To spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Programs

3 programs

Turning Point also creates and distributes Biblical study materials. These materials are designed to deepen the user's understanding of God's Word using Dr. Jeremiah's unique gift of applying the Bible to everyday life. The ministry utilizes its broadcasting base, the internet, catalogs, call centers, and direct mail to market and distribute its materials.

Expenses: $9.2M

Along with our traditional radio and television broadcast outreaches, we also utilize the internet and digital/social media to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. Turning Point's internet outreach receives responses from around 175 countries each week. Across all of our broadcast languages, we currently have eight unique mobile apps, five unique ministry websites (along with many microsites), seven dedicated YouTube channels, and five Facebook pages that are all used to deliver the unchanging word of God to our ever-changing world. We also deliver over half a million e-devotionals each day.

Expenses: $6.7M

Turning Point's international radio broadcasts are currently available in Spanish to virtually every Spanish speaking country in the world. Turning Point is also broadcasting in Mandarin in New Zealand, Canada, and the USA. Other nationwide language broadcasts include Igbo across Nigeria and other North African countries, Bahasa across Indonesia, and Hindi throughout India. Turning Point's international television broadcasts are available in English in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, the Caribbean Islands, the Philippines, various Island groups, South Sudan, India, and several African countries through contracted outlets, and worldwide by satellite. TV Broadcasts in Hindi, Punjabi, and Telugu blanket India with coverage; in Mandarin they reach China and most of South East Asia; in Russian they reach not only Russia, but also the Russian diaspora in Israel and the US; in Bahasa they reach most of Indonesia; in Ukrainian they reach Ukraine; and finally in both Arabic and Farsi they reach the Middle East and North Africa. Turning Point underwrites the costs incurred by these program service accomplishments through its normal operation as a ministry outreach campaign.
