The weekly T.V. show produced by the KAM team for Czech Television just finished its first season with a final episode that aired right after Christmas and was focused on the Meaning of Life. These first 17 episodes have been viewed by between 120,000 and 170,000 people a week, and are generating lots of discussion and response. As near as we can tell, close to 300 evangelistic small groups are meeting around the shows, and these groups are touching close to 3000 people a week. Just about every week we hear of someone coming to Christ through this show!
Czech Television has asked us to continue on until the end of the school year, which means another 26 episodes between now and the end of June. Pray for the production team which is now working double time to create these additional episodes, and for the turbo team who is working to connect even more small groups into the evangelistic campaign. This is an unprecedented opportunity, but is also very spiritually demanding.
One of the things that has surprised us is the overwhelmingly positive response we have received from the churches. All together, 18 denominations are using the show as part of their evangelistic strategy! The week before Christmas, KAM received an award from the Ecumenical council of Churches for Exit 316. This group of representatives from all of the denominations in the Czech Republic named Exit 316 as the ecumenical event of the year. Praise God for these open doors!
Pray also for the Kompas team in Slovakia as they work on plans to broadcast Exit 316 next fall. Because of the similarity in language, the show can be used there in Slovakia with only minor modifications.
