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."

Homosexuality And Abortion Are A Threat To National Security



By By Bill Wilson , Daily Jot News Service Senior Analyst

2006-12-15 -- WDC Media News -- WASH—DEC 15—DJNS--Homosexuality and abortion represent as much a clear and present danger to the national security of America as does terrorism. The public immorality of the United States of America is appalling and the nation is fast heading for massive decline. Now, thanks to New Jersey , ten percent of the states have given homosexuals equal or near equal rights to those of married couples. No society in the known history of the world has survived the embracing of homosexuality as mainstream. This plague, combined with the letting of innocent blood by killing America’s pre-born babies, are two highly immoral actions tolerated by Americans that will someday bring this country to its knees. Whenever the same sex marriage issue is brought before the American people for a vote, it is defeated overwhelmingly. Yet states like California , Massachusetts , Vermont , Connecticut , and now New Jersey are controlled by leftist immoral courts and legislators that are willing to ignore the good sense of the majority. Worse yet, the National Education Association, Planned Parenthood, and a host of organizations are promoting homosexuality as normal, and abortion as a preferred option for unplanned pregnancies. America ’s children are being educated by government supported schools and organizations that homosexuality and abortion are good an right. And the mass education program is working. In Maryland , for example, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reports that in 2005 there were 3,681 abortions costing taxpayers some $2.3 million. The reasons for the abortions are alarming. There were three because of possible genetic deformity or abnormality; five because of endangerment to the life or physical health of the mother; two because of rape, sexual offense or incest; and 3,671 abortions due to medical evidence that continuing the pregnancy would represent a threat to the mental health of the mother. Of course, there is no mention of post-abortion mental health problems—which is even a larger issue. Homosexuality and abortion have long term negative impacts on the mental and physical health of this nation. Still, the largest single reason for the spread of AIDS is homosexual men. Killing babies is against the laws of nature. Homosexuality and abortion lead to death—many studies indicate that the average lifespan of the homosexual is far less than heterosexuals. Pre-born babies never get a chance. The collective result is a society embracing immorality and death. “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live.”-- Deuteronomy 30:19
