TBN's Acquisition Of 'Holy Land Experience' Theme Park Seeks To Change More Lives

June 9, 2007 ORLANDO -- Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), the world's largest religious broadcaster and America's most-watched faith channel, hopes to change more lives through its addition of the "Holy Land Experience" theme park in Orlando, Fl., to the TBN family. Through the acquisition, TBN will bring an integration of the powerful living recreation of ancient Jerusalem with a cutting edge facility that will be used for television production, dramas, musical concerts, special events and movies.

"This marriage will bring an unprecedented synergy to both ministries and the production that is done there will be seen by a worldwide audience. TBN's involvement made sense, because both ministries are about changing and effecting people's lives. We've been doing that for 34 years," said Paul Crouch, Jr., TBN Vice President of Administration. "We believe this opportunity was heaven sent because it bought TBN an Orlando-based facility to fulfill it's local programming obligations for WGTL CH-52 and it will provide "The Holy Land Experience" with much needed promotion to bring more people to the theme park and Orlando as a whole."

The Holy Land Experience could well be considered Orlando's most inspiring destination as visitors experience a full day of discovery that takes them 2,000 years back in time to the world of the Bible. It brings to life ancient Israel as a unique, thriving world filled with fascinating exhibits and venues. Visitors learn about the Wilderness Tabernacle and the Great Temple; discover the amazing history of the Bible; explore the city of Jerusalem in miniature; see re-enactments of Jesus' ministry, His life, death, and resurrection; and feel the power and passion of our original musical productions.

WGTL TV, Channel 52, has a reach of over four million viewers in the Orlando and Cocoa Beach metropolitan areas with TBN's wide range of innovative faith-based programming. In October of 2006, TBN celebrated the inaugural broadcast of WGTL Ch-52 in Orlando with a dedicatory service attended by TBN founders Paul and Jan Crouch, Pastor Benny Hinn, Singer and Preacher Judy Jacobs hosted by Pastor George Cope and Calvary Assembly in Winter Park, Fl.

The combination of the production facilities and the Holy Land Experience offers Orlando visitors a powerful and unique faith based experience that can be promoted worldwide through the TBN network. The promotional capability can drive visitors to the complex.

"Some of the staff was asking what is going to be the immediate effect here at the park and my answer was 'I'm planning on you having more people coming through the turnstiles this summer,'" said Crouch. "Universal Studios does the same thing. We want the 'Holy Land Experience' to be a faith-based version of that."

WDC Media Retained by The Healing Today Show



2010-02-08 -- WDC Media News -- WDC Media, the nation’s most innovative and passionate faith and values-based public relations firm, announced that it has been retained by The Healing Today Show, sponsored by Lambs of Love and Christendom Ministries of Los Angeles.

The Healing Today Show, which began airing on Christian Television Network (CTN) in August 2009, is a half-hour program during which real people tell real stories about their lives. Guests share life-altering stories of challenging and often lifelong struggles with obesity, alcoholism, eating disorders, depression, physical and mental disabilities, spiritual experiences and miracles, marital difficulties, financial problems, and abuse issues such as drug addiction, pornography, and gambling.

"There have been many times in my own life when I wanted to overcome weakness,” says Randy Wecker, founder and president of Christendom Television Productions. “I wanted to be loved and to heal without experiencing the pain that comes from human relationships. But this is the kind of healing that can only come from Jesus Christ's unconditional love, which is never ending."  

Guests of The Healing Today Show talk to brother and sister co-hosts Rhonda Lynn Wecker-Bilbrey and Randy Wecker about the way in which their struggles have affected their lives, and the lives of their family and friends. They also reveal the key to change, giving audiences hope for a better life. It is the Wecker family’s hope that the guests’ stories will light the way toward helping millions of others heal.

“It’s a real honor to represent a CTN program devoted entirely to healing,” says Susan Zahn, founder of WDC Media. “WDC Media is proud to represent The Healing Today Show, and can’t wait to see more new episodes this season."

Non-denominational in nature, Christendom Ministries is a healing ministry begun by Randy Wecker, Rhonda Wecker-Bilbrey, and Shirely Wecker in 2007. Its mission is to take the message of salvation and God's healing power to the world.
 
The mission of Lambs of Love's Ministry is to share the love of God by providing a lamb embroidered with an inscription that reminds people that no one loves them more than God, and that his love endures forever. Its outreach is to individuals looking for comfort, or children and adults who are dealing with a serious illness. For more information, click on http://www.christendom.org/.
