An Amazing Fact: Around 350 people die each year in the United States in crashes caused by drivers headed in the wrong direction on the highway. Most drivers who enter a roadway under such circumstances soon discover their mistake and turn around.
But some continue driving in the wrong direction looking for a shortcut—while others are confused by obstructed or missing warning signs. Fatalities from wrong-way crashes are much higher than in other collisions.
James hated God. After his brother committed suicide, James became a militant atheist. For ten years, he headed the wrong way—toward eternal oblivion—but then he made a dramatic U-turn after seeing an Amazing Facts program on television.
Have you ever gone the wrong way down a one-way street? Untold millions are doing just that spiritually. Some, like James, purposely turn away from God. But many know only a little about the Bible and think, unwittingly, that they are headed the right way. This false sense of security is dangerous: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12).
No matter one’s reason for going in the wrong direction, the end result is fatal.
When you tune in to most popular Christian broadcasts these days, you hear half-truths mixed with feel-good messages that promise wealth and health. There is little to nothing about following Jesus wholeheartedly. This watered-down gospel is sending millions in the wrong direction!
But many among these masses have become suspicious of these mushy messages pointing them down the broad road to destruction. They want to know the right way—the one way—to the kingdom. They are thirsting for Bible truth that sets them free from sin.
How do we call these honest seekers out of Babylon and into God’s last-day church, which is now being prepared for Christ’s soon return? We must go to them with His message! Jesus Himself wants us to reach these “lost sheep of Israel” (Matthew 10:6). And there’s no better way to do that than by broadcasting the truth right where they are already seeking it.
So I want to tell you about a wonderful miracle God just performed to get us on a huge TV station known for its popular Sunday-keeping ministers. But first, let me share how God used you to reach James and many others through Amazing Facts broadcasts!
Wanted to Prove Us Wrong
James has had a rough life. He almost died from poor health, a house fire, and an assault. He even once joined a cult. But after losing his brother, he turned against God.
Yet the Lord patiently pursued this lost sheep. A few years later, he came to Christ and was baptized into a church that preached the prosperity gospel. He even formed a street ministry.
About this time, James caught an Amazing Facts evangelistic series on TV. His first thought after seeing my first message was, “I want to prove Doug Batchelor is wrong!” But after watching all 20 episodes, he realized that he was hearing wonderful Bible truth. Now he’s a baptized member of God’s remnant church. Praise the Lord!
That’s not the first time someone has watched Amazing Facts programs for the sole purpose of pointing out supposed errors. But I’m not concerned! When I present what the Bible says plainly and simply, I let the Holy Spirit do all the convicting.
But it is your loving gifts that put Amazing Facts truth-filled programs on the air so that people like James can make U-turns and receive the blessings of following Christ wholeheartedly. Our messages present the full end-time gospel—salvation, heaven, hell, the afterlife, Sabbath, the urgent messages of Revelation 14, and more.
Truth Set Her Free
It is obvious to a growing number of seekers that our world is not going to last much longer. People want to know the one way to eternal life. They don’t want to drive in the wrong direction, like Jane was, and end up in a head-on collision with eternity!
As an adult, Jane turned to spiritualism to find answers. A dark experience shook her one night, and she turned to Jesus. It was a turning point.
However, as she went from church to church searching for Bible truth, she landed in a denomination that teaches God will burn lost sinners in hell for all eternity. She was deeply distressed by the thought that her dead loved ones were constantly being tormented in hellfire.
Searching for hope, she turned on her television and found an Amazing Facts program that you made available. “I was like a sponge,” she shares. “I couldn’t get enough Bible truth. For the first time in my life, I understood Jesus’ statement that the truth will set you free!”
I have continual joy seeing how you are helping so many people go in the right direction after watching an Amazing Facts program you placed on TV. It’s absolutely amazing how Christian stations are so effective in turning people in the right direction!
That’s the reason our media team prayerfully looks for new stations on which to place Amazing Facts programs in these last days. And recently, God performed a miracle …
GEB Network Opportunity
Frankly, it’s not easy to get on just any Christian TV network when you are preaching unpopular Bible truth. But recently, we were offered a 30-minute time slot, five days a week, on GEB Network (formerly Golden Eagle Broadcasting), a digital station that primarily airs Christian and family programming.
GEB is a national network that reaches 62 million homes. They broadcast across the country on DirecTV Channel 363 and also in several major cities, including Houston, Philadelphia, Nashville, and Orlando.
Friend, it’s a miracle that they asked us to be on their station!
So will you help secure this rare opportunity by sending a gift today? The cost for a full year of five weekly soul-winning programs is $156,000. I know this is a big commitment, but we also know it works. How much is a soul worth? Your sacrificial gift of $100 could send life-changing programs into more than 10 million homes. A loving gift of $20 could help people in over 2 million homes watch and hear the three angels’ messages. And a sacrificial gift of $600 will provide a full truth-filled broadcast for one day to potentially all 62 million homes.
Whatever size gift you send, I am thankful. You can know that the Lord will bless your gift to make an eternal difference through all our evangelistic broadcasts and programs, which are like one-way warning signs pointing people to the “One” who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Pointing people the right way,
Pastor Doug Batchelor
