AS PART OF THE 700 CLUB, CBN NEWS COVERS STORIES AND EVENTS AFFECTING CHRISTIANS IN THE US AND AROUND THE WORLD. THE WASHINGTON BUREAU REPORTS ON NEWS FROM THE CAPITOL AND CBN'S INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENTS REPORT ON EVENTS AND TRENDS THAT SHAPE THE WORLD. 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 WORLDWIDE INCLUDING THE NATIONS OF CHINA, EGYPT, INDONESIA, IRAN, IRAQ, NIGERIA, PAKISTAN AND SYRIA, THE CHANGING POLITICAL LANDSCAPE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION IN IRAN AND NORTH KOREA. 2) CBN NEWS GUESTS HAVE INCLUDED PRESIDENTS, NUMEROUS GOVERNORS, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, CABINET SECRETARIES, 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 A 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. VIEWERS MAY CALL IN VIA TELEPHONE, SKYPE, OR INTERNET TEXTING TO REQUEST PRAYER 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 FREEFORM 9:30-10:00AM EST. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1995, CBN.COM HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF INTERNET COMMUNICATION.

JUNE 5, 2017 MARKED THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF ISRAEL'S BATTLE TO RECLAIM ITS BIBLICAL HEARTLAND. THE SIX-DAY WAR IS A CRITICAL PERIOD IN THE COUNTRY'S HISTORY, AND CBN PRODUCED A FILM CALLED "IN OUR HANDS: THE BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM" TO BRING THE HEART OF THE STORY TO THE BIG SCREEN. THIS FILM AIRED IN 782 THEATERS IN NORTH AMERICA DURING MAY AND JUNE 2017.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b	THE 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, INTERNET 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. CBN NOW HAS 44 EPISODES OF A NEW VERSION OF SUPERBOOK, A SERIES OF ANIMATED BIBLE STORIES CBN ORIGINALLY PRODUCED IN JAPAN IN THE EARLY 1980'S. SUPERBOOK BRINGS THE LIFE-CHANGING STORIES OF THE BIBLE TO LIFE AND TEACHES VALUES LIKE COURAGE, LOYALTY AND FAITH TO THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE DEVELOPED 14 SUPERBOOK EXPLORER PACKAGES WHICH INCLUDE SPECIAL EDITIONS OF EPISODES PLUS SPECIAL FEATURES WHICH ALLOW FAMILIES TO BETTER STUDY THE STORIES. CBN HAS OR IS WORKING ON 56 LANGUAGE TRANSLATIONS OF ONE OR MORE EPISODES OF THIS SERIES, AS WELL AS SUPERBOOK WEBSITES IN VARIOUS LANGUAGES, A SUNDAY SCHOOL CURRICULUM, AND OTHER SUPERBOOK-RELATED PROJECTS. CBN FOCUSES ITS GLOBAL EVANGELISTIC OUTREACH IN THE FOLLOWING REGIONS: CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN, SOUTH AMERICA, SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA, INDIA, INDONESIA, EUROPE, SOUTHEAST ASIA, CHINA, AND RUSSIA AND THE NEWLY INDEPENDENT STATES. IN 2017 CBN PROGRAMS AND OTHER CONTENT WERE PRODUCED IN 76 LANGUAGES AND HAVE BEEN PRODUCED IN 130 FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN TOTAL OVER THE YEARS. IN 2017, CBN PROGRAMS WERE SEEN IN 156 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4c	THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE PRAYER CENTER IS TO BASE EVERY INTERACTION IN BIBLICAL PRINCIPAL, SCRIPTURE, AND PRAYER. THIS IS DONE THROUGH FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT, ONLINE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND ENCOURAGEMENT THROUGH PRAYER FROM A FAITH BASED PERSPECTIVE.
