May is a moment of celebration for many people for many different reasons. But, for all of us at VFNtv, it is a time to remember the moment that God called us to broadcast on air. This May we celebrate five years! We didn’t know anything about what to do when God called us out. But, by listening to His voice and following His voice, here we are amazed at all the Lord has done.
It was also through the leading of the Lord that we started a 24-hour prayer watch, with 8 three hour watches, every Monday. Since 2009, we have been faithfully carrying out this 24-hour offering to the Lord. It was during these watches that the Lord spoke to Greg to begin VFNtv. Within seven days of that initial word from the Lord, God had provided not only the wisdom on how to make this a reality, but also the needed finances to begin. As birth has a time of walking things out, the first program was 120 mins of a single breath and the exhale didn’t appear to finally be released until about halfway through the program. Greg and Pat had their own humorous interactions in those beginning days. Now five years later, God has matured us from radio, and now to television where we are on the Gulf Coast with WHBR and CTN broadcasting to over 1.4 million people.
Since God has called us out to begin VFNtv, He has also given us the wisdom to create the VFNTorch. There is only so much that you can see and hear watching television, or listening to on an audio broadcast. The VFNTorch connects all the dots of past discussions with Related Articles as well as current resources with Related Content. To date, there are now over 6,000 individual posts on the VFNTorch that give a depth of resources and connected conversations that give our audiences a depth of information to research even further on many of the topics that we discuss. Everything that we are saying and discussed is backed up with sources and references so that you can be educated and informed about what you are sharing with others.
When others would be simply repeating a statement or a quote, you can actually be educated and knowledgeable with what you’re speaking about because you know the source. This is also why we have the “Connect the Dots” Segments on VFNtv. Many of the topics that we are discussing, the Lord has been speaking and revealing to us for many years. If another source is simply talking about the news of today, you can see the continual story that has led up to what we are now seeing in the world and understand how we got here. Secular media is missing the DNA of the story.
God has also given us the wisdom to launch the VFNtv App. You can download it for free on the iTunes App Store, the Google Play Store, and the Windows App. Similar to when VFNtv was birthed, the app was birthed during a prayer watch. When Greg was on watch, he suddenly found himself sitting at his desk, looking at an app that was created in Tel-Aviv Israel. There are literally no limitations when it comes to VFNtv.
We have also created the Torch Newsletter that is sent out electronically, via email, every week. The Torch Newsletter captures the best of the best of what was covered in the VFNTorch every week. Images, Descriptions, and Audios are all brought together in one clear and simple email. All of this content is gathered each and every day for you, and we do all that we can to provide it on a myriad of platforms so that you can view it in a way that works best for you.
There is so much information in our culture that we should be careful what we are listening and paying attention to. It is one thing to have information and it is another to have wisdom. In all that we share, we seek to share information that lines up Biblically with practical applications so that you have wisdom for the times we are living in. So many profess to know information, but very few have wisdom. As an example, those that are becoming citizens of the America know more about the nation than citizens born in America know. Which is why we had The U.S. Citizenship Test on VFNtv. You can listen to this humorous, yet insightful series of broadcasts and learn from our own humiliation as we learn out loud and take the test that every individual applying for citizenship in America must take.
God has continually expanded our wings as we have grown in the realm of Social Media with our Facebook page. Over 100,000 people have connected with us on Facebook. We are also excited about our new Twitter page that we have begun. Our most recent addition, is our YouTube page that was launched just over a month ago. It is so exciting to see all that the Lord has spoken to us about and given us the wisdom, and most importantly, the needed grace to walk out in order to encourage those that we are reaching. See the full conversation about what God has done in the last five years, as well as additional prophetic words about what He has called us to do, and so much more. Greg and John shared in this segment.
