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." About TBN |

WDC MEDIA NEWS Ten Commandments Commission Urges Members to Help Pass the Constitution Restoration Act To: News Assignment Desk Media Contact: WDC Dave Bohon davebohon@wdcmedia.com 2005-12-22 -- [WDC News Post] -- (Washington) --Few court decisions in history have evoked the angry public responses generated by the Ninth Circuit Newdow decision declaring the Pledge of Allegiance to be unconstitutional and the Alabama decision claiming that the Constitution requires the Ten Commandments to be kept in a closet. In 2005, the Court invalidated private property rights and removed a display of the Ten Commandments from a Kentucky courthouse because of its assumed "religious intent." The Constitution Restoration Act of 2005 (H.R. 1070, S. 520) has been introduced to use the constitutional power of Congress to limit the jurisdiction of federal courts to protect the right of government agencies and officials to acknowledge God. Except for the cases in which the Constitution specifically grants original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court, Congress has complete authority to decide what cases the Supreme Court may hear. The bill provides that any judge who allows such a case to be heard in his court will have committed a breach of the constitutional standard of "good behavior" and will therefore be subject to impeachment or removal by the president. It also bars judges from relying on foreign legal codes in deciding cases. The Ten Commandments Commission is urging its members to ask your Congressman and Senator to support this important legislation. Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-312, today. ###About the Ten Commandments Commission### In response to recent court rulings against the public display of the Ten Commandments and the continual assault of a secular humanist agenda against traditional values, the Ten Commandments Commission has been created to restore and maintain the moral principles of the Judeo-Christian tradition in our nation and society. The objectives of the Ten Commandments Commission are as follows: To restore the supremacy of the tenants, precepts, and principles contained in the Ten Commandments. To provide a global symbol that expresses our submission and commitment to the values found in the Ten Commandments. To create a mechanism by which the Word of God can be restored in every aspect of society peacefully and without violation of the legal system. To give opportunity for identification with millions who adhere to the supreme, universal law of God. At such a time when God is being pushed out of our schools, the sanctity of life is ignored, and the Ten Commandments are thrown out of courtrooms, it is our moral duty and obligation to unite and demonstrate our stand for divine authority. We cannot let those who wish to remove all vestiges of Judeo-Christian morality from our society succeed. History has shown that no civilized society or government can exist successfully without recognition, acceptance, adherence, and submission to an absolute authority. Because of the urgency of this matter, the Ten Commandments Commission is calling on all supporters of traditional values to unite and let their voices be heard. This can be done primarily through the wearing of the Ten Commandments Pin that we have made available and by celebrating the first annual Ten Commandments Sunday that will be held on Sunday February 5, 2006. On this date, we are calling on all churches, synagogues, ministry leaders, Christians, and all who care about traditional values to celebrate Ten Commandments Sunday by hosting local community events in support of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments Commission has assembled a massive coalition of cross cultural interdenominational community leaders, pastors, rabbis, educators, and heads of denominations who are committed to standing up for traditional values. By making our voices heard in support of the Ten Commandments, we believe we will make a major societal impact by restoring God’s eternal moral code to the heart of our nation. Will you join us as we call our nation back to the divine standard upon which it was founded? The Ten Commandments Commission was founded by President/CEO, Ron Wexler.
