Turning Point in Albanian:
Connect with our Albanian Outreach:
Opportunity Seized:2021
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!
Sample Albanian Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
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 heard Dr. Jeremiah for the first time two years ago on Radio 7. Since then, I have been watching regularly on TV every week and listening on the radio. At that moment, I was going through a very hard time after the loss of my mother. Living in a foreign country with no other family around me made the loss harder to endure. The grief took control of me to the point that I lost any desire to live. It was in that moment that the Lord used Turning Point’s program to truly turn my attention to Him. The teaching of Dr. Jeremiah healed my heart and helped me see light again at the end of my dark tunnel."

Turning Point in Arabic:
Connect with our Arabic Outreach:
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.
Sample Arabic Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
After more than a decade of broadcasting Arabic subtitled programs across the Middle East, we recently were able to begin dubbing our television programs in Arabic so viewers can hear the programs in their own language. This has been well received and our engagement on YouTube and Facebook is growing.
The recent release of Why The Nativity? also has a huge potential to introduce many people across the Middle East to Christ around Christmas. Please pray God uses these Arabic-language resources to bring many to a saving knowledge of Christ.
"The Lord has used Dr. David Jeremiah to encourage me and help me grow in my faith. I wish I could write in English to send him a personal message. I am so thankful to Turning Point for making these programs available in Arabic."
— Iven, Egypt
Turning Point in Bahasa Indonesian:
Connect with our Bahasa Outreach:
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.
Sample Bahasa Indonesian Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
As we stay focused on translating even more of Dr. Jeremiah’s content for radio, television, and e-book distribution 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.
We are also nearing the launch of both our Why The Nativity? film in Bahasa and a dedicated Bahasa website/blog. Please pray God brings the right people and resources to help make these goals a reality.
"I am a Christian, but I do not feel confident even in praying. I recently began listening to your program on the radio. I called in and told the team about my life and my struggle in following Jesus. I was guided and taught how to pray. Since then, I have experienced many changes in my life. I know it is the work of the Holy Spirit leading me to follow Christ. Thank you for your radio program!"

Turning Point in Farsi:
Connect with our Farsi Outreach:
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!
Sample Farsi Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
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. Outside of Iran, we are helping to provide our Farsi content to a few Farsi radio stations and Bible schools.
Though it’s not safe to mail our Farsi-language Bible study resources to Iran, engagement on our Farsi YouTube page continues to grow each day. This Christmas, we will launch Why The Nativity? in Farsi. Please pray with us for God to continue encouraging and equipping His followers throughout Iran and for many to accept Him as their Lord and Savior through our Why The Nativity? outreaches this Christmas.
"I watched the Turning Point program at a friend’s house and took the number and called later privately ask how to become a Christian. After praying to receive Christ as my Lord, I purchased a Satellite dish so I can watch all the programs and learn more about Jesus. I am very happy after praying. I feel so light, happy, and blessed. This the first time that I have experienced so much Joy in my life! Praise the Lord!

Turning Point in French:
Opportunity Seized:2016
Turning Point Radio programs began airing on several stations in French throughout Quebec in January of 2023. Reaching parts of Montreal, the broadcasts can reach a potential audience of over 8 million people.
Opportunity Before Us:
Quebec is regarded as the “least churched” part of North America. While historically Quebec was originally known for being largely Roman Catholic, in the last few years there has been a decline in people that profess Christianity as their religion. More people are turning towards other religions or choosing not to be affiliated with any religion. Please join us in prayer that God will use these French Turning Point programs to have much impact in Canada, especially in Quebec with our French speaking brothers and sisters.
Turning point has been a tremendous blessing for me and my partner. We came across it three years ago and life has never been the same for us. The programs have always made absolute sense in shaping mindsets and driving out false doctrines in this latter times and all I learn from here, I endeavor to share and give to the people around me.

