Dear Friends,
Greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ!
First, let me express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. Your prayers and generosity have been instrumental in making a significant difference in the lives of thousands of people, both here in the United States and among the nations. Through your support, the Word of God is being shared daily in more than 90 nations around the globe. Your contributions, regardless of their size, are deeply appreciated and are crucial in spreading the message of Jesus.
Now, I am thrilled to share exciting updates on the ministries, including progress and upcoming opportunities we have achieved together. Your support and prayers have played a pivotal role in these accomplishments, and I am excited to continue this journey with you. Together, we can look forward to even more impactful opportunities in the future.
With a growing reach, we are touching many nations through a comprehensive ministry, and we need your help in a new way. Your potential financial donation is crucial in helping us achieve our goal of refreshing how viewers, listeners, and supporters access our content. This summer, we ask you to prayerfully consider this opportunity to continue the production and impact of Tony L Crisp Ministries. Your contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply valued and will make a significant difference.
Ways you are helping to impact generations to come:
True Life Concepts Ministry is the 501(c)3 non-profit that drives all the various arms of ministry. In the past, at some point, you have prayed for or given to True Life Concepts; by doing so, you are supporting the podcasts and special events listed below, AND MORE. Recently, I was asked to film a documentary series on-site in Israel this summer or to create a video blog (vlog) that can be used to disciple people in the way of Jesus. Israel, the land of the Bible, is where I have walked and taught Bible students for more than 47 years. Filming for this project can be done most effectively this summer or fall while tourism is at a low ebb and the sites are unhindered and available for recording on the ground and with drones. The professional crews have been assembled, and contacts have been made for the equipment needed for the series in Israel. A generous partner has made a provision that will cover basic airfares and hotel lodging while in Israel, but we must still rent the equipment we cannot take and pay the people on the ground. We need at least another $25,000 and the additional professional editing cost to make the project the best it can be for the glory of God.
“On the Way…with Dr. Tony L. Crisp” and the “365 Bible Reading Plan” podcasts have over 400,000 downloads. More than 1,100 professionally produced podcasts have been recorded and are available on every central platform daily.
The Passover Seder in March 2024 welcomed over 1,000 people in Kingsport, Tennessee, and in participating churches, small groups, and families through the live simulcast. Those who participated via simulcast were guided through the event through pre-event preparation, and each participant was provided with a “Passover Haggadah.”
Through personal, virtual, and other speaking engagements, thousands of people have come to know Jesus as Lord, recommitted their lives to walk with God, or been encouraged in their faith.
The Bible Time Broadcast is a professionally produced 30-minute made-for-TV broadcast. National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) ran over 100 prime-time programs each Sunday morning for two years. We are being asked monthly to again make more programs available for airing nationwide.
TLC Holy Land Tours is an entity I began more than 35 years ago primarily to fund ministry, is excited to book trips again to Israel! Two trips following the “Footsteps of the Apostle Paul” in Greece, Turkey, and Italy will occur in the Spring and Fall of 2025. Greece and the Greek Isles that we visit are safe, and we only see the western coast of Turkey, Mykonos, and Ephesus by cruise excursion and islands like Patmos, where I will teach the Book of Revelation. These places are safe, along with Crete, Rhodes, and Santorini. We will not go to Italy in 2025 because of the crowds and prices due to the Roman Catholic Celebrations throughout the year, but we will return to Italy in 2026. If you want to learn more about these trips, please visit here to subscribe to our email list and receive the most up-to-date information. September 23- October 3, 2024, I am returning to Israel with a group; if you are interested in attending, please visit here, and we will send you information about this trip.
I am truly grateful for your continued support and look forward to sharing more about these projects and others we are developing with you. Please be sure to visit here and subscribe to our e-mail newsletter. Also, follow us on social media to keep up with the latest ministry updates. I ask that you consider praying and giving to the ministries listed above.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tony Crisp, Ph.D.
