From jasnews at johnankerberg.org Tue Oct 7 10:43:15 2008 From: jasnews at johnankerberg.org (John Ankerberg Show News) Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 10:43:15 -0400 Subject: JAS News - News from the John Ankerberg Show Message-ID: <002901c9288b$0a2127c0$1e637740$@org> Dear Friends, Less than one month remains until our next election. We are here to help provide the biblical information you need to analyze the issues at hand before you vote. In the last Presidential election, 27.1 million evangelicals voted. 24 million of those votes were for George W. Bush, helping him win by approximately 3 million votes. The evangelicals who voted made the difference. What about 2008? This year, an estimated 40 million votes will be cast by evangelicals. These votes can greatly determine who will be the next president. Government is God's idea (Romans 13:1). Christians must be good citizens and vote their values based on biblical principles in this election. In doing so, there are two things Christians must watch. First, every Christian must determine that he or she will vote. Each of us is accountable to God. Further, we must not assume that others will carry the day if we don't vote. In the last presidential election the margin of victory was only 3 million votes. We now know that 7 million evangelicals, who could have voted, stayed home and did not. In this election, how important do you think 7 million votes will be? Second, Christians must apply God's Word to determine where candidates stand on key issues. We must vote for the candidate who stands with us on these issues. CPE1CPE2 http://www.johnankerberg.org/catalog/current-offer.html We have made this current series of programs so you can hear Dr. Frank Wright, Janet Parshall, and Craig Parshall discuss the importance of nominating new Supreme Court judges, the debate over same-sex marriage, the battle regarding legalized abortion, and the potential loss of religious freedoms due to hate crime laws and other legislation that is being proposed. Our series extending through October 5th called "The Coming Political Earthquake" includes eight programs that share these exclusive interviews. To preview these programs, we invite you to check them out online at www. JohnAnkerberg.org. Join the thousands who have experienced fresh insights from three key Christian leaders on today's political and legal issues. JUST FOR YOU You may obtain a DVD copy of these eight programs for your gift of $89. Plus, to help you share this material with others, we are offering a special incentive for anyone who receives this letter. Additional copies are available for a 50% discount. http://www.johnankerberg.org/catalog/current-offer.html Further, we are also offering a special bonus package that features a total of 20 television programs on the political and spiritual issues facing our nation this election season. It not only includes "The Coming Political Earthquake," but also "Our Nation at the Crossroads: Is God on America's Side?" In these six programs, Dr. Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention and Dr. Erwin Lutzer, pastor of Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, answer: Does God have a side in the many moral issues being debated in our country? How can Christians be involved in influencing public policy decisions without clouding the Gospel? Finally, we are also including our popular six program series "Was America Founded on Christian Principles?" Historian Dr. David Barton walks through the writings of America's founding fathers and shows their intentions regarding belief in God and biblical principles in the public square, American schools, and government. He cites passages from Christopher Columbus' log, statements from the early colonists, the Mayflower Compact, the first public school laws, and the original entrance requirements to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. All 20 of these programs are available for your gift of only $120. And the discount applies to this bonus package as well. Additional copies of this package are available for a 50% discount. http://www.johnankerberg.org/catalog/current-offer.html GLOBAL IMPACT God continues to use your generosity to help us literally impact our world with the truth of the Gospel. Did you know our television program plays in all 50 states and over 200 nations overseas? During a recent trip to Europe, I discovered our show airing in our hotel and offered numerous opportunities to share Christ with those we met. Our ministry was also recently contacted by a Brazilian network interested in airing our program and sharing our other resources throughout South America. This fall, we re-released three of our bestselling Facts On books. This series has been translated into 16 languages and has over 2 million copies in print. In total, our books have now reached over 3 million copies and have influenced leaders, pastors, believers, and skeptics worldwide. http://www.johnankerberg.com/catalog/facts-on.html Over the past year, God has also opened new opportunities to share our ministry over the radio. Our new Ankerberg Minute program, started in November of last year, airs nearly 700 times daily nationwide and is downloaded from our website almost 1,000 times each day. http://www.johnankerberg.org/ The Internet also allows us to communicate with many we could never reach in person. Did you know that your gifts allow us to reach almost 3.5 million people per year in 184 countries? Approximately 2,000 people read our article each month on how to know Christ personally, altering the lives of individuals and families for eternity. http://www.johnankerberg.com/ankerberg-articles/christian.html WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING But it's not just the statistics. Behind each broadcast, book, radio program, or web page, hearts and minds are directed to God's plan for their lives. Some of those touched by our ministry have recently written: "Ever since I came across your website some time ago, I have had a burning desire to know the Lord more.you are helping me do the Lord's work with these videos and your website." -Steven "I thank God for your ministry. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the work you do. You have helped me become a better witness for the truth of Jesus Christ through your books, articles, and DVDs. God bless you all!" -Anonymous "God used your ministry to change my life and to use me to change the lives of others.Thank you for being faithful to the call God placed on your life. It has meant a lot to mine." -Chris BETTER TOGETHER Over the past 28 years, each time I have aired a controversial program on the issues concerning our nation, I have been told by many how helpful the information was to their lives. But financially, few respond to keep us in position to continue to air new programs on these topics. Currently, we are in a time of financial need. To weather this challenge, I really need your help and the help of 3,000 others who will stand with a special gift of $100 or more this month. If you have been encouraged through this ministry's resources, please consider helping now. You can do this in one of two ways. If you would like the resources mentioned above, you can order our $120 package as your gift. If not, please consider donating an amount of $100 or another amount to partner with our ministry during this time. God has called us to this ministry. Through your generosity, we are better together and can continue to impact lives for eternity around the world with the good news of Christ.

We are now left in a vulnerable position. We must raise $325,000 by October 29th to continue airing our program. The John Ankerberg Show provides information you will not find on any other program. Jude 3 writes, "contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints." The apostle Peter urges us to do so with gentleness and respect. This is our goal. The gospel is communicated through our television ministry in all 50 states and 200 countries. Our radio program is heard nearly 700 times daily nationwide. Our web site reaches 3.5 million people per year in 184 countries. Each month, 2,000 people read our article on how to become a Christian. Many turn to faith in Christ as a result. In the past year, our guests have included top scholars who have been featured on ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, and CNN. God has opened amazing doors for ministry to reach multitudes of individual lives through your generosity. First, we would urge you to pray for our ministry's financial situation. Second, please give generously with a gift of $100 or more. Even gifts of $30 or $50 help. We need approximately 3,000 friends like you to send $100 to meet this immediate need. To thank you for your gift of $100, you will receive our top 15 half-hour programs. For gifts of $400 or more, you will receive our top 15 series (64 programs). I'm writing this note because I want you to know this is important. Please respond now through the card on the back of this letter, by phone, or online. Our future and the lives we can impact together count on it.
