VIEWERS LIVES BEING CHANGED
A few of our viewers share their personal experiences watching Good News TV.
Lynda H
"I fell away from the church but started watching Good News TV. I've just learned so much. It really opened up my mind to the Bible. I've been in Prescott for 15 years and didn't have a home church up here. The first time I came to [the Prescott] church, they just welcomed me with open arms and just pulled me inside and said welcome and they were just super loving. I've been here ever since."
John W
John declares, "Truly, you know, I'm the guy your parents always warned you about. Now a days, I want to be a pastor."
His story starts, "September 14, 2003, was when I walked out of the joint. I started partying, drinking, getting kicked out of places and in fights. I was staying in a little one room hotel and was going down to eat at the mission every once in a while. I liked hearing the [Bible] stories that [the preacher] was telling because I had never heard them before. I went home and started going through the TV channels to find religious programs to watch. Then a program came on that was different, called Good News TV. They had Bible studies. I had never seen Bible studies, actually people sitting in rows with Bibles and discussing with one man what the different meanings of what's being read is about. I still wanted to go to church, but I realized the people I am watching don't go to church on Sunday. I got conflicted about that. I wanted to know when the true Sabbath was, so I started studying. I find out ... it's the seventh day, it's in the Commandments, and everybody that reads the Bible knows that.
I called Good News TV and requested a book (The Great Controversy). [They] took down my information and I hung up. Then a few days later I got a call from this couple, and I don't know them from Adam. They said, "I think we're outside your door, do you want to poke your head out?" I was stunned. They brought me the book in person! And they took me to church for the first time since I was a little tiny kid. If it wasn't for Good News TV I don't know if I would have made it. Honestly, I don't know. These people that I met in the church and Christ softened my heart."
Bob & Janet S
After many years of praying for his beloved wife, Bob's prayers are finally answered. Janet never wanted anything to do with God, but now she excitedly exclaims, "Good News TV has saved my life. If it were not for Good News TV, I would still be lost! I would still be smoking cigarettes, doing the worldly life that I was, tarot cards, and thinking that I was all it. No, this [my relationship with Jesus] is all it!" She continues, "The Holy Spirit has been doing so much in my life. Finally, [I] opened up the door [of my heart]. God walked in, and I locked that and threw away the key. I said, "You're never getting away from me!" Right?" Bob responded, "Amen!", with tears welled up in his eyes.
Nancy B
"It amazes me that ... the things I've learned in the last 3 years [by watching Good News TV] has kept me on the straight and narrow. I would just watch Good News TV, and I was perfectly happy with that. Then one day Doug Batchelor, at the end of his program, he goes, "You need to find a church near you." So, I got on my phone and got on the internet, and behold, Yuma Central came up."
She continues, "The first time I came in [to church] I was greeted like I've been there before. They were so happy to see me. I am so happy. These people don't know me, they don't know I'm lonely, and it was just so much fun." She and her husband, Lloyd, attended together for a year and then they got baptized. She then turns to the viewers and shares, "If you're missing something in your life then you are probably missing the Lord. Watch Good News TV. It will touch your heart."
Mark C
"When I went to church, I wanted to know God, I wanted to know Jesus, I wanted to know the truth. But, through my own study and through the Bible studies at church, I never got the whole truth or the light that I needed. When I started watching Good News TV ... I felt like this is the truth that I've been looking for all of this time."
Jesus Hernandez & Family
Our Spanish friend, Jesus, shares that he learned many things from the Bible by watching our Good News TV Latino channel, such as the importance of worshiping God on the seventh-day Sabbath. He shares that the Bible teaches, "there will be two groups." One group that worships God as God wants them to worship (John 4:23, Rev 12:17), and the other group that worships God as they want (Rom 1:25, Rev 13:12). "I want to worship God as He says, rather than how I want." Jesus finally found this church in Mesa that worships God on the Sabbath, and he appeals to us to do the same.
"[Good News TV is] an excellent, excellent Christian programming channel. I've watched the other big channels..., but I really got meaning out of this channel... Like the pastors said on there, yah know, look, don't take my word for it. Look in the Bible for it, and I did, and they were right. I just hope everyone supports this channel. It's good work, definitely sanctioned by the Lord. This much I know."

"That's what it's about. To help people understand that there is a loving God out there, [who] wants to have a personal loving relationship with us, and that wants us to know about the truth!"
