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, The 700 Club is one of the longest-running programs in broadcast history. Hosted by Pat Robertson, Terry Meeuwsen, Wendy Griffith and Gordon Robertson, with news anchor John Jessup, The 700 Club is a Christian news/magazine style program that has the 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. broadcast television stations, ABC Family Channel cable network, and most major Christian Television Networks. The 700 Club can now be seen in over 110 million homes and averages nearly one million viewers on a daily basis. Over 64.2 million unique viewers watched the 700 club at least once in the past year. In addition to airing CBN's programming on cable television networks and local affiliates, CBN also streams its programming on the Internet making it available to the worldwide audience. 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 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. 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 The ABC Family Channel 9:30-10am EST. CBN also produces Christian programs that can be seen in 139 countries in 62 languages worldwide, using indigenous hosts, indigenous languages, and are culturally relevant. These programs make up 80% of CBN's total global television audience. Since its inception in 1995, CBN.com has been at the forefront of Internet communication. With more than 39 million site visits in 2012, 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, Superbook, and international programs as well as original Web exclusive content, people viewed more than 86 million web pages in 2012. CBN.com also utilizes the latest streaming video technology, internet television & radio, podcasts, apps, 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 now has 13 episodes of a new version of Superbook, a series of animated Bible stories CBN originally produced in Japan in the early 1980's. CBN is currently working on more than 20 language translations of these episodes, as well as Superbook websites in various languages, a Sunday School curriculum, and other Superbook-related products. 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 (NIS). In the most recent survey for which information is available, more than 55 million people prayed during a twelve-month period to receive Jesus as their Savior through CBN's television broadcasts and other projects. In 2012 CBN programs were produced in 62 languages and programs have been produced in more than 110 foreign languages in total. CBN programs could be seen in 139 countries and territories. According to a recent independent survey, a projected 265,000,000 individuals viewed at least one episode of a CBN International TV program. In 2012, CBN in partnership with Operation Blessing dug more than 1,658 fresh water wells in India, the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Liberia, and constructed 450 cisterns in China, altogether serving more than more than 542,000 people in total. This partnership with Operation Blessing provided more than 385,000 pounds of food for people in desperate need, and conducted more than 2,091 medical, dental and surgical missions around the world treating more than 725,000 people. Through the fiscal year ending March 2013 more than 92,000 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 FY2013 Orphan's Promise helped thousands of vulnerable children in 42 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Newly Independent States.
Part III, Line 4CThe Prayer Center is a department of CBN that provides prayer, scriptural guidance and literature to people through CBN's telephone prayer lines and social media portals. The center's phones are staffed by more than 300 prayer staff that are trained in offering comfort and encouragement from a biblical perspective. The Prayer Center was established in 1974 and received 279,902 calls in its first year. The current Monday - Friday daily average is approximately 10,000 inbound/outbound calls and web chats. In 2012 the Prayer Center had 3,100,000 live contacts of which 27,771 were salvations. Since its inception there have been approximately 93,000,000 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 listens 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 covering relevant spiritual topics such as prayer, finances, marriage, salvation and other subjects that concern our callers. CBN.com offers electronic copies of the literature noted above as well as the opportunity to submit prayer requests electronically. The Prayer Center supports the various outreaches of CBN with intercessory prayer to see CBN accomplish its mission around 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 6.4 million people during fiscal year 2013. During FY13, OBI held 1,730 international medical missions that provided free medical care such as general medical, optical, dental and surgical services. OBI also dispensed medicine to children and adults in countries like El Salvador, the Philippines, Peru, India, Nigeria, Haiti and China and provided life-changing surgeries such as cleft lip and palate, cataract and more to those in need. 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 FY13, 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 45 disasters in FY13, helping more than 384,000 people in need. In the wake of historic Superstorm Sandy, teams aided victims in New York with emergency food and relief, debris cleanup and rebuilding efforts as well as helping tornado victims in Texas. Teams also supplied food to families impacted by civil war in Mali. In FY13, Operation Blessing equipped individuals with marketable job skills and small business opportunities in countries such as Honduras, the Philippines, Kenya, Peru, India and Israel. From training in electrical work and baking to community vegetable gardens and sewing centers, OBI is providing those in need with the resources and skills to sustain their families and develop stronger communities. During this last fiscal year, Operation Blessing built 1,941 wells in communities lacking clean drinking water, benefiting nearly half a million people in countries such as India, Nigeria and Thailand. Community water systems and filters in places like Honduras and Sierra Leone are providing families with access to safe water, and ongoing chlorine production in Haiti is helping disinfect 4 million gallons of water daily. Through feeding programs, educational assistance, life skills training, medical care and more, OBI is reaching orphans and vulnerable children such as street kids, child trafficking victims, and children battling poverty and malnutrition. In FY13, OBI helped at-risk children and youth in countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Uganda, Peru, India and China. In the United States, OBI's fleet of Hunger Strike Force tractor-trailers traveled more than 1.6 million miles and distributed more than 68 million pounds of food and donated 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. During FY13, OBI's domestic disaster relief teams helped communities in crisis by providing relief to tornado victims in Texas, storm victims in West Virginia, and hurricane victims in Louisiana, New York and New Jersey. When a devastating tornado struck Texas, Operation Blessing provided victims with hot meals, tarped damaged roofs and helped residents with debris cleanup-including providing an "Extreme Blessing" Home Makeover. In response to Hurricane Isaac that struck areas still recovering from Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav, OBI teams provided nearly 27,000 hot meals, delivered five truckloads of food, drinks, hygiene supplies and other emergency relief, and facilitated hundreds of work orders to help affected residents with debris removal and cleanup. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, OBI immediately responded to help New York and New Jersey residents. Teams conducted mass food and hot meal distributions in Manhattan, Far Rockaway, & Coney Island, NY, to high-rise Section 8 apartment residents without power and heat, including distributing over 450,000 lbs. (17 truckloads) of food, water and supplies. OB later focused their efforts on Breezy Point, NY, coordinating volunteer efforts, debris cleanup, helping residents salvage belongings and completing (2) "Extreme Blessing" Home Makeovers. In Toms River, Bayville, Little Egg Harbor, and Mystic Island, New Jersey, OB teams also helped families with debris cleanup, gutting, and repairing affected homes. 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.
