Turning Point Ministries Extends Grace Through Community Support and New Entertainment Initiatives
Evangelizing Through Action: Turning Point Ministries' Community Outreach
Turning Point Ministries, under the leadership of Dr. David Jeremiah, is expanding its influence beyond media, diving into direct community action. Established with a mission to deliver the timeless Gospel message, the ministry is making impactful strides, especially during trying times for local communities.
A Call to Support Local Communities
As the founder and host of Turning Point, Dr. Jeremiah emphasized the importance of being the "hands and feet of Christ" right in one’s own community. This spring, the organization has initiated several community outreach programs aimed at supporting those affected by recent disasters, notably the devastating wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and Eaton areas.
Dr. Jeremiah pointed out, "While we’re not a disaster relief organization, we can contribute in meaningful ways that address spiritual needs along with physical ones." Understanding the unique challenges faced by locals, Turning Point catered its support by providing essential spiritual resources in the form of Bibles. So far, they have distributed an impressive 2,468 Bibles to churches, Christian schools, and individuals impacted by the fires.
Partnering for a Greater Cause
Furthermore, Turning Point has joined forces with the Wonder Project to promote their new series, House of David, premiering soon on Amazon Prime. As entertainment companies gradually embrace faith and family-centric narratives, Turning Point seeks to encourage wider industry support for projects that align with Biblical truths. This collaboration aims not just to entertain, but also to inspire viewers to engage more deeply with their faith.
Recently, Turning Point hosted an exclusive screening of the first two episodes of House of David for industry leaders, pastors, and select media outlets. This gathering allowed attendees to witness the quality content being created within the realm of Christian entertainment, reinforcing the idea that it is possible to produce compelling works that are also spiritually enriching.
During the screening, David Michael Jeremiah, the president and CEO of Turning Point, expressed his eagerness for audiences to delve into the content, saying, "We want people to be encouraged and enriched to explore their Bibles and pursue deeper Biblical knowledge."
Engaging the Christian Community
In addition to the screening, House of David has been featured in Turning Points, the monthly magazine that Dr. Jeremiah publishes. He has coupled these promotional efforts with a sermon series focusing on the life of King David at Shadow Mountain Community Church, where he serves as pastor. "It’s remarkable how these efforts align; I was prepared to teach on David's life when we connected with the Wonder Project to embark on this collaboration," remarked Dr. Jeremiah.
Turning Point Ministries' dual approach—caring for local disaster-affected communities while also venturing into the entertainment space—hopes to inspire the larger Christian community. They are calling on fellow believers to support neighbors in need and to lend their voices to illuminate faith-based narratives within the industry.
In doing so, Turning Point scouts for avenues to foster significant discussions that align with their mission of expanding God’s kingdom on earth. Dr. David Jeremiah remains committed to his vision, with over four decades of dedicated service, showcasing a dynamic reach through various innovative mediums including radio, television, and educational programs like Prophecy Academy and Overcomer.
Turning Point Ministries, founded in 1982, is more than just a media organization; it operates as a non-profit dedicated to sharing the unchanging Word of God with audiences around the world. The organization thrives on the support of its patrons, driven by a mission to transform lives through the Gospel and deepen spiritual understanding across generations, affirming that they are "just getting started."
Dr. Jeremiah continues to lead with urgency and purpose as Turning Point Ministries forges into both community support and creative outreach, lighting the way for Christ's message through resilient faith and compelling stories that resonate with believers and seekers alike.
