TBN's Acquisition Of 'Holy Land Experience' Theme Park Seeks To Change More Lives

June 9, 2007 ORLANDO -- Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), the world's largest religious broadcaster and America's most-watched faith channel, hopes to change more lives through its addition of the "Holy Land Experience" theme park in Orlando, Fl., to the TBN family. Through the acquisition, TBN will bring an integration of the powerful living recreation of ancient Jerusalem with a cutting edge facility that will be used for television production, dramas, musical concerts, special events and movies.

"This marriage will bring an unprecedented synergy to both ministries and the production that is done there will be seen by a worldwide audience. TBN's involvement made sense, because both ministries are about changing and effecting people's lives. We've been doing that for 34 years," said Paul Crouch, Jr., TBN Vice President of Administration. "We believe this opportunity was heaven sent because it bought TBN an Orlando-based facility to fulfill it's local programming obligations for WGTL CH-52 and it will provide "The Holy Land Experience" with much needed promotion to bring more people to the theme park and Orlando as a whole."

The Holy Land Experience could well be considered Orlando's most inspiring destination as visitors experience a full day of discovery that takes them 2,000 years back in time to the world of the Bible. It brings to life ancient Israel as a unique, thriving world filled with fascinating exhibits and venues. Visitors learn about the Wilderness Tabernacle and the Great Temple; discover the amazing history of the Bible; explore the city of Jerusalem in miniature; see re-enactments of Jesus' ministry, His life, death, and resurrection; and feel the power and passion of our original musical productions.

WGTL TV, Channel 52, has a reach of over four million viewers in the Orlando and Cocoa Beach metropolitan areas with TBN's wide range of innovative faith-based programming. In October of 2006, TBN celebrated the inaugural broadcast of WGTL Ch-52 in Orlando with a dedicatory service attended by TBN founders Paul and Jan Crouch, Pastor Benny Hinn, Singer and Preacher Judy Jacobs hosted by Pastor George Cope and Calvary Assembly in Winter Park, Fl.

The combination of the production facilities and the Holy Land Experience offers Orlando visitors a powerful and unique faith based experience that can be promoted worldwide through the TBN network. The promotional capability can drive visitors to the complex.

"Some of the staff was asking what is going to be the immediate effect here at the park and my answer was 'I'm planning on you having more people coming through the turnstiles this summer,'" said Crouch. "Universal Studios does the same thing. We want the 'Holy Land Experience' to be a faith-based version of that."

The Ten Commandments are brought to San Diego!

2006-07-16 -- WDC Media News -- For immediate release (San Diego, CA) -- Bishop George McKinney of St. Stephen Church of God in Christ and Dr. John Ringgold of Bethel Baptist Church will host on Tuesday August 1st. pastors, local community leaders and people of faith who will be signing the Ten Commandments Day proclamation. These leaders will join the Ten Commandments Commission and a host of leaders from around the nation who on May 7.2006 proclaimed the Ten Commandments Day on the first Sunday in the month of May. "This is a day dedicated to the display, awareness, commemoration and celebration of the Decalogue known to be the divine foundation of the Judeo-Christian faith says Ron Wexler, the president of the Ten Commandments Commission". ”The Ten Commandments Commission was formed in the spring of 2005 following the court rulings against the Ten Commandments, along with a host of other disturbing trends that are witnessed daily throughout our culture. These events,” says Bishop McKinney “that are as disturbing now as they were then, clearly demonstrate that our nation is moving away from moral absolutes. The actions of some have threatened the very fabric and foundation of our culture and faith”. “The Public displays of the Ten Commandments and other symbols of our faith have been a powerful visual testimony to the fact that the United States of America is "one nation under God." Their removal from public places show that those with a secular humanist agenda are intent on destroying the moral heritage of our nation while also attempting to make sure future generations do not recognize the major influence the Ten Commandments have had in shaping our laws and freedoms” said Dr. Ringgold. ”With secular humanists waging their attacks at home, and the looming threat from the international radical Islam” says Wexler, “people of faith become the line of defense - this is the "Wall of Jerusalem", and we are the watchman God has placed there. Therefore, those who care about moral values cannot passively sit by and watch the removal of the very principles that made this country great. The Ten Commandments and what they represent are the heart of all moral code and must be defended before they are removed from society altogether. We are a grass root movement led by some of the nation’s largest ministries and men of God. The First Annual Ten Commandments Day was celebrated on Sunday May 7th thousands of churches and synagogues used the day to celebrate the Ten Commandments as pastors and rabbis spoke about their importance in society. We believe” adds Wexler, “that no civilized society or government can exist successfully without the recognition, acceptance, adherence and submission to an absolute authority. We also believe that absolute authority is the source of Moral law and the standard for value judgment. Therefore, the principle of freedom demands the protection of God’s moral law. And the Ten Commandments commission is the response to this challenge and endeavors”. ”This will be a great gathering” said Bishop McKinney and it will provide a unified expression of our national commitment to divine prerogative. And, it will help restore the supremacy of the tenants, precepts and principles contained in and established by the Ten Commandments”.
