“What started as another late night of YouTube video led me to this website. I purposely came for the Sinner’s Prayer. You suggested it in one of the videos I watched.... In the early hours of Sunday morning, I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior.”

-Timothy, Nigeria

“I appreciate you so much for all your continued Christian love, brotherly kindness, and memorable support over the past year. You were encouraging me with all the edifying literature, teachings, and writings based on God’s infallible words. Please do kindly keep your helpful Christian publications, all your John Ankerberg Show teachings, writings, and books coming."

-Matt, Bahrain

“So grateful for all the sermons and programs. Word of God really is needed in our world. Some years ago I watched John’s program on TV about the importance of having Jesus Christ in life. The invitation to give up the old life was so strong that I understood all the sins and turned to Lord. Thank you for the Bread of the Word."

-Marja, Finland

“It’s such a blessing to be able to hear powerful programs in Israel now not only in my native language Russian. I pastor several churches in Israel where not everyone speaks Hebrew so I tell them to watch the programs. The messages have been such a blessing to all of our congregations and many of my friends that I have been witnessing to and praying for many years have come to the Lord after watching the programs. The Ankerberg show is bringing them to church and doing what we couldn’t for many years by coming into their homes on their time and speaking directly to them in a language they understand and can receive. The Lord works wonders through the broadcast. Thank you for this great help to pastors in Israel. I know I’m not the only one thankful for Shalom TV and partners like the Ankerberg show. God bless you and Shalom.”

-Moses, Jerusalem
“I am 18 years old, and I must say after I prayed to Jesus, I felt it was the most I have ever been connected EVER... I have watched the John Ankerberg Show when I was 9 or 10 years old, but when my grandpa died, it led me down a bad path where I had little faith. “I believe Jesus led me back to this show and I am so THANKFUL! Thank you all so much for keeping this show alive and well. I will definitely watch more.”

During the pandemic, Chileans faced isolation from their faith communities as they quarantined at home. To address this, three partners of Faith Comes By Hearing in Chile organized digital Bible study broadcasts, inviting their relatives and friends to participate. Through these online gatherings, the lonely families not only learned more about God's Word but also felt a sense of belonging to a supportive community. The convenience of the internet allowed them to join from anywhere in Chile, ensuring spiritual nourishment for all.

Micro SD Card

Micro SD cards are small memory devices that are loaded with the Word of God translated into the needed language, and provided to a pastor or a Christian worker overseas. When these micro SD cards are inserted into mobile phones, people can hear the Word of God in their own language. Because of their size, it is easy for micro SD cards to be passed from person to person. Several people are often impacted by hearing the Audio Bible that was loaded onto just one micro SD card.
