In keeping with our mission to deliver the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world, we have an Acts 1:8 belief that people should hear the Gospel in their own language—wherever they live! Whether it’s English, or other dialects that are spoken in your neighborhood, community, church, or around the world, we want to reach them with the Gospel in the language they speak.
As you read this thrilling update on your impact through Turning Point radio, television, and digital programs now being aired in many different languages, I pray you will be blessed.
In every case—past, present, and future—these are opportunities that could not be seized without God’s faithfulness...and yours!
Thank you for praying and giving generously to share God’s Word in fourteen languages—including your own—on radio and television, in digital and print and online, and by every possible means. God bless you!

Opportunity Seized:2008
Dr. Jeremiah has always had a heart to reach the people of Israel with the Gospel. And thanks to faithful friends like you, when an opportunity arose in 2008 to broadcast on Middle East TV (METV) using Arabic subtitles, Turning Point was poised to take action. Then, a few years later, your prayers and giving again empowered Turning Point to seize an opportunity to become a founding program on a dedicated channel that reaches all of the Middle East with the Gospel 24/7.
Opportunity Before Us:2022
God is opening doors for us to step through! Most programming for Arabic-speaking people is recorded in English with Arabic subtitles. Turning Point’s Arabic television program is created this way. However, hearing Bible teaching in their own language will allow Arabic speakers to focus more on the Gospel message being presented. To better reach the world’s Arabic-speaking population, Turning Point is moving forward to dub Dr. Jeremiah’s teaching in the Arabic language. Your generous support is making this possible!
“Though I am 80 years old and come from a Muslim family, I would like to let you know that your program led me to Christ. I wanted to share this good news with you!”
Turning Point in Albanian:
![Turning Point in Albanian Turning Point in Albanian](https://d2urhn0mmik6is.cloudfront.net/site/_images/monthly/0822/language-report/logos/Albanian.png)
Opportunity Seized:2021
Just last year, God opened a door. Together with faithful friends like you, Turning Point was able to launch radio and television broadcasts across Albania and Kosovo—reaching the Albanian speakers across Eastern Europe with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Already, we have seen an overwhelming response to our Albanian programs—which are also streamed on YouTube, getting viewed hundreds of times over!
Opportunity Before Us:2022
Predominantly Muslim, Albania and Kosovo’s growing Christian populations are in need of Bible-based resources. With the help of our ministry partners on the ground, you and Turning Point are pursuing a plan to translate, print, and distribute printed Bible study resources to pastors and churches across these nations, helping believers to better understand the basics of the Christian faith.
“I have been listening to Turning Point with Dr. David Jeremiah. I’m a Muslim that never read the Bible, but watching Dr. Jeremiah on TV made me very curious about this Holy Book and I’m searching for one so I can read it myself. I like that I can watch the programs on YouTube repeatedly because some of them are very profound and the knowledge is very new to me.” —Astrit, Kosovo

Opportunity Seized:2018
It’s because of your faithful prayers and giving that when Turning Point was presented an opportunity to take the Gospel to Indonesia—the world’s largest Muslim country—Dr. Jeremiah was able to step out in faith and say, “Yes!” In our first substantial outreach to a Pacific Island nation, Turning Point began broadcasting on both daily radio around Jakarta and on free-to-air secular television across the more-than-17,000-island nation in December 2018. Since then, we have been diligent in translating Bible study resources into Bahasa, with nine resources now available.

Opportunity Before Us:2022
As we stay focused on translating even more of Dr. Jeremiah’s radio programs and Bible resources into Bahasa, we are asking God for opportunities to air on additional radio and television outlets—allowing our broadcast ministry together to reach even more souls with the power of God’s Word.
“I am a Christian but felt my faith was not growing. I began listening to your program on the
radio and have since experienced change. I thank the Spirit of God for leading me to become a
better follower of Christ through the Turning Point program on Heartline Radio.”

