Wednesday, Mar. 22, 2006

In the second most populous nation in the world, only 2.3 percent are Christian. Hope, however, penetrated the mainly Hindu population of India and brought an amazing two million people to Jesus Christ through an unprecedented televangelism outreach of the Billy Graham ministry.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association launched an extensive outreach called "My Hope India," delivering the Gospel message through about 100 television channels to millions of homes in 14 different languages during this past Christmas. Dispelling the many doubts that preceded the telecasts throughout India, 150 hours of Gospel programming turned the lives of millions toward Christ.

"We stand 'utterly amazed' at what the Lord has done," the BGEA told supporters in its spring 2006 newsletter.

The landmark Gospel telecasts involved more than 61,000 churches and nearly 800,000 households that helped bring light into the hearts of the Indian people. Recently released reports indicated that groundbreaking televangelism brought two million to Christ, thousands of churches have seen their attendance swell with new believers, and new congregations are springing up. the rest