Turning Point in Hebrew:
Connect with our Hebrew Outreach:
Opportunity Seized:2020
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.
Sample Hebrew Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
Our support for Israel remains stronger now than ever. Together with your provision and prayers, 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.
"My husband was an orthodox jew, and was abusive. Completely alone, I turned on the TV one night and saw a program with Dr. Jeremiah. It calmed my soul. His way of explaining things and the interesting topics captivated me and offered me a reprieve from my pain. Week after week, I sought solace in these programs... Read More I dared not tell my husband that I was beginning to believe in this Jesus. One night I forgot to turn off the TV as I was putting our children to bed, and he came home. I came into the room to see him in tears watching Turning Point. We spoke for many hours that night. We began watching together each week. Finally, he said to me that he believed that Jesus is the Messiah and we both prayed together for salvation. We are still learning what it means to be Christians in Israel, but God has changed his heart. He loves me like I could have never imagined. He cares for our children and even told his father and mother that he thinks Jesus is the Messiah. Thank you."

Turning Point in Hindi:
Connect with our Hindi Outreach:
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.
Sample Hindi Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
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’ve launched Hindi daily e-devotions and soon plan to launch a Hindi ministry website. We have begun partnering with local churches across the country to promote Why The Nativity? Link to at Christmas. None of this could happen without your prayers and support.
"Praise the Lord! God sent today's message for me. I have never visited your channel before, but I saw this message on my feed and saved it to listen to today. This is the first time I have had such a strong sense of faith. Thank you to everyone who makes these videos and makes them available to us. Thank you to God's servant. May God bless you all!"
— Eamy, India
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. To date, we’ve seen over 3,600 people give their lives to Christ through this outreach.
Opportunity Before Us:
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 over two decades. But Turning Point is fighting fear with hope—equipping key partners on the ground in Nigeria with the truth from God’s Word. Please fervently pray for our brave brothers and sisters in Nigeria, who risk their lives for Christ on a daily basis.
“Pastor, I accidentally tuned into Turning Point on the radio, and I heard the Word of God as I never before. I gave my life to Christ and now have inward joy! God bless you sir, for being the instrument God used to change my life. I am grateful!”

Turning Point in Mandarin:
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.
Sample Mandarin Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
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, we are targeting both mainland China and Chinese-speakers who live outside of China with Bible Strong content on the key digital platforms they engage with most. We also plan 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.
"Dear Pastor, thank you for your message! Everything you said has reached my heart. I struggle with temptation. Thank God for allowing me to hear you. Every word you said deeply touched my heart and helped me to understand that I can rely on Christ to help me with temptation. There are times I fail and have doubt. Thank you, Pastor, for giving me hope and showing me the way. Please pray for me!"

Turning Point in Punjabi:
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:
Punjabi-speaking people in India face a great need for 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 establish a Punjabi television broadcast throughout northwest India. This outreach will allow Dr. Jeremiah’s teaching to 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 love your program Disha Parivartan (Turning Point) very much. Before I started watching your program, I did not know much about faith or of God's plans for my life. But as I started watching your program regularly, it has increased my faith. Now I am growing in the Lord Jesus Christ and have started living according to Biblical values”
—Karan, Patiala (India)
Turning Point in Russian:
Connect with our Russian Outreach:
Opportunity Seized:2004
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.
Sample Russian Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
As conflicts involving Russia drag on, 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 social platforms they are using—both in Russia, as well as the diaspora across Europe and North America. This Christmas, we will also launch Why The Nativity? in Russian. Your partnership makes it possible to seize these opportunities!
"Watching Turning Point became a lifeline for me during a challenging health crisis. Struggling with a severe illness, I found comfort and strength through the program's messages of faith and healing. I gave my life to Jesus watching these programs and received peace in my heart."
— Svetlana, Chelyabinsk
Turning Point in Spanish:
Connect with our Spanish Outreach:
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.
Now, more than twenty years later, Momento Decisivo broadcasts on more than 375 stations in nearly every Spanish speaking country on earth. We also launched Spanish television in the fall of 2022 on several secular and Christian stations across the United States and Latin America. Our Spanish outreach in the digital world is growing by leaps and bounds with a vibrant Spanish YouTube page, social media presence, and mobile app approaching 90,000 downloads.
Sample Spanish Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:
Momento Decisivo is dedicated to spreading Biblical teachings to Spanish-speaking communities globally. Through daily radio and weekly television broadcasts, we strive to broaden our audience in Latin America. This region, characterized by spiritual diversity, requires steadfast Biblical guidance amid cultural complexities. Leveraging radio, TV, and digital platforms, our ministry endeavors to extend the Gospel's reach to every Spanish-speaking individual and household, nurturing spiritual development throughout Latin America and beyond
"Truly, the word of God is living water and Momento Decisivo gives us material whether it's on radio, television or simply reading the daily devotional. All these outlets feed our spirit every day and fill us with unbreakable faith in Christ Jesus."

