Transcript of JULY 2013 SIGNAL - Cornerstone TeleVision Network · JamesPayne, Judy Jacobs, Mike Murdock, and...
Something Good Happens When We Pray!Years ago, Bill Gaither wrote an upbeat song entitled, “I Just Feel Like
Something Good Is About To Happen.” The key line says, “I just feel like something good is on its way.”Something good is happening at Cornerstone TeleVision, and something greater is on its way! The key tounlock that “something greater” is prayer.
Every great move of God was built on the foundation of prayer. The prayers of “Norma’s SuperSeven” were instrumental in starting this ministry. Now, the prayers of the newly-formed Norma’s700 Prayer Team will lead us into the future.
If you haven’t signed up yet, we invite you to become a part of Norma’s 700. Just call the prayerline at 888-665-4483, and tell a Prayer Partner you want to be a part of Norma’s 700 Prayer Team.When you join, you will receive a welcome letter from Norma asking you to pray daily for the needsof the station. And, once a month, you will receive a phone call or email from Norma with praisereports and new prayer requests.
At the Ministry Center, we are thankful for the opportunity to pray with you! Welcome to the team!

God is leading Cornerstone TeleVisioninto some amazing new ministry opportunities! Thissummer we are working hard to create and acquirenew programs that connect viewers to the miraculouspower of the Holy Spirit and the life-changing truthof His Word. We need your help to expand this ministry as God opens new doors of opportunityfor His work. Just as the Apostle Paul asked the church at Colosse to join him, I ask you to dothe same for Cornerstone TeleVision.
“Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for theword, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also beenimprisoned; that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak.” -Colossians 4:2-4
My friends, you are our partners in ministry. Some of you have recently joined, but manyhave been committed for years. I recently watched a video of CTVN founder Russ Bixler makinga commitment to his partners, and I feel led to share that covenant with all of you. I have updatedit, and want you to know that I make the same promise to you, our partner.

Colossians 4:2-3
GIFTS FROM THE HEART
I n Chapter 43, Verse 19, Isaiah was
clearly prophesying about the coming Redeemer of Israel.
But the scripture above keeps coming to my mind as I reflect
on this new season at Cornerstone TeleVision. So many
of you who are reading this newsletter provided the prayers
and gifts that built the TV
station. Through your
help and the faithfulness
of our leaders, Cornerstone
TeleVision grew from the
humble trailers that once
housed its offices and
a functional micro-studio
(complete with phone lines for prayer calls)! Over the years,
God has truly made “roads in the wilderness” and “rivers in
the desert” for Cornerstone TeleVision!
Aren’t we all grateful that God has always
provided leaders who love the Lord with
all their hearts, who believe the Bible is the
Holy Spirit-inspired Word of God, and who
live out their faith daily? From the start,
Norma and Russ Bixler (founders) were
faithful to the call of God. Later, Oleen
Eagle and Ron Hembree (past presidents)
built on the scriptural foundation. They
never wavered in their commitment to share the Gospel
via television— and then the Internet.
We are seeing those same characteristics in our current
leader, Don Black, and I hope many of you will take
advantage of the opportunities to meet him personally
in the days ahead. Don is genuine in his desire to meet
you, and he is praying with you that God will continue
the work He started here at CTVN.
The world is different from what it was when CTVN
went on the air in 1979. As we press forward, we need
God to make a road in the wilderness of new technology.
We also need rivers of the living water to flow into the
desert culture that we live in! For two hundred years,
missionaries have gone from the United States to countries
around the world, while the devil was quietly sowing
seeds of destruction right here within our own homes,
schools, and government.
Now, more than ever, Cornerstone TeleVision needs to
be a voice and visual for Christ, preaching and teaching
in the power of the Holy Spirit. Come along my friends;
there are exciting days ahead, and we need you!
Thank you for your faithfulness in giving to the Lord
through CTVN!
Nancy AumanDirector of Development
B ehold, I will do a new thing,now it shall spring forth;Shall you not know it?I will even make a road
in the wildernessand rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19

In the 200 years since Francis Scott Keyfirst wrote the words that became our
national anthem, the lyrics have inspiredmillions. The hope and joy expressed inthe national anthem are so moving that
more than five million people signedpetitions for its official adoption. Within
those words is an expression of aChristian's faith and gratitude
for deliverance.
