Through our Enjoying Everyday Life® television and radio programs, each day Joyce can potentially reach 3 billion people around the world in over 34 languages. In fact, this past year we began broadcasting our program in 4 additional languages—Mongolian, Bosnian, Slovak and Turkish. Our goal is to reach every city, every nation, every day, and our television and radio ministry is helping us achieve that goal.
Reaching the Lost in the Middle East
Al-Hayat is a perfect example. Joyce’s program is dubbed in Arabic and airs on this network 8 times a day throughout the Middle East. So, although we can’t physically go and evangelize this entire region, our broadcasts can reach a large segment of the population.
We recently received a letter from a woman in Syria named Loli. “Joyce, you are so precious to millions of people in the Middle East. I want to thank you for this excellent program, which changed the whole course of my life. Today I am free because of Jesus and the good teaching I received via Joyce Meyer Ministries."
The ability to impact a nation so closed to the Gospel almost seems impossible, even for the twenty-first century. But in reality, our opportunities are only continuing to grow.
Using the Latest Technology
John Pipes, Joyce Meyer Ministries senior broadcast producer, is excited about our future capabilities. “As we expand into more web-based media, the potential to reach more people is so much greater than even 5 years ago. Technology is going to allow us to expand beyond the traditional boundaries we’ve had in the past.”
And we have already seen evidence. In 2007, our Enjoying Everyday Life TV and radio programs were consistently some of iTunes’ top “religion/spirituality” podcasts. Each month these downloadable versions of our broadcasts are going out to thousands of people—many of them teens and young adults—who use the convenience of modern technology to enjoy Joyce’s teachings.
Without question, broadcasting is the most effective means of communicating the Gospel that we have at our disposal.
