Part III, Line 4AThe 700 Club is a live television program that airs weekdays before a studio audience from The Christian Broadcasting Network's (CBN) broadcast facilities in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and is the primary program used by CBN to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the U.S. On the air continuously since 1966, it is one of the longest-running programs in broadcast history. Hosted by Pat Robertson, Terry Meeuwsen, Kristi Watts and Gordon Robertson, with news anchor Lee Webb, The 700 Club is a Christian news/magazine program that has a variety and pacing of a morning show with in-depth investigative reporting by the CBN News team plus interviews, inspiring stories, and Christian ministry. In the program, viewers are invited to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The program is carried on over 100 U.S. television stations, ABC Family Channel cable network, FamilyNet, and the Trinity Broadcasting Network. The 700 Club can now be seen in over 110 million homes and averages nearly one million viewers on a daily basis. Over 69 million unique viewers watched the 700 club at least once in the past year. In addition to broadcasting, and airing CBN's programming on cable television networks, CBN also streams its programming on the Internet making it available to the worldwide audience. As part of the 700 Club, CBN News brings coverage on major events affecting our nation and Christians around the world. The Washington Bureau reports on news from the Capitol and correspondents report on events and trends that shape the world from Moscow to Jerusalem. Over the years, The 700 Club has become well known for its fresh and insightful interviews, hard-hitting special reports, and dramatic features. Some recent highlights include: 1) International news coverage on the persecution of Christians in Sudan, Pakistan, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Egypt, China, Burma and Indonesia and nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea were covered. 2) CBN News guests have included numerous governors, members of Congress and foreign heads of state. 3) Many celebrities appear on The 700 Club to share their Christian testimonies or discuss other relevant topics. 700 Club Interactive is an exciting new program that gives viewers from across the country the opportunity to interact with the hosts Gordon Robertson and Terry Meeuwsen. The program content is a combination of Bible teaching, testimonies, and prayer for viewers calling in via telephone, Skype, and internet texting requesting help for various situations in their lives. The prayer requests range from health related issues, marriage, and heart-rending stories of callers trying to cope with the loss of a loved one. It's a combination of the surprise elements of "Reality Television" with solid Biblical teaching. 700 Club Interactive airs weekdays on The ABC Family Channel 9:30-10am EST. CBN also produces Christian programs that can be seen in 136 countries in 65 languages worldwide, using indigenous hosts, indigenous languages, and are culturally relevant. These programs make up 90% of CBN's total global television audience. Since its inception in 1995, CBN.com has been at the forefront of Internet communication. With nearly 29 million site visits in 2011, CBN.com consistently ranks among the top Christian sites in the world. Featuring content from a host of CBN affiliated television programs including the 700 Club, 700 Club Interactive, CBN News, and international programs as well as original Web exclusive content, people viewed nearly 76 million web pages in 2011. CBN.com also utilizes the latest streaming video technology, internet television & radio, podcasts, a mobile Web site, and social network tools to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Part III, Line 4BThe goal of CBN's global outreach is to take the Gospel message around the world and share the love and hope of Jesus with those in need. CBN demonstrates innovation and integrity as it develops indigenous centers and partners with native Christian groups to spread the Gospel by the strategic use of: television, video evangelism, cell church planting, community-based humanitarian outreaches, and disaster relief efforts. CBN uses several key strategies in its worldwide evangelism efforts. The key strategy is to develop indigenous CBN centers that provide local outreach through the use of television, radio, internet, and video programming. Another important strategy is the development of partnerships with local Christian organizations to maximize resources and impact. The use of indigenous, recurring television programming in a country is a powerful outreach tool that will build a solid viewership base. Periodically, CBN also employs a "media blitz" which has proven an effective ministry tool to share Christian, family-oriented programming. Media Blitzes use animation specials and other culturally-relevant television shows broadcast in prime time, radio programs, Internet, and literature on as many outlets as possible in a targeted country in a short period, typically one to two weeks. CBN focuses its global evangelistic outreach in the following regions: Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, India, Indonesia, Europe, Southeast Asia, China, and Russia and the Newly Independent States (NIS). Some key ministry accomplishments for CBN are as follows: In the most recent survey for which information is available, more than 46 million people prayed during a twelve-month period to receive Jesus as their Savior through CBN's television broadcasts and other projects. In 2011 CBN programs were produced in 65 languages and programs have been produced in more than 100 foreign languages in total. CBN programs could be seen in 136 countries and territories. According to a recent independent survey, a projected 226,000,000 individuals viewed at least one episode of a CBN International TV program. In 2011, CBN in partnership with Operation Blessing dug more than 1,445 fresh water wells in India, the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Liberia, and constructed 1,111 cisterns in China, altogether serving more than more than 492,000 people in total. This partnership with Operation Blessing provided more than 177,000 pounds of food for people in desperate need, and conducted more than 2,700 medical, dental and surgical missions around the world treating more than 853,000 people. Through March, 2012 more than 91,000 in-home cell groups are now operating in the NIS. Orphan's Promise is a special project of CBN that is aimed at helping orphans and vulnerable children around the world through life skills training and academic programs; spiritual development; mentoring and career preparation; housing, food and clothing assistance; health care programs; as well as orphan care and adoption advocacy. In FY2012 Orphan's Promise helped thousands of vulnerable children in 37 countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Newly Independent States.
