“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” john 14:12 kjv

As I write this newsletter I am on my way, once more, to Jerusalem! Yes, as Matt and I have reported many times on Behind the Scenes and Praise, your Holy Land TV studio is still under full renovation. Soon, Praise the Lord will come to you from the land of the Bible! Ah, but there is more — much more! Rejoice dear partners — we are now one with the “seventy” that Jesus sent out to preach the gospel of the kingdom to “Every city and place, [that] he himself would come” (Luke 10:1). As He sent them, He looked down through the centuries of time and saw YOU and ME! Yes, He has given us the same power and authority. Listen to the rejoicing of the seventy:

“Lord, even the devils [demons] are subject to us through thy name.” Luke 10:17 KJVBut then Jesus lamented that —

“The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few . . .” Luke 10:2 KJVSo, buckle-up. Are you ready for our 21st century

answer to Jesus’ call for more laborers? Continued inside

W OW! I never dreamed forty years ago that Jan and I would pose for a family photo like the one above. And what a night that was — May

28, 2013! We laughed and cried. We remembered some of those mountains high and valleys low. Ah, the memories, the memories!

Dwight and Zonelle Thompson, Jerry and Sandi Barnard, and Arthur Blessitt were just a few who helped us resurrect some of the awesome miracles. Arthur found this jewel — yes, for Moses, but I believe it was meant for us, too:

“The LORD thy God hath blessed thee . . . he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee . . . .” And now get ready to shout a great “AMEN” —

“and thou hast lacked nothing”! Deut. 2:7 KJVYes, praise God, Jan and I are a witness, as I have

proclaimed many times: “God is never early; He is never late; He is always right on time!” Praise the Most High God forever!

Crown of Life Brooch“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” Rev. 2:10b Why not celebrate that glorious day NOW — TODAY? Hallelujah! Have you wondered just what that crown will look like? I surely have. That thought inspired the beautiful crown brooch you see here. I am sure our actual crown in heaven will be much more regal and beautiful, but let this small token remind us and others of what is ahead!

Yes — use this shimmering symbol as a witness to others and bring them into our family. Let them know that simple faith in our Jesus will reserve a crown for them, too!God bless you. Jan and I love you and thank you for forty glorious years of Harvest. Your love gift or Praise-a-Thon pledge will bring our crown to you — a bit early!

Have you ever wondered just how we, 2,000 years later, are supposed to do “and even greater works”? How about a TV station in the city of Jerusalem! Yes, with your six-story studio building located on Giv’at Hananya — the Hill of Grace — combined with satellite, cable, home dishes and the Internet: we have a tv station in the land of the bible! Hallelujah!

Praise God Most High. He knew that these 21st century tools of technology would multiply the laborers by thou-sands of times! Jesus’ prayer has been answered — don’t you see it? Every TV screen is a laborer! But now we must translate programs into the languages of the nations. We are just now finishing up a whole new studio here in California for the Middle East. Dr. Raafat Girgis directs the Arabic network; Reza Safa heads the Farsi network; Igor Nikitin, is the director of the three Russian networks. Chinese sub-titles are being added to Praise the Lord and some of our other progams. Some of our family of programmers are translating with TBN into Spanish, Chinese, French, and German. In several African nations whole new networks are underway, including a Swahili language network.

So, dear partners — rejoice, rejoice, rejoice! Do you see how we are fulfilling

Jesus’ awesome prophecy, “And greater works shall [ye] do” (John 14:12 KJV)? Think of it. Jesus and the seventy only went to the towns and cities of Israel. They did not create networks of foreign languages. Jesus Himself spoke to only a few thousand in His lifetime here on earth. Today the Kingdom is preached to more souls in one hour than in Jesus’ whole earthly ministry! Glory be to God Most High — “Greater Things” indeed! Yes, while we rejoice for forty years of glorious harvest, we have to

And Greater Works…! (Continued from front)

remember that in Jesus’ day there were only an estimated 200 to 400 million souls on planet earth. We are told that today there are seven billion.

So, is your name on the wall of honor in our Jerusalem studio/station? How about your new London studio? We just closed on

Channel 34 in Jackson, Mississippi — one more station! New stu dios are being renovated in Kansas City, Missouri and Moline, Illinois (the station covering the Quad Cities of Davenport/Bettendorf, Iowa and Moline/Rock Island, Illinois). Dear Father — and now there’s a new satellite channel to reach Australia, New Zealand and the whole South Pacific! Tired yet? How about a new Urdu language network for Pakistan? And, let’s not forget the 400 new satellite receiving dishes a month that TBN is sending to India!

WHEW! Now, I am tired! Can Jan and I count on you one more mile — one more time — one more studio, one more station, one more satellite? Jan at 75, me at 79, and we are still going strong!

We love you — together, yes — “Greater Things”!
