3ABN Russia's website - Articles: Special Projects to Support

Every week 3ABN receives hundreds of letters and none of them goes unanswered. We send people free books, Bibles, and Bible study guides.

Currently, 3ABN's programs are carried on over 150 television channels and 45 radio stations across Russia and neighboring countries. To equip those networks with our programs, we mail out some 50 DVDs every week without any access fees having to be paid.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t substantial costs involved. Recording original programs, editing and sending them to our numerous TV and radio stations can get expensive. We would deeply appreciate any kind of support you would consider sending us so we may continue to broadcast for the glory of God. Below are the projects that desperately need financial support.

3ABN Programs Distribution Project

With 3ABN Internet Channel currently available to help Russian-speaking people learn of Jesus and change their lives, we aim to give publicity to the Christian programming to 600 churches across Russia and neighboring countries. The advertizing materials we use to achieve this goal include DVDs and colorful catalogs. To date, we have sent 55 such sets to Belorussia and 35 ones to the Far-East Mission. The amount we spent on the ad materials totaled 28,800 rubles. But the whole amount we need to have to complete this project approximates 192,000 rubles.

We know the Lord takes every opportunity available including television to save as people as possible. Thank you for supporting this large-scale project!

Return-Of-The-Prodigal-Son Youth Project

Creating a project like this is one of the best dreams we have ever had. Underlying the programs is the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Told by Jesus 2,000 years ago, the parable is still relevant nowadays. The 21st-century consumption-oriented society resembles the prodigal son who lived a meaningless life after leaving his father.

By sharing their experiences, feelings, doubts, questions, and answers, the guests on the programs - young people aged 20 to 30 - argue there is a different life to live. Each program is actually a story of the prodigal son's return to his heavenly Father. While contemporary society plants questionable values in young people's minds, we are offering them a different reality.

As a viewer, you may contribute to the project that is in progress now. We need some 45,000 rubles to create a new set and a rubber-based light-hued carpet.

Enhancing Christian Broadcasting Project

Three Angels television has been broadcasting in Russia 17 years. During this period of time, we have produced over 6,000 spiritual, social, educational, and children's programs. We have given away more than 9,000 books and New Life Bible study guides to our viewers. Hundreds of people from different countries send 3ABN letters giving us thanks and encouraging to continue the ministry for the Lord's glory.

All this time the network exists solely on donations.

Up until recent times we couldn't have believed that launching our own 24-hour Internet channel would ever be possible. Today, however, this dream has come true: 3ABN Russia programming is available online 24 hours 7 days a week! And all this became possible due to hard work and financial support of dedicated Christians! Our Internet channel broadcasts the life-saving message to millions of Russian-speaking people around the world.

Every penny that we receive is invested in making and broadcasting Christian programming across the globe. In particular, we buy new television equipment to improve the quality of our programs. One of our primary goals is to enhance Christian broadcasting via cable networks. In our prayers we also ask God to help us launch our own satellite channel to reach more viewers. Whatever we do we do it for one single purpose - to preach the Gospel.

We deeply appreciate your support of our ministry!

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)

Ten Commandments and Antichrist's Plans

With world-wide disasters and catastrophes increasing both in number and intensity from year to year, people understand that this world is shaky and look for some standard to live by. That standard does exist and it is found in the Holy Scriptures in the form of God's Ten Commandments. As clear as God's commandments are, there have always been forces trying to conceal the plain meaning of God's Law from people. Ten Commandments and Antichrist's Plans offers an in-depth study of the Bible prophecies in line with the Early Church fathers' interpretation. The book unveils current popular beliefs that are not based on the Bible and brings readers in harmony with God's Word.

The network has translated the book into Russian and published 3,000 copies. However, all of them have been given away for free to people who ordered them or to Bible students that completed 3ABN's New Life Bible study course.

Once we have funds available, we will publish more copies of the book. If you feel impressed by the Holy Spirit to do so, please donate to the project.

Social Project "InDependence"

The power of alcohol and drugs is not absolute - there is Someone who has more power than they do!
With members of Alcoholics Anonymous as guests, 3ABN's InDependence programs tell the truth about how disastrous these addictions have become in Russia.

Upfront interviews with former addicts give current addicts and their family members hope, displaying to them the wonder of God's power.

To get a sense of what InDependence is all about, download one of the programs.

To date, 26 amazing interviews have been captured but because of the high cost of editing we have completed only the first five programs.

If you are concerned about the threats posed to society by those encumbered with addictions, you may feel impressed to donate to the project. You will help cover the taping and editing costs of the remaining programs.

Children's Programs "Really"

With breathtaking opportunities to travel to the stars, draw pictures with cooked semolina, or see how a fire extinguisher works, every program is a revelation – not only of the Earth's mysteries, but also of God as Friend and Savior! This is a hope that will be cherished by little viewers today and in the future!

"When asked what kind of book a children's book should be, I immediately answer, 'It should be good!' I assure you I have given much thought to this question but been unable to find any other answer."
Astrid Lindgren

We agree with this opinion of the famous writer. Our children's programs are more costly and time-consuming of all that we tape. While it may be easier and cheaper to make them simpler, there is a reason we don’t. They may be the only way for many children to learn of God's love and to accept Christ in their early years. Should the Holy Spirit impress you to donate, you would be helping to cover the very expensive - but very worthwhile - taping costs.
