FROM THE DESK OF JOHN
Today the world is a whirlwind of activity. As you observe, are there things that bother you, or make you worried? If so, please remember that no matter what happens, in all circumstances God is in charge of all that happens on earth.
Scripture tells us, “From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind. From his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth — he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do” (Psalm 33:13-15).
Most importantly, God has not forgotten you. He asks you to bring your problems and worries to Him. “Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
Further, Jesus is coming back to rapture all believers, and it could be soon. The Apostle Paul said, “We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye... (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
What are Christians supposed to do while we wait for Jesus to come back for us? Jesus said, “...go and make disciples of all the nations...”(Matthew 28:19).
We are doing that by providing Audio Bibles to people who have never heard the gospel and never had a Bible in their own language.Thanks to Ankerberg donors like you, we are now over 19 million people in listening groups in 83 nations listening to the Bible in 253 different languages.
Via television we are reaching a potential viewing audience of 6.85 million viewers in 200 countries and territories around the world.
One woman in St. Petersburg, Russia, wrote: “I’ve always had questions about faith that no one could answer. When I started searching for truth, I felt lost in a sea of conflicting information. But I discovered the John Ankerberg Show, and for the first time, things began to make sense.His discussions on the reliability of the Bible and the meaning of salvation cleared up my doubts. In the middle of the current uncertainty in our country, I found a foundation I can stand on. I’ve given my life to Christ, and I now have peace that no news report can take away.”
Folks, I do not want to stop broadcasting to people like this overseas. But please know that it is only because of your monthly support that we are able to broadcast our programs in these countries.
But perhaps the fastest growing part of our audience are the young people who watch our programs at our website, JAshow.org. Others are watching us on Roku or on our YouTube channel. The new technology is opening many new opportunities to reach people.
Today, I’d like to ask you to pray about joining us in reaching out to people around the world by giving monthly so that the truth of God’s Word might spread to those who are searching for how they can know God personally.
If you want to become a monthly partner or give a donation of any size to our ministry, please call us at 1-800-805-3030. Or you can give your gift online here. We would be honored to have you as a monthly partner and will send you a receipt and a personal thank you.
Finally, this summer, why not take a vacation and join me on a magnificent cruise to Alaska June 28 - July 5? Our adventure begins aboard Holland America’s luxurious Koningsdam, which will take us through the Inside Passage. We’ll go on to see Alaska’s majestic glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and towering snow capped mountains.
Draw close to God and enjoy refreshing times of Bible study and wonderful worship music. You will hear from The Martins, and also Michael O’Brien, former lead singer of NewSong.
Pastor Gary Hamrick, prophecy scholar Jeff Kinley, and I will together lay out prophetic passages to learn what God has planned for our world in the future. You can book your cabin now for our “Prophecy & End Times Cruise” with John Ankerberg and Friends June 28 - July 5, 2025, by going to inspirationtravel.com, or you can call them Monday through Friday at 1-888-600-3370.
Praying for you,
John and Darlene
