TODAY WITH GOD SERIES  

Dallas Texas – March 31, 2008  - Crosstalk International signed an agreement with CNL (New Life Channel™) to provide the television series Today with God for broadcast throughout the former Soviet Union in the Russian language.   

“It is such a privilege and honor for Today with God to reach the airwaves in Russian,” says Weiss. “God has truly blessed this series with wide acceptance around the world by television programmers and viewers, and it is our hope that many will come to Christ through the broadcast of this program.”

Today with God is an episodic television series that was recently awarded the “2008 NRB Media Award for Best Television Teaching Program of the Year” by the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB). Hosted by Dr. Randy Weiss of the renowned television program, Crosstalk, the series brings the Bible to life on the screen through dramatic re-enactments of the Gospel message as found in the biblical books of Matthew, John and Acts. Viewers are entertained and educated about the "big picture" of God's unmistakable plan for the world of today. Weiss serves as a “tour guide” for the series by offering historical perspectives and explanations without denominational bias. Film production from wonderful “Old World” locations is complemented by the commentary from Weiss filmed on location in Israel.

Today with God is broadcast across Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Asia, North Africa, Australia and the United States. Foreign language versions are in continual production. To date, episodes of the program have been developed in seven languages including Arabic, Russian, Spanish, Dutch, Hindi, Telegu, and Chinese.  More than a dozen other languages are in process at this time.
