Focus on Faith Podcast: Recent Episodes
Tele-Missions International
In the mid 1960’s Tele-Missions International recognized television as a means of reaching multitudes with the good news of Jesus Christ. Members of our staff talked with many television station owners, managers and program directors and in every case they were told… “Come up with a program that is totally void of gimmicks and appeals. Come up with a program that can stand on its own. Come up with a program that people will want to watch … a program with impact!”We prayed much about the matter and, as always, God gave the answer. Tele-Missions began producing a unique series of 15-minute films for television known as “Focus On Faith.” Each “Focus on Faith” film features exciting action footage along withan in-depth interview with a prominent man or woman who has committed his or her life to Jesus Christ and is eager to share the results of that commitment.
