Dear Partner in ministry, For almost 70 years, It Is Written has been producing and airing television programs. That means, every year we invest significant funds to purchase television time and create programs for the purpose of reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We do our best to make appealing programs, and experts tell us we are succeeding at that. This year, It Is Written won 11 Telly Awards for numerous programs including our weekly flagship program and our Spanish-language program, Escrito Está. I am proud of my team for their excellence, even though we don’t make programs to win awards. We make them to win souls. When It Is Written began, we aired one program, viewed in one country, in a single language. Today, It Is Written produces numerous programs. In addition to the It Is Written program that has aired continually since 1956, we air Line Upon Line (our Bible Q&A program), In The Word (featuring sermons), Conversations (fascinating conversations with a wide array of interesting people), Sabbath School and more, including Escrito Está and other Spanish-language programs. Our media production department is constantly working to create and release programs that share the good news of the everlasting gospel worldwide. The reason for It Is Written’s inception was to increase evangelistic effectiveness. And that continues to this day. During our recently-conducted meetings in Idaho, we met a woman I’ll call Audrey. While it’s not uncommon to meet people at evangelistic meetings who have no knowledge at all of the subjects being presented,