Opportunity Seized:2016
When Dr. Jeremiah was presented the opportunity to begin broadcasting Turning Point Television in Iran in 2016, he jumped at the chance—and you jumped with him! In a country where following Jesus comes with the risk of jail or worse, nearly every Christian must attend church in their home. Together, we’re bringing church to them through Turning Point. Despite intense efforts by the Iranian government to suppress Christianity, our television program is training the church in Iran—which is growing at one of the fastest rates in the world!
Opportunity Before Us:2022
Because many citizens of Iran are becoming disillusioned with the government and with Islam, Iranians are more open now than ever to the Truth of the Bible. Opportunities to partner with a growing number of Farsi radio stations are also on the horizon, which would be an extension of our television programming. Though it’s not safe to mail our Farsi-language Bible study resources, we’re strategizing ways to distribute additional digital ministry resources on YouTube to help Iranian Christians grow in their faith. Your generosity is moving these efforts forward.
“I have been hungry to learn more about Christ and Christianity. I started watching Turning Point, seeking to know more about God. I was captivated by the teachings because they were so unlike the God I knew. After two months of watching the teachings of Dr. David Jeremiah and studying the Bible, I prayed to receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior.”

The four most-spoken languages in Israel are Hebrew, English, Russian, and Arabic. When Dr. Jeremiah received an opportunity to broadcast our program on Israeli television in Hebrew in April 2020, your faithfulness allowed him to seize it—and empowered Turning Point to finally reach all four main languages in Israel! Thank you for sharing Dr. Jeremiah’s heart for Israel and making it possible to take this huge step in reaching God’s chosen people with the Gospel.

We are just two years in, but God has much more for us to do in the Hebrew language! Together with your support, we plan to maintain our current Hebrew television broadcasts, seek out additional broadcast opportunities, and promote key Christian Bible study resources through our Hebrew YouTube page to continue reaching Israel for Christ.
“Thank you so much for your programs in Israel, and especially in Hebrew. It was so difficult for me to get my children to be interested in the Bible. Now, we can all learn from the Word of God by watching your wonderful program. Your program teaches my children the Bible and how to follow Jesus.” —Igor, Haifa

Opportunity Seized:2016
God opened the door in 2016 to reach the most-spoken language group in India: Hindi. Together with friends like you, Dr. Jeremiah answered this call by creating Turning Point Radio in Hindi...and then seized another great opportunity by beginning Hindi television! Since then, we launched a Hindi mobile ministry app in September 2017, and last year we began broadcasting the Gospel on one of the main secular Hindi television networks that reaches the Hindi-speaking world! Today, more than 85,000 have liked and subscribed to our Hindi Facebook and YouTube pages. God is so good.

Opportunity Before Us:2022
Please pray for us as God supplies opportunities to do even more in Hindi. Right now, India is becoming less and less welcoming to non-Hindu faiths. In the face of increasing persecution, Dr. Jeremiah is committed to continuing to equip our brothers and sisters in India with Bible Strong resources. To complement our television broadcasts, we’ll soon launch a Hindi ministry website with the ability to distribute daily e-devotions and to distribute print resources to equip the church of India. None of this could happen without your prayers and support.

Connect with our Igbo Outreach:
Opportunity Seized:2013
Dr. Jeremiah shares your heart to meet the greatest needs. That’s why he has been intentional not only to translate and produce resources in the most-widely-spoken languages, but also to seek out languages that do not have as many Christian resources. Igbo—one of the main languages spoken in Nigeria—was the first such “great need” language Turning Point pursued. Together, since July 2013, we’ve been reaching agrarian communities across Nigeria through an Igbo-language shortwave radio program every Monday through Friday.
Opportunity Before Us:2022
There is a dire need to reach souls in Nigeria, and we’re seizing greater opportunities there, thanks to you! Boko Haram, a terrorist organization, located in northeast Nigeria, has been terrorizing the people there for two decades. But Turning Point is fighting fear with hope—currently producing additional Igbo-language radio programs (notably Dr. Jeremiah’s Overcomer and Where Do We Go From Here? series) with the goal of equipping our fellow believers with the strength and power of God’s Word.
“Man of God, I listened to the Turning Point program this morning, and God touched my heart through the Word! I have decided to rededicate my life to Christ and need your guidance on how to live a victorious Christian life!”

Opportunity Seized:2011
The opportunity to begin reaching the Mandarin-speaking world with the Gospel first came to us in 2011 through a shortwave radio station from the island of Guam. Then in 2016—as China fully hit the smartphone boom—you and Turning Point pivoted our outreach and launched Mandarin television and digital broadcasts through our website and WeChat (a mega app with over 800 million users). And even as religious broadcasting restrictions have increased in China, your generosity has supported an increase in reach through additional digital platforms such as Telegram and Instagram. Currently, our Mandarin daily devotional is viewed over 100,000 times a month and our WeChat receives 7,500 monthly engagements in China.

