Pastor Batchelor on International Prime Time!

I just got the newsletter giving the date for the airing of Pastor Batchelor's interview with National Geographic. I hope others have the channel....I do not so I am hoping someone in the church will tape it

Thank you, Avalee, for this news item.

I am also hoping somebody will tape it, therefore, seeing I have a bit of time remaining, I am going to see if I can find somebody who is receiving that channel.

I don't know how many of you received this from Amazing Facts so I will post the entire statement here about this program that has already aired.

Dear Friends,

We appreciate the prayers and words of support from so many regarding the Secrets of Revelation documentary. This Bible verse comes to mind: “So He expected it to bring forth good grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes” (Isaiah 5:2).


If you have seen the broadcast, you realize it was a great disappointment--mostly chaff, very little wheat. We have learned that after the program was completed by the producers, top executives at National Geographic chose to edit out most of our footage.



The crew recorded more than three hours of interviews and spent thousands of dollars flying us up to the cave in Southern California. I think most people know that National Geographic is not a religious organization and does not have a burden to convince people about Bible truth, so what we hoped would be given a little light was axed by executive decision.


There is good news: In spite of the overall message of the program, a number of people have already used the National Geographic special as an opportunity to reach out to their friends and family. One man wrote us the following:


“Immediately after this show, I promptly put in Pastor Batchelor’s tape on the second coming of Christ to show my brother the truth about this topic. I was not going to let the devil mislead my brother away from God! After we watched the video, I asked him which one was in line with the Bible … and he wasted no time in saying that [Pastor Doug’s] video was true and not that mangled mess we had watched on the National Geographic Channel.


“I also gave him The Prophecy Code DVD set, along with the Amazing Facts Study Guides and a Final Events. … He is now very interested in learning more of God’s wonderful message. I pray that he watches all of the DVDs, studies all of the guides, and comes to know God and keep His Commandments.”


Likewise, I encourage you to maximize your opportunities to share God’s Word with others and to continue to pray that God will open doors for us to share His end-time message with the world.


Here’s more good news: We’re providing an even better opportunity in a little more than a month. On 9/11 at 7 p.m., we will have a 30-minute primetime broadcast on i Network (formerly PAX) to give the message our way. For more information, click here.


Despite our sadness at the editing decisions that were made for Secrets, God can still work this for good. The Word that was given to John is still “faithful and true.” We firmly believe that God opened this door as an opportunity, so we will trust Him for His timing for the truth to emerge. Remember this promise: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (Proverbs 13:12).


Courage!


Pastor Doug



P.S. I should mention, the producers have told us that a lot more of our comments and even the cave footage was on the international broadcast, though we have not been able to confirm this yet.
