January 4, 2007 (Los Angeles, CA)-- With catchy phrases like “PR with a Higher Purpose” and “Kingdom Impact in the 21st Century,” it’s not surprising that what was once a virtual impossibility for those with religious content is now a genuine reality—impacting the mainstream media with value-based messages from faith-based organizations, businesses and ministry leaders.
At the forefront of this media-rich-turnaround is the nation’s fastest growing public relations firm, “WDC Media,” a Christian media firm specializing in dynamic news crossovers. Although now a thriving force in the media world, the road to success did not come easy for WDC Media.
“Convincing religious leaders about crossing their message over as news was a real challenge when the agency was first founded in 2003,” says Susan Zahn, President/CEO of WDC Media. “I walked by faith and not by sight.”
Faith appears to a have paid off for Zahn in a big way… WDC's client roaster includes, Trinity Broadcasting Network, founded by Paul and Jan Crouch; First amendment attorney and media personality, Jay Sekulow, host of Jay Sekulow Live and ACLJ This Week; popular life-coach, TV host (Paula White Today), turned author Pastor Paula White (co-pastor of Without Walls International Church) and the worlds largest interactive Christian website "LivePrayer.com" and its spin-off syndicated TV show "Live Prayer with Bill Keller"--to name but a few.
The firm is also associated with a dozen inspirational films, including: “One Night With The King”, “I Flunked Sunday School”, “Hidden Secrets”, “Six: The Mark Unleashed”, "Home Beyond the Sun" and “STING: Moment of Truth” (complete list at www.wdcmedia.com).
“WDC understands the importance of knowing how to talk to the media and the general public,” says Zahn “Our team identifies media-opportunities for our clients and frames each item as a news story which results in positive media coverage. We don't sit-around and wait for news to happen, we drive a story out there and create news streams where none existed before."
Krystal Collazo, a senior publicist with WDC, says, "Our firms core mission is to spread the message of God's love using a positive Christian public and media relations model. We are successfully impacting the media for the glory of God through our clients."
In addition to Zahn and Collazo, WDC's key telecommuter staff includes two other publicists, several professional writers, a senior editor, an online news syndication manager and support staff (PR assistants). WDC Media is also unique in that professionalism, faith and technology are mixed to launch powerful outcomes for clients.
“We utilizes cutting edge technology to manage our clients cases in real time through our interactive online office and state of the art distributing technology to drive out our clients important news, 24/7,” says Zahn. "How WDC has evolved is nothing short of supernatural. "It has God's hand-print written all over it. We are a channel that the Holy Spirit is raising up in these last days to reach the lost through mediums they can relate to—News, TV, Motion Pictures, Books and Music. It’s about His Glory, not ours.”

2012-02-02 -- Many people are living in defeat and misery because they do not understand why, even though they have given their lives to Christ, and know that they are saved, there is still a part in them that still desires to do wrong. This confuses them.
What is going on? The flesh is lusting against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. Even the Apostle Paul spoke of his personal battle with the flesh. And he also gave us the strategy for how to bring the body under subjection and make it obey the will of God.
If you desire to know how to present your body as a living sacrifice to God, renewing your mind, and embracing holiness in the fear of the Lord, then True Spirituality is the book for you.

2011-05-26 -- As one of America’s new breed of end-times prophetic voices, Deborah Nazemi, Author of "RED ALERT – America’s Last Stand", examines why so many people braced for the rapture, as promised by Family Radio’s Harold Camping on May 21st, 2011. Hoping for an easy way out, they were massively disappointed when the day came and went, their wish unfulfilled. Attempts at date setting are not new, such as Whisenant’s prediction in his book ‘88 Reasons Why the Rapture will be in 1988’, whose deceptions made for a disappointing day for those who grasped tightly to its promise. “With Camping’s adjustment of his rapture prophecy that October 21st will be the Day of Judgment, what needs to be explored is the sense of escapism among some believers that leaves them vulnerable to these types of deceptions" says Nazemi.

 2011-05-14 -- Harold Camping Reports -- God has given sooo much information in the Bible about this, and so many proofs, and so many signs, that we know it is absolutely going to happen without any question at all. There’s nothing in the Bible that God has ever prophesied — there’s many things that he prophesied would happen and they always have happened — but there’s nothing in the Bible that holds a candle to the amount of information to this tremendous truth of the end of the world. I would be absolutely in rebellion against God if I thought anything other than it is absolutely going to happen without any question more... |

 2011-05-14 -- n May 21, "starting in the Pacific Rim at around the 6 p.m. local time hour, in each time zone, there will be a great earthquake, such as has never been in the history of the Earth," he says. The true Christian believers — he hopes he's one of them — will be "raptured": They'll fly upward to heaven. And for the rest? "It's just the horror of horror stories," he says, "and on top of all that, there's no more salvation at that point. And then the Bible says it will be 153 days later that the entire universe and planet Earth will be destroyed forever."
Most Bible scholars note that even Jesus said he had no idea when Judgment Day would come. But May 21 believers like Haubert are unfazed. more... |
