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 to unlock that “something greater” is prayer. Every great move of God was built on the foundation of prayer. The prayers of “Norma’s Super Seven” were instrumental in starting this ministry. Now, the prayers of the newly-formed Norma’s 700 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 prayer line 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 needs of the station. And, once a month, you will receive a phone call or email from Norma with praise reports and new prayer requests. At the Ministry Center, we are thankful for the opportunity to pray with you!

This summer we are working hard to create and acquire new programs that connect viewers to the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit and the life-changing truth of His Word. We need your help to expand this ministry as God opens new doors of opportunity for His work. Just as the Apostle Paul asked the church at Colosse to join him, I ask you to do the 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 the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; 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 many have been committed for years. I recently watched a video of CTVN founder Russ Bixler making a commitment to his partners, and I feel led to share that covenant with all of you.

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!

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.

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.
