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."

Popular Recording Artist and Worship Leader Lindell Cooley Hosts Special Night of Music and Ministry on Trinity Broadcasting Network



2010-01-14 -- WDC Media News -- NASHVILLE — Popular Christian recording artist and worship leader Lindell Cooley will host a very special night of music and ministry Friday, January 15th, at 9:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time) on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), the world’s largest religious network and America’s most watched faith channel.

Broadcast from Nashville, the program will focus on personal and national spiritual restoration, and will feature appearances from contemporary Christian recording artists John Ragsdale, Lenny LeBlanc, Susan Ashton, and Chuck Dennie.

Lindell Cooley first came to prominence in 1995 when a spiritual revival broke out at Brownsville Assembly of God Church in Pensacola, Florida. Cooley had recently become head of the church’s music and worship ministry, and over the next several years, as an estimated five million people visited the church to be part of this profound move of God, they were deeply touched by Cooley’s sensitive and anointed worship. During this time Cooley penned many powerful worship songs, including “I Need You More,” which has been sung in countless churches and gatherings around the world.

Currently the pastor of Grace Church in Nashville, a work he pioneered in 2004, Cooley continues to travel the world ministering through his non-profit organization Music Missions International, a ministry dedicated to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through music, ministry, and missions.

“More than ever before, there is a real need for people all over the world to be touched by the saving, life-transforming power of Jesus Christ,” said Cooley. “And anointed worship music, birthed in the very throne room of heaven, has always been a major way that God touches the hearts of people.”

The special program on TBN will focus on God’s desire to bring spiritual restoration to individuals, families, communities, and nations through the blood of Jesus Christ. “Lindell Cooley’s music and worship has been a powerful force for healing and renewal for many years,” said Susan Zahn, an expert in Christian culture and media. “This special night of music and worship on TBN is sure to be powerful and life-changing for all who tune in.”

The program will air on TBN on Friday, January 15th, at 9:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time), and will be re-broadcast on Monday, January 18th at 4:00pm (CST).
