TBN in Africa which reaches an estimated two billion potential viewers each day has started airing teachings by Ap Grace Lubega, the vision bearer of Phaneroo.
The Ministry’s landmark achievement and growth to the global platform comes following TBN’s deep desire “to unite credible ministries and Christian media organizations from across Africa.”
The TBN Family of Networks is the world’s largest Christian television network with over 30 global networks on 88 satellites, the Internet and thousands of cable systems around the world.
“We are living to see this Gospel reach the ends of the world! Glory to God,” Thomas A. Mbajjwe, who fellowships with Phaneroo remarked on social media.
The TBN in Africa branch, launched on 4 March 2016 on DStv channel 343 is according to sources entirely independent of all ministries and Christian organisations in regards to ownership, operations and leadership of the Network.
It however works in close relationship with most South African and African ministries across many denominations, to enable the development of new variety Christian content and emerge ministries in order to create a platform for the very best in ministry, worship and Christian programmes from the continent.
Matthew Crouch, Chairman of Trinity Broadcasting Networks International while launching TBN Africa in 2016 said, ‘with over 55% local African content every week, our viewers can expect authentic, credible programming that facilitates and shapes a well-rounded and balanced lifestyle for everyone seeking a morally sound viewing environment.”
He added that he and others within the TBN family looked forward to the strong ministry and broadcast relationships that will be developed through TBN in Africa.
“Thirty years ago my father, TBN founder Paul Crouch Sr., came to Africa with this same sense of faith and expectancy, as TBN first went on the air in Ciskei back in 1986. With the launch of TBN in Africa we come full circle with the vision my father had to impact the African continent with the Good News of Jesus Christ,” he said.
“We believe that our approach to uniting credible ministries and Christian media organizations from across Africa, and developing quality faith-and-family content from these relationships, will have a major impact in Africa and also in many nations across the globe,” he said. “This is a powerful model for the future of Christian television around the world.”