Opportunity Before Us:2022
1.4 billion people are searching for God’s love and truth in China alone. While most Chinese people speak Mandarin, the form of Mandarin used in mainland China differs from that used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. Through your generous support for Turning Point, our plan is to begin dubbing Mandarin video content using voice talent from mainland China—which will be more accepted by the millions in China who have never heard the name of Jesus.

Connect with our Punjabi Outreach:
Opportunity Seized:2013
Together, you and Dr. Jeremiah seized the opportunity to begin Punjabi radio broadcasts in November 2013—our first language in India, the second-largest nation on earth by population. Broadcast throughout the state of Punjab and into Pakistan, this program has been a life source to many without an official church to attend.
Opportunity Before Us:2022
Punjabi-speaking people in India face a great need for strong Bible study resources. Often when someone receives Christ, we’ve found that they are then ostracized by their families and forced to leave home. Few churches exist to help these new Christians. To meet the needs of those desiring to grow in faith, your support for Turning Point is helping to seek Punjabi television opportunities where Dr. Jeremiah’s teaching can disciple believers and reach a whole new audience of men and women who would never step foot in a church...but could grow in Truth through television.
“I used to listen to your radio programs. Because of those programs, I trusted the Lord. Now I regularly watch Disha Parivartan (Turning Point) on TV with my whole family. Whatever I learn from your programs, I share with my friends and relatives in my village and surrounding area. Your program is a great blessing to me.” —Satpal, Punjab

When a Russian-speaking station based out of Kazakhstan approached Dr. Jeremiah in 2004 with an opportunity to broadcast Turning Point’s television program in Russia and the former Soviet Union nations, he was able to jump at the opportunity thanks to the faithfulness of our Turning Point family—people like you! Your support has allowed Dr. Jeremiah to strategically increase our broadcasts in Russian—blanketing the entire nation on several stations, as well as a local release on cable in Israel for the more than 1 million Russian-speaking Jewish people there.

Opportunity Before Us:2022
To increase Turning Point’s reach in ministering to millions of Russian-speaking people around the world, we’re preparing to launch Turning Point on Vkontakte—the Russian equivalent to Facebook, and the most popular source to receive digital information and news. With a growing culture of distrust, we must reach Russian-speaking people with His Truth on the streaming platforms they are using—both in Russia, as well as the diaspora across Europe and North America. Your partnership makes it possible to seize this opportunity!

Opportunity Seized:2001
The very first language opportunity our Turning Point family seized together was Spanish—the second-most-spoken language in North America. Dr. Jeremiah felt burdened to provide the Gospel and solid Bible teaching to Spanish-speaking people, and in January 2001, Momento Decisivo Radio was born. God gave us an amazing opportunity to begin broadcasting in Spanish, and—together with faithful friends like you—we took a step of faith and followed His leading.
Twenty years later, Momento Decisivo broadcasts on more than 375 stations and in 22 countries. We’ve also increased our Spanish outreach in the digital world by launching our Spanish ministry app (which currently has over 72,000 downloads) in 2015 and expanding our Spanish website last year. We’ve distributed more than 15,000 Your Greatest Turning Point new believer kits to those responding to Momento Decisivo programing.

Opportunity Before Us:2022
We remain burdened to bring strong Bible teaching to the world’s Spanish-speaking people. Currently, we’re releasing Momento Decisivo’s daily radio broadcasts and gearing up to reach even further in Spanish programming with Momento Decisivo Television—set to release nationwide and in key Latin America markets beginning September 11, 2022.
And because Christmas is the most celebrated holiday in the Hispanic culture, Why the Nativity? will be released in both English and Spanish this Christmas—a direct result of your faithful prayers and giving!
“I discovered Momento Decisivo in His perfect timing. I was facing a divorce, mistrust, betrayal, and discouragement. I discovered your radio program online and was blown away. To know He knows me by name and loves me brought me to tears. Thanks for doing God’s will and sharing His message all over the world.” —Ana, Argentina

Following a trip to Hyderabad, India, Dr. Jeremiah felt called to reach the Telegu-speaking people with the Gospel. Thanks to your generous support, Turning Point launched its Telegu Facebook and YouTube pages and began broadcasting in Telegu on television in November 2018. Three years later, at a time when it was nearly impossible for Christian television programs to air on secular networks in India, we seized another opportunity—broadcasting on India’s most-watched secular Telegu television channel in 2021!

