in Sweden was watching! Which would be fantastic, of course! Who knows what the future might hold!

On my way home from Addis Abeba

I’m waiting in the Addis Abeba airport, on my way home from a fantastic leaders’ conference.

We have had crusades in many places in Ethiopia over the years, and each of these places has requested that we hold a national leaders’ conference. This week pastors from many cities came together. The conference was held in Ambassador Row, and pastors from both the city and the country attended, as well as other leaders, including Ethiopia’s ambassador to Brussels, members of parliament, and Addis’ most well-known and respected lawyer, all mixed together with plenty of others. There were 400 leaders there, and they were all so hungry.

The days started at 10:00 with prayer, and at 11:00 I would start teaching. I continued until 4 in the afternoons with a brief break for lunch. The first day the Holy Spirit changed the subject in the afternoon, and I taught on the presence of God. There was an amazing breakthrough, and by the end of the lesson and the prayer time, everyone was either crying, laughing, shaking or on the ground from the power of God. Many people testified to being healed. It was such a wonderful chaos, the result of the Holy Spirit taking over.

The second day started in the same way. Several times the Holy Spirit came so powerfully that I had to postpone my teaching.

Today I have taught on personal development and from my book “Make Your Money Count.” They don’t have this kind of teaching in Ethiopia.

Next weekend our October conference gets underway in Sölvesborg, Sweden. Paige Juneaus will give a 12 lesson seminar on the Holy Spirit, starting on Friday morning and ending on Saturday at 1 pm. On Saturday afternoon I will teach twice on the theme: “Do less, get more done.” The evening will focus entirely on the presence of the Holy Spirit. Sunday at 11 am and 3 pm, Paige will speak again.

The following weekend I will teach at a conference in Israel. Please pray for that. I will tell you more about it later.

P.S. I have also visited the expanding work that we are doing for orphaned street children, and will post photos next week.

Can someone get healed through TV?

Can someone get healed through TV? Absolutely. Read what happened to one woman when she was watching our program on Kanal 10, the Swedish Christian channel.

“Hi Tommy. You prayed for someone who was depressed. Yesterday I was set free. It was like a little explosion. The “mountain of depression” came tumbling down and the enemy fled seven ways. It is so amazing to experience this healing. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ!”

PTL Global TV is now a reality

We continue toward our goal of reaching the third world – and the entire world – with Jesus-centered TV programs. No commercials, no fund-raising, just Jesus, signs, wonders and miracles for 30 minutes. Each program ends with prayer for the sick and an invitation to salvation.

Next week we will present six programs in Brazil. Estonia and Finland are also in the works. We have an open door in Nepal, and southern India is underway this spring. In Zambia our short films have been broadcast as ads during prime time slots.

Many fantastic people, brothers and sisters in the Lord who give so much of themselves, have made this possible. Jesus is the one opening the doors, and He is the source of this progress!
