ORLANDO, Mar. 26 /Christian Newswire/ -- It's time for Trinity Broadcasting Network's annual Spring Praise-a-Thon, and this year's event will include a broadcast venue new to many TBN viewers. In addition to daily broadcasts from TBN's flagship studios in Costa Mesa, California, the week-long Praise-a-Thon will include live updates and segments from Orlando, Florida's Holy Land Experience, one of America's most unique and inspirational family attractions.
Holy Land Experience, which has been owned and operated by TBN since 2007, is both an interactive theme park and biblical history museum, which brings visitors face-to-face with the sites, sounds, and feel of the ancient Bible world. "We're excited to host Praise-a-Thon in such a remarkable and faith-building atmosphere," said Paul Crouch Jr., TBN's Chief Executive. "And we're looking forward to giving our TBN partners around the world a little taste of what they'll enjoy when they come to visit Holy land Experience in person."
Praise-a-Thon always brings out the best and brightest in Christian music and ministry, and this Spring's event is no exception. Those appearing at the Praise-a-Thon via the HLE site and TBN's home studios will be Paul Crouch Sr. and Jan Crouch, Benny Hinn, Pastor Paula White, Pastor Steve Munsey, Rev. Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant, Pastor Jentezen Franklin, Pastor Dwight Thompson, Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Jesse Duplantis, Bishop Eddie Long, Pastor Larry Huch, Karen Wheaton, Judy Jacobs, Jason Crabb and the Crabb Family, John Hagee, Rod Parsley, Bishop John Francis, Dr. Oral Roberts, Dr. Mark Chironna, Vern Jackson, Mike Purkey, Steve Brock, Del Way, Walt Mills, the HLE Singers and Actors, and many more.
For more than 35 years TBN has been the leader in faith-based television worldwide, and its twice-yearly Praise-a-Thon is one of the major ways the network reaches out to thank viewers and supporters for their partnership. "We have a lot of people to thank," said Paul Crouch Jr., "and we have a lot to share with the millions of individuals all over the world who have helped us bring faith and family-friendly television to prominence. That is what this Praise-a-Thon is all about."
