From Me to You: February 2024
The SonLife Broadcasting Network is church for untold thousands of people all over the world. I want to say that again because it is true: our television programming literally covers most of the globe. Consequently, even in places that you would not think possible, the programming reaches that area. And lives are changed, souls are saved, people are healed, and people are delivered by the power of God. As stated, SBN is church for untold numbers of people.
NOT UNCOMMON
It is not uncommon for us to receive letters, emails, or phone calls telling us that a loved one just passed away, and how that loved one prayed with us before they died. I’m thinking of a letter that we received just the other day. Her husband was unsaved and dying. But when I prayed the sinner’s prayer, he prayed with me and gave his heart to the Lord. This dear lady said, “Brother Swaggart, if it had not been for SonLife Broadcasting, I don’t think my husband would have been saved when he died. But he prayed with you, and I feel assured that he made things right with the Lord.”
On my programs, anytime and every time the Spirit of God moves, I will pray for people to be saved. There is nothing in the world more important than that. And I’m thankful that the Lordhas given us the means to help viewers who want to get right with God do so.
THE ONLY CHURCH THEY’LL EVER HAVE
We have viewers who live in certain parts of the world where it’s actually against the law to receive gospel programming. Many of these people will risk their lives to hear the gospel, to worship with us, and, as stated, this is their church. How thankful we are that the Lord has given us, and is giving us, the opportunity to minister to these tremendous numbers of individuals. And this I must add and quickly—thank you! Without your ongoing support, this would not be made possible.
A lady wrote the other day and stated, “Brother Swaggart, it’s against the law in our country to listen to gospel programming [she lives in a Muslim country]. But we’re so desperate to hear the Word of God that we listen anyway, praying that they don’t touch us, and would thereby execute us.” How many people in America are that hungry for the gospel?
It’s impossible for us to even think that that was here in the States. But there are certain parts of the world to where it’s against the law for the gospel of Jesus Christ to be preached and taught. But I thank God that the Lord has given us the privilege to make available the greatest story ever told.
Again, I must thank you for making it possible. Without you, we couldn’t do it. But with you, we are able to take the gospel right into the homes of untold hundreds of thousands of people, even millions, and there’s nothing more important than that.
And all of this is happening across the board on our programs. Just the other day, a dear ladycalled during Frances & Friends and stated, “I want to be saved.” Donnie immediately stopped what he was doing and prayed with her as she gave her heart to Christ.
UNTOLD NUMBERS OF SOULS
I must relate the following: I believe that we are on the verge of the greatest move of God,respecting the salvation of souls, that we have ever seen before. I believe the Lord has related this to me. And I believe that many of you feel the same thing. I would urge you to pray for us every day. We’re seeing a lot of people saved now, but nothing like what it is going to be in the very near future.
We need two things of you please: first, we need your prayerful support on a constant basis. In fact, I cannot do without it. And I’m so grateful for your holding us up before the Lord, asking Him to give us guidance and above all, the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Second, we thank you so much for your financial support, without which we could not do what we are doing.
The areas in the world that we go to, where church is a premium—and church is our telecast, our television programming. That’s the only church they’ll ever have. And it’s very, very important to them. We have to pay for the airtime as you well understand, so I need your help on a constant basis with this.
Thank you again and thank God that SBN is going all over the world thanks to you. And again I say thank you.
In the Master’s service, yours,
Sincerely,
Jimmy Swaggart
