Los Angeles (PRWEB) July 8, 2005 -- From Russia With Love --- “Letters of
support and gratitude are pouring in from all over the world!” exclaimed an
elated Pastor Igor Nikitin of Saint Petersburg, Russia during a recent
television interview on the set of TBN’s popular “Behind the Scenes” with TBN
Founder and President, Dr. Paul Crouch.
“We have received letters and
emails from Russians living as far away as Israel, England, Germany, Bulgaria
and even Pakistan!” proclaimed Nikitin, who then read several letters over the
air, including one from a recently born again Russian woman living in Saint
Petersburg who says she was saved while watching TBN.

Nikitin estimates there are 6 million Russians living in Europe

“The fact that TBN has launched its seventh national foreign
language channel in Russian without a lot of the standard marketing and branding
hoopla that usually accompanies such a gigantic broadcast undertaking is nothing
short of miraculous,” states Susan Zahn, Director of WDC Media, a California
based PR Firm.
TBN is the largest religious network in the world and
reaches virtually every country via 47 satellites and 14,000 television and
cable affiliates.
“In addition to other satellites that TBN uses, the
network utilizes ‘Hot Bird 6’s’ huge reach and broadcast technology,” says Paul
Crouch Jr., Vice President of Administration for TBN.
According to
Crouch, Hot Bird 6 provides a total of 32 active transponders. Of those 32
transponders, 28 are connected to a high-power Super-Widebeam coverage. “This
facilitates the provision of television broadcast and multimedia services over
the European continent, North Africa, parts of Russia and the Middle East,” says
Crouch.
Dr. Paul Crouch Sr. and his wife, Jan, founded TBN (Trinity
Broadcasting Network) in 1973. Dr. Crouch was recently honored by “The Church
Report” as one of the ‘50 Most Influential Christians in America.’ “The Church
Report” described the TBN founder as “an internationally recognized visionary in
the field of Christian television.”
“It is abundantly clear what the
Holy Spirit is doing in this generation,” stated TBN’s Elder Statesman and
Ambassador of the Good News to a capacity crowd of 15,000 in Saint Petersburg
during a recent revival meeting. “This is the only generation who has the
technology to reach the entire world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!”
