I was amazed at Around the world Hope Channel is rapidly growing as their size and the area they covered.

  • It Is Written
    John Bradshaw, speaker-director. Photo from ItIsWritten.com It is Written GREG HUDSON Greg Hudson, D.Min. (Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan), is the senior pastor of the Georgia-Cumberland Academy church in Calhoun, Georgia. He has worked as a registered nurse, and served as a pastor and academy chaplain in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. It Is Written, a Seventh-day Adventist television ministry founded by George Vandeman, began a weekly broadcast in selected American cities in 1956 and has since extended its reach throughout the world. The first religious television program to broadcast in color, It Is Written has innovated methods of using mass media technologies to augment local evangelism throughout its history. The Emergence of Adventist Television Ministry (1939-1955) The Adventist church became involved in television ministry in 1949, a decade after the televising of the New York World’s Fair in 1939 demonstrated the potential of this new medium.1 After the end of World War II in 1945, as more and more Americans acquired television sets, Adventists saw both its dangers as an immoral influence and its great potential in reaching large numbers of people with the message of Jesus.2 The success demonstrated by the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast, helped prepare Adventists to recognize the evangelistic potential of modern media. R. H. Libby, J. L. Tucker, and W. A. Fagal pioneered the Adventist use of television as a means of evangelism. On the west coast Tucker started airing The Quiet Hour in 1949.3 In November of that same year, R. H. Libby started airing A Faith to Live By in Baltimore, generating much interest and hundreds of Bible studies, despite working with no budget, no music director, and no musicians.4 Soon another program, Heralds of Hope, with evangelist Robert L.

    STAFFORD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION February 10, 2021 The meeting of the Stafford County Planning Commission of Wednesday, February 10, 2021, was called to order at 4:30 PM by Chairman Steven Apicella, in the Board of Supervisors Chambers of the George L. Gordon, Jr., Government Center and at remote locations throughout the County. Mr. Apicella: Before we get started, I have a statement to read. Today’s meeting will be held using a video web conferencing service, even though a quorum of the Planning Commission is present in the Board Chambers today. At this time, the County’s closure has been extended through February 26; however, the County considers the numbers weekly and the state is subject to be updated, at least on these numbers. Residents can still access all County services by phone, online, and in some cases by appointment during this period of closure. Unfortunately, this means that the public cannot attend our meetings in person. I want you to know that this is a situation that we do not take likely. For that reason, we have decided to defer any public hearings that may be deemed as controversial and do not intend to take up those items until in-person comments can begin again. Residents can still submit comments online until the close of business on the day prior to any of our meetings. I assure you, the Commission reads all of these comments and they will be read aloud during the meeting and added to the public record. If you would like to submit comments before the next meeting, please submit them to the email address listed on the Planning Commissions’ website, [email protected].
