OVER THE YEARS, THE 700 CLUB HAS BECOME WELL KNOWN FOR ITS FRESH AND INSIGHTFUL INTERVIEWS, HARD-HITTING SPECIAL REPORTS, AND DRAMATIC FEATURES.

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" APPROACH WHICH HAS ALSO 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 NOW HAS 40 EPISODES OF A NEW VERSION OF SUPERBOOK, A SERIES OF ANIMATED BIBLE STORIES CBN ORIGINALLY PRODUCED IN JAPAN IN THE EARLY 1980'S.
