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."

Did Howard Dean Write The Ahmadinejad Letter?



By By Bill Wilson , Daily Jot News Service Senior Analyst

2006-11-30 -- WDC Media News -- WASH—Nov 30—DJNS--The leader of the foremost sponsor of terrorism in the world, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has written a letter to the American people trying to sound reasonable and to coerce American public opinion to essentially reverse course in American foreign policy. If not for Ahmadinejad’s signature on the letter, it could have been signed by any Democratic leader from Nancy Pelosi to Ted Kennedy to Dick Durbin to Charles Schumer. In fact, Ahmadinejad’s letter reads as if it were taken from the Democratic Party’s website. Before I go any further, I want you to know that this is not a political column, it is one that is showing the tangible evidence that one of America’s political parties is in more agreement with the terrorist concept of the world than with those who wish to fight terrorism. Ahmadinejad struck Democratic Party themes throughout his letter. He reviewed the liturgy of criticisms of the Bush Administration—there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; the American people are losing their civil rights in order to fight terrorism; the Bush Administration has concealed the truth and blocks any portrayal of current realities; Palestinian mothers love their children and have a right to their homeland; the support of Israel at the expense of a Palestinian homeland is wrong; the Bush Administration is kidnapping people and holding them without trial; It is time for America to pull out of Iraq—these are just a few of Ahmadinejad’s themes. Now American’s must judge for themselves where their elected politicians stand with regard to terrorism, but virtually the same verbiage is used by the liberals in the United States as is used by those who are the most egregious perpetrators of civil rights violations and terrorism in the world. If this does not demonstrate to the American people that this war on terror is far reaching and that it must be taken seriously, nothing will save this nation from ultimate defeat, save God Himself. Americans and the Western nations must wake up to the fact that if they follow the spineless appeasers of the left, they will eventually be enslaved under the banner of Islam. The United States is at a dire crossroads. The Bush Administration appears to be caving in to a misinformed, ignorant and manipulated public opinion by wavering on the war on terror and backing away from supporting Israel , our only ally in the Middle East . Meantime, the terrorist forces are waging an effective propaganda campaign swallowed hook line and sinker by liberal politicians and the mainstream news media. The terrorists goal is to usher in the peace of Islam to the world, which means enslavement, torture and death to Jews and Christians. “Take heed that no man deceives you.”-- Matthew 24:4
