In Touch Ministries

In Touch Ministries

InTouch Ministries is a Christian Evangelical organization founded by Dr. Charles F. Stanley with the stated mission to "lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church." [http://www.intouch.org InTouch.org, the homepage of In Touch Ministries; accessed July 22, 2006] ]

Purpose

InTouch's stated purpose for existence is Christian outreach. The main outreach tools used by the ministry are television and radio broadcasts. Further readings and references written by Dr. Stanley are advertised after the sermon and offered for purchase from InTouch Ministries. Some resources, such as the Life Principal Notes and Daily Devotional pamphlets are offered free.

InTouch's radio and television programs are broadcast in 103 languages [http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/In_Touch/host_bio.asp?show_id=171 Oneplace.com broadcast archives] ] including Persian (Middle East), Dzongkha (Bhutan) and Assamese (India). [http://ww2.intouch.org/site/c.7nKFISNvEqG/b.1014823/k.7BAD/InTouch_With_The_World.htm "In Touch" broadcasts in various languages] ]

Theme

Stanley's sermons are usually based on characteristics of a person, both negative and positive, rather than starting from a selected section of the Bible. The televised version is bulleted with key points and the methods through which the issue can (reportedly) be resolved are presented simultaneously with his sermon.

The themes sometimes recur, forming a series. For example, "Landmines in the Pathway of the Believer" was a 10 week series about 10 pitfalls, including lust and jealousy [http://www.intouch.org/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=361&prrfnbr=1133840 Example of a "Sermon Series"] ] , that Christians (and non-believers) face. The series was so popular it was aired in its entirety a second time.Fact|date=February 2007
