We’re excited to announce that we have launched a new
3ABN Russian Channel, featuring 24-hour Christian programming produced in
Russia! This channel will be
distributed via the Internet on MOPCWeb and the MOIPTVT
system.
“3ABN is excited to be able to reach out to our
Russian-speaking brothers and sisters around the world,” says 3ABN president,
Jim Gilley. “Russia alone has a population of over
142 million souls that need the gospel. And the Ukraine, where I
have spent a good deal of time ministering, has a population of nearly 47
million, many of whom speak Russian. There are also many Russian-speaking
communities around the world that would benefit from this great opportunity to
hear the message of Jesus in their own language.”
Julia
Outkina, the director of 3ABN’s Russian studios
in Nizhny Novgorod is overjoyed. “It’s been a
dream of ours for many years to have a television channel of our own. We’re
simply thrilled to begin to bring the good news of salvation through Jesus
Christ to some of the 300 million Russian-speaking people around the world.
We’ve had to overcome many technical obstacles in launching the channel, but
through new technology and a lot of prayer, the 3ABN Russian Channel has been
born and dedicated to the Lord.”
The channel is initially being offered only via the
Internet through the MOPCWeb website (www.mopcweb.com) and also by MOIPTV
(www.moiptv.net), a system that uses a set top box and high-speed Internet to
provide a high-quality picture to the TV set. Although relatively new, the
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) technology is quickly gaining popularity
across the United
States and the world as an alternative to
cumbersome satellite dishes and regulations.
Moses Primo, CEO of Media Opportunities IPTV,
says, "Media Opportunities is a company created to help ministries, facilitating
new opportunities in the media business. My goal was to use the talents God has
giving me and make it available to further spread the gospel. When I learned
that there are over 300 million Russian-speaking people around the world, I
realized that they live in closed communities that only speak languages spoken
around the ex-Soviet Union countries, and they are not being evangelized with
all the material 3ABN has in English.
“The MOIPTV system and MOPCWEB can literally make the
good news of Jesus Christ available in their own language anywhere in the world,
through a live streaming channel, as well as by Video On Demand files. All they
need is a high-speed Internet connection, and they can be ministered to 24/7.
“This Russian channel is my pilot project, and by the
Lord’s grace, as it becomes a success, my dream is to use the same technology to
open new channels in many different languages around the world. It is my prayer
that Media Opportunities may bring Jesus to all the languages that want to hear
about His truths. I believe this can be a part of the fulfillment of Matt.
24:14.”
