the bible channel

I spent some time with the brother who founded The Bible Channel. You can see their website at www.thebiblechannel.org. Their primary ministry is to produce and distribute discipleship materials, primarily in an audiovisual format in Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, and Bahasa Indonesia. Their materials are distributed via satellite TV, cable TV, radio, MP3s, DVDs, MP4s, internet, etc. Their teaching is designed to equip the viewers/listeners to be self-feeding and be weaned off of the programs. The lessons are taught by local believers.
They have broadcast over 15,000 hours of material and given away 100,000 TV programs on video and DVD. Their programs are broadcasting on 55 TV channels in more than 100 countries. If you are working in the languages in which they are producing materials, you may want to consider taking advantage of these resources.
I would love to have recorded an extensive interview for you but due to security concerns I can’t. This brother is from a Muslim background and began the ministry from his house. The stories about how his other family members came to faith are absolutely amazing, and I am not saying that lightly. God has been using this ministry in a wonderful way.
The Bible Channel is a discipleship media delivered via media in Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, and Indonesian. Mandarin is coming soon.
