December 29, 2009



Dear Friend,

With only three days left in 2009, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your interest in Hope Channel this year. God has blessed our global outreach to touch your life and millions more like you.

Your support this year has brought hope and salvation to people all around the world. We have seen God perform multiple miracles to open doors for His message to bless people in more than 200 countries. At the end of this e-mail I have included a few choice testimonies that will inspire you.

I am writing today to ask if you will consider joining us again here in these few remaining days of 2009 to advance Jesus’ message of hope and truth. Your gift right now will help give the gospel to the world in these tumultuous last days by establishing three new channels for China, India, and Muslim countries. You will also enable us to produce life-changing programs for our eight global full-time channels that will bless viewers with hope, healing, and salvation.

These last three days of the year are vital for this ministry. To be honest, giving is down this year, but with the help of our viewers, Hope Channel can continue to reach the world in 2010. We're depending on late-December gifts from good friends like you to cover essential expenses and to help us meet the growing demands of a global ministry. Your gift, whether small or large, will make a huge difference in the lives of so many.

If you have already sent a year-end gift, thank you so much! But if you haven't, or want to include an additional blessing, I hope you will by Thursday, December 31. It's quick, easy and secure to give online from any place in the world. Or you can call us at 1-888-4-HOPE-TV (1-888-446-7388) up until midnight on Thursday night. If you live outside of North America you can reach us at +269-471-6050. Remember, gifts receipted for the USA and Canada are tax-deductible. Contributions postmarked by December 31 are also applied to 2009 for tax purposes. You can mail your gift to Hope Channel, PO Box 5303, Thousand Oaks, CA 91359-5303, USA.

Thank you for your support to give the message of Jesus to the world. May God richly bless you in 2010.

Sincerely,



Brad Thorp, President

Thank You for Touching Lives for Jesus

For many, Hope Channel has been a source of strength during the trying times of 2009. For others who live in areas hostile to Christianity, it is their connection to God’s family. And for many more, Hope Channel has been their introduction to God and His message for our day. Your support makes it possible.

Bringing Hope to Those Who Need It
“When I am in doubt and disappointed, Hope Channel is really hope.”

“I had a very severe food allergy. I lost 20 pounds and thought I was going to die. Then, I stayed in bed and watched Hope Channel every day and it helped me a lot because God speaks through this channel. Thanks.”

Shining the Light into Hostile Areas
“I have always wondered if I can get Hope Channel in a Muslim dominated region. Today God answered that prayer. Here I am in the middle of nowhere enjoying Hope Channel.”

“This is the most wonderful channel I have ever watched! The first time I saw Hope Channel was while visiting my sister in Egypt. I became very much motivated to get it in my home in Khartoum. I struggled to install a satellite TV and now we are enjoying Hope Channel.”

Leading Men and Women to Jesus
“Hope Channel appeared in my home with no dish network or anything to receive it. Just a free channel on my television. After watching it I was moved to join God’s church. Amazingly, after I made this decision the channel stopped broadcasting in my city. Praise God for His marvelous timing!”

“I am thrilled to say that Hope Channel has been a blessing to my family and I. You just make me fall more and more in love with Jesus.”