Part III, Line 4COperation of a Prayer Center: The Prayer Center is a department of CBN that provides prayer, scriptural guidance and literature to people through CBN's telephone prayer lines. The center's phones are staffed by more than 350 prayer staff who are trained in offering comfort and encouragement from a biblical perspective. The Prayer Center operates toll-free phone lines 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. For most CBN partners, the Prayer Center is their first line of contact to the ministry. The Prayer Center was established in 1974 and received 279,902 calls in its first year. The current Monday - Friday daily average is approximately 11,500 inbound/outbound calls and web chats. In 2011 the Prayer Center had 3,200,000 live contacts of which 33,000 were salvations. Since its inception there have been approximately 90,000,000 contacts of which 3,000,000 were salvations. Basing every call in scripture and prayer is the primary focus of The 700 Club Prayer Center. CBN's prayer staff listen with compassion to a caller's concerns, offer encouraging words from the Bible and pray for a solution to the caller's problem. Prayer Center telephone staff also offer callers free literature from dozens of pamphlets and www.CBN.com resources. This material covers relevant spiritual topics such as prayer, finances, marriage, salvation and other subjects that concern our callers. The Prayer Center supports the various outreaches of CBN with intercessory prayer, calling upon God to advance the Gospel throughout the world. Phone calls and web chat to CBN's prayer line are categorized according to the subject matter discussed during the call. The number of calls to the prayer line and the number of people who made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as Savior have been recorded since 1963. Other call categories have been tracked since 1977. This data is used to measure our progress and strategize for future ministry.
Part III, Line 4DSupport of Operation Blessing International Relief and Development Corporation: Operation Blessing International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, humanitarian organization with a mission to demonstrate God's love by alleviating human need and suffering in the United States and around the world. Implementing programs that include disaster relief, medical aid, hunger relief, orphan care, clean water and community development, OBI made a significant impact in the lives of 15.8 million people during fiscal year 2012. During FY12, OBI held 2,302 international missions that provided free medical care such as general medical, optical, dental and surgical services. OBI also provided cleft lip and palate surgeries, as well as dispensed medicine to children and adults in countries such as El Salvador, the Philippines, Peru, India, Nigeria, Haiti and China. In addition to volunteer medical teams, OBI mobilizes national health care workers to provide free or low-cost medical and dental services in rural areas so remote populations can receive care. OBI frequently provides medical equipment and supplies to health care facilities in developing areas where supplies run low and equipment is impossible to get. OBI also addresses community health issues by providing access to basic medicines, medical supplies and training. Operation Blessing was instrumental in feeding millions of hungry people around the world in FY12, including seed banks to help famine-stricken families in Niger and feeding programs for children in Kenya, Cambodia and Guatemala. A first responder in times of disaster, OBI responded to 52 disasters in FY12, helping more than 307,000 people in need. Months after Japan's earthquake and tsunami, OBI conducted free eye glass clinics and gave boats and fishing gear to help revitalize the fishing industry. Teams also delivered food to famine victims in the Horn of Africa. In FY12, Operation Blessing equipped more than 17,000 individuals with marketable job skills and small business opportunities in countries such as Honduras, the Philippines, Peru, India and Israel. From training in electrical work and baking, to vegetable gardens and sewing centers, OBI is providing those in need with the resources and skills to sustain their families and develop stronger communities. In the U.S., OBI's fleet of Hunger Strike Force (HSF) tractor trailers traveled more than 1.6 million miles and distributed more than 72 million pounds of donated food and relief products to families in need. By working closely with food processing companies, growers and manufacturers, OBI taps into America's surplus and gathers corporate donations of food staples and relief products, delivering much-needed food and relief supplies to disadvantaged families and disaster victims. The HSF's fleet of eighteen-wheeler, tractor trailer trucks transports millions of pounds of food, relief products and disaster relief supplies to a network of more than 120 community-based partners in dozens of cities across the U.S. These partners in turn serve roughly 4,400 local food pantries and hunger relief agencies nationwide. Currently, OBI has a 90,000 square foot distribution center in Chesapeake, Virginia; a 45,000 square-foot warehouse in Grand Prairie, Texas; a 60,000 square-foot storm headquarters warehouse in Ocala, Florida; and a 23,000 square-foot food distribution center in Bristol, Virginia, to help reach impoverished families in Appalachia. These distribution centers make it possible to strategically ship mixed loads of food and other relief supplies to disadvantaged families and disaster victims. From tornadoes in Virginia, Alabama, Missouri and Illinois to responding to Hurricane Irene in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, OBI's domestic disaster relief teams supplied thousands of meals and hours of volunteer support to people in crisis during FY12. When devastating tornadoes struck Virginia, Birmingham, Ala., and Joplin, Mo., Operation Blessing provided families with thousands of hot meals as well as debris clean up, including (4) Extreme Blessing Home Makeovers. More than 8,000 volunteers served nearly 60,000 hours assisting residents with clean-up and recovery efforts. In the wake of Hurricane Irene, OBI was also the first and one of a few NGOs allowed on Hatteras Island, providing hot meals, debris cleanup services and a laundry facility for residents in a hard-hit coastal community in the Outer Banks, where at least 90 percent of the homes received water damage. Support for Other Charities and Ministries: CBN supports various other organizations within the United States. They include ministries, educational entities, humanitarian agencies, and various other non-profit organizations. Production and Distribution of Christian Materials: CBN's goal is that the production and distribution of Christian materials will bring millions of people to richer relationships with Christ.