Opportunity Before Us:
This Christmas Why The Nativity will release in Tamil. We are expecting great things from this outreach as people across Tamil Nadu come together at Christmas. Our YouTube and Facebook platforms receive daily messages of appreciation for the delivery of Biblically sound content that is of much encouragement to believers in India. Pray this exciting growth continues across India!
"I am thankful to God for giving me the opportunity to support Dr. Jeremiah's ministry in a very small way. I live in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The seven mile drive to work every day takes about 45 minutes each way. We are a crowded country. I usually listen to Dr. Jeremiah's message on the way back from work. May God bless the ministry of Dr. Jeremiah and continue to keep him grounded on His word."
— Unknown, Sri Lanka
Opportunity Seized:2018
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!
Sample Telegu Broadcast
Opportunity Before Us:2022
One of the greatest ministry needs for India’s Telegu-speaking people is Christian resources focused on discipleship! To meet this need, Turning Point will produce short video clips in Telugu and promote our daily Telugu e-devotional content, which is delivered for free every morning by email. Fueled by your prayers and generosity, Dr. Jeremiah’s material will be translated to train church planters and pastors across the state of Telangana, India, so that the church can grow in their knowledge of the Word. .
"I thank Dr. David Jeremiah for Turning Point TV Programmes and delivering the messages. Sir, your word has become a turning point in my life. After being married for four years, three months ago my wife died suddenly. I thought there was no God, I thought my prayers were not heard. I was depressed and scared. I thought my life was over. I couldn't bear to live alone but unexpectedly I saw your programme on TV. Thank you for encouraging me and strengthening me with the word you gave through the Turning Point program. Please pray for me."
— Solomon, India
Turning Point in Ukrainian:
Connect with our Ukrainian Outreach:
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:
Pray with us for the people of Ukraine and for ways we might expand our outreach to these hurting people. We are committed to maintaining television broadcasts throughout the country, providing hope in many areas where there is very little.
Why The Nativity? will also be released in Ukrainian this Christmas. As we partner with local churches in Ukraine, pray for wisdom to best support their outreaches and help people find Christ this Christmas.
"Watching Turning Point, I witnessed a huge change in my family. My parents, who had been distant from faith, found salvation through Dr. Jeremiah's powerful messages. The transformation in their lives has rippled throughout our family, strengthening our bonds and inspiring me to live out my faith more intentionally."
— Kateryna, Ukraine

Turning Point in Australia:
Opportunity Seized:2005
Turning Point Television began airing in Australia in 2005. In early 2022, our local Turning Point for God of Australia office opened outside of Sydney. Since then, God has opened up hard-to-secure airtime on secular television channels and the ministry is growing quickly.
Opportunity Before Us:
Fueled by your strong support, Turning Point is pursuing further digital, television, 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:
Later this year, our New Zealand supporters will be able to reach out to a local office, access a local NZ website, and transact in New Zealand Dollars for the first time. Pure gifts made to The Turning Point for God of New Zealand Charitable Trust will also be tax deductible as allowed by law. We are excited to see ministry opportunities across New Zealand continue to grow!
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:
Besides continuing our outreach to French speakers in Quebec, we also will be promoting other foreign language resources and broadcasts to the Chinese, Indian, and Arabic communities across Canada.
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:
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 traditional media and digital opportunities to reach people for Christ.
