The first It Is Written program entered people’s homes via television on Sunday, March 25, 1956. When Pastor George Vandeman founded It Is Written 65 years ago, he did not anticipate we would still be here 65 years later.
From one weekly program filmed in a make-shift television set in a living room to 10 programs produced in a camera-ready studio in Collegedale, Tennessee, It Is Written has been sharing the gospel through technology. The first religious television program to air in colour, It Is Written helped to pioneer satellite and virtual evangelism. Still the tenth longest-running weekly television series in the country, It Is Written remains dedicated to sharing the gospel with the world.
Today, It Is Written is more than just television programs. The ministry offers a full-time online television channel, It Is Written TV; an evangelism training school, SALT; a children’s ministry, My Place With Jesus; a Spanish-speaking ministry, Escrito Está; a full-service warehouse providing sharing resources; humanitarian work impacting lives in countries around the world, and multiple annual evangelistic initiatives in cities across the globe each year.
