An Amazing Fact: The race is on to build the earth’s tallest building. China, Russia, and South Korea all have plans for colossal skyscrapers, but presently the United Arab Emirates has a staggering new edifice under construction in Dubai. The concrete skeleton of the “Burj Dubai” is already taller than any building in the world; and although the final height is a secret, it is estimated that it will be at least 2,600 feet — nearly twice as tall as the Empire State building! But unlike the Empire State, which is founded on rock, the “Burj Dubai” is being constructed on sand!
While the contest is on to see which country can push structural engineering to the limits and construct the tallest building in the world, you and I have a much more exciting, rewarding, and eternal calling …
It’s the race to reach the world for Jesus Christ — to build His church — before the coming storm!
And thankfully, God is giving us more opportunities to do this now than ever before. One recent miracle: The Lord opened the door for us to broadcast our programs to more than 140 million new households in the formerly atheistic-controlled country of Russia! The offer came to me just a couple days ago from the head of a major Christian network that broadcasts across the former Soviet Union.
He said they had numerous requests from their viewers asking them to get our Amazing Facts TV programs made available in the Russian language. (We’re already seen in some parts of Russia in English.) So he is opening up a prime-time slot for us on their network, which reaches the entire continent. In addition, the program will be broadcast on 400 secular cable networks and TV stations in Russia and 160 other countries! What a tremendous chance to bring the Bible truth to them so they can meet the real Jesus.
Imagine! Our programs shown from Moscow, and St. Petersburg, to the furthest reaches of the Ukraine and Siberia! The potential is to reach millions of people. This breakthrough catapults us forward in the race to build up the Temple of God!
Here is the best part: The actual broadcast of the program is free! We will not have to pay for any of the actual air-time to reach potentially millions of people! All we must do is pay for the translation of the programs and dubbing into the Russian language — this is only a fraction of what the broadcast time would normally cost. Wow!
But this incredible opportunity does create some new demand. I envision beginning the Russian programming in the next few weeks. In order to accept this extraordinary offer, we will need to quickly translate the programs, websites, Bible studies, and other ministry materials into the Russian language. This is where we will need your immediate financial support and help.
We will develop a Russian website with our translated Storacle Bible study lessons to reach the thousands of new interest that will be seeking for truth. We know the new project will still cost thousands of dollars, but when you calculate the millions who will see the programs and hear the truth in their own tongue, it is only fractions of a penny per soul.
This year it seems that God has opened for us many incredible ways to reach higher and farther than ever before. Our programs in China, South America, and now Russia give us a global reach to fulfill our mandate of Revelation 14:6… “To proclaim to those who live on the earth — to every nation, tribe, language and people.”
That’s our dream — and our challenge — to be a part of reaching every major language in the entire world with the three angels’ messages. And with your help, we will continue to build this sanctuary of life, this Ark of salvation — bringing God’s message to masses through television, radio, and the internet.
“Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. For behold, the LORD comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity” (Isaiah 26:20, 21).
What is the most expensive building in the world? It is the one that Jesus paid for with His own life and blood — His church. Your gift today will provide these thirsty, precious soul in Russia, China, and the USA with a cool drink of Living Water. Nothing is more important. Please don’t delay.
Your servant in Christ,
Pastor Doug Batchelor