Opportunity Before Us:2022
One of the greatest ministry needs for India’s Telegu-speaking people is for Christian resources focused on discipleship! To meet this need, Turning Point will create digital and printed resources that push churches to move from providing believers with “milk,” to providing them with more substantial “meat.” Fueled by your prayers and generosity, Dr. Jeremiah’s material will be translated to train the church planters and pastors across the state of Telangana, India, so that the church can grow in their knowledge of the Word.

Opportunity Seized:2022
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022, Dr. Jeremiah felt burdened for the Ukrainian people and began praying about what we could do to insert the hope of God’s Word into the pain and suffering of the crisis. Doors began to open for Turning Point to take advantage of existing broadcast partnerships and begin airing Turning Point Television in the Ukrainian language—not only in Ukraine, but for the Ukrainian refugees outside the country too. By God’s grace, and thanks to your prayers and giving, Turning Point began ministering in Ukrainian on Easter Sunday (April 17) of this year!
Opportunity Before Us:2022
Pray with us for the people of Ukraine and for ways we might expand our reach to these hurting people. We’re moving forward in setting up a Ukrainian YouTube page and producing printed Bible study materials to aid those who have suffered so much. Long after this war is over, Turning Point is committed to continuing our broadcasts in Ukraine and the surrounding region.
“I hear the bombs going off, windows shaking, and screams from the neighbors in my apartment building. God is our strength! I will not fear. I know where I am going, so if I die, I will meet my Savior that much sooner. I really like Dr. Jeremiah and how he unfolds the truths of the Bible. I tell all my neighbors to watch them. Sometimes they come together in our apartment to watch and talk about them. We need God in this country.” —Vladimir, Kiev

Opportunity Seized:2005
Turning Point Television began airing in Australia in 2005. After many years of “waiting in the wilderness,” Turning Point for God of Australia officially opened its office outside of Sydney just months ago, on March 1, 2022. Within weeks, and now with a local presence, we were able to seize two incredible television slots on two nationwide secular networks.
Opportunity Before Us:2022
Fueled by your strong support, Turning Point is pursuing further digital and radio ministry opportunities.
Turning Point in New Zealand:
Opportunity Seized:2004
God opened the door in New Zealand, and we stepped through together! Turning Point aired our first television program on Shine TV in May 2004. More doors opened, this time on secular television, in 2013. From there, we began airing Turning Point on the radio over Star FM in 2016.
Opportunity Before Us:2022
Please keep praying! We are diligently pursuing digital outreach in New Zealand and additional secular television outreach opportunities—your prayers and support will make a difference.
Turning Point in Canada:
Opportunity Seized:1997
Our first opportunity in Canada came in September 1997 as we began radio broadcasts in Edmonton, Alberta. God opened many more doors thereafter: to take another step of faith and begin airing Turning Point Television on Vision TV in 2003...to launch our Canada app in 2016...and to create our Canada website in 2019, as well as expand to daily television on Faith and Joy TV.
Opportunity Before Us:2022
French! Turning Point broadcasts will soon be translated into French—Canada’s other major language—and will begin airing in Quebec this fall. Pursuing digital and secular television in Canada will follow, thanks to your prayers and giving.
Turning Point in the United Kingdom:
Opportunity Seized:2002
Turning Point began broadcasting on Trans World Radio in the United Kingdom in December 2002. God allowed us to further our ministry there by opening up an opportunity to release our television program on UCB TV in 2006. Launching our UK mobile app in 2016 was another thrilling opportunity seized—along with broadcasting daily on Trinity Broadcasting Network UK, which began in July 2021.
Opportunity Before Us:2022
Thanks to your prayers and giving, Turning Point is poised and ready to seize the next opportunity in the UK. Please join us in asking God to reveal these next steps as we look for additional television time and digital streaming opportunities.
