FAITH USA LAUNCHES ON
DISH NETWORK!
DR WALDO MALAN
It’s with great excitement that Faith Family of Networks announced
the launch of a new satellite channel in the USA, called FaithU-
SA. President and CEO, Dr. André Roebert says, “Over the years,
we have received many prophetic words concerning the future
significance of Faith Broadcasting Network. We have carried the
voice of faith and the power of the Holy Spirit across the nations
of the earth, and we have eagerly awaited the arrival of every
season to get us there.”
Faith Family of Networks launched in 2002 as the first ever Chris-
tian television channel in South Africa and has grown over the
last 15 years to a network reaching over 250 million households in
Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.According to Dr.
André Roebert the expansion into the USA heralds a new season
of expansion. “In addition to reaching ±14 million homes via Dish
Network channel 269,” he comments, “we are currently negotiat-
ing local broadcasting in some other states and cities throughout
the USA, which will bring the potential reach of FBN to close to 20
million homes.”
Ben Ferrell, of BMC Ferrell agencies, who works in close associa-
tion with FBN comments, “We have an earnest sense of anticipa-
tion to see God’s kingdom extended, and as such, the potential
of reaching millions of souls fills us with awe. God is at work, and live broadcasts.” The channel is geared towards the whole family,
as His servants fulfilling the great commission, we are all a vital
part of it!”
Faith Family of Networks consider the 6 July launch as an enor-
mous opportunity to infiltrate the USA and Africa with the Word
of Faith and the move of His Holy Spirit. “FaithUSA will focus on
the power of the Holy Spirit,” says Dr. Roebert, “broadcasting live
programs showing revival in action, the supernatural, and mira-
cles, and as such this will set our channel apart from most other
religious offerings on television.” Each programmer and content
provider on our network has a unique way in conveying the Gos-
pel of Christ, and by giving various approaches to so many dif-
ferent viewers, we ensure that the message will hit its mark. Some
of the programmers include Jonathan Shuttlesworth, Katie Souza,
Rodney Howard-Browne, Paula White, and Curry Blake. Many oth-
er respected ministers, such as Kenneth & Gloria Copeland, Bill
Winston, John & Lisa Bevere, Jentezen Franklin, Planetshakers, and
Beth Jones form part of the regular program lineup.
“The program content on FaithUSA encourages and uplifts the
lives of its viewers through top international and local shows that
include everything from wholesome comedy, talk shows, docu-
mentaries, entertainment, music, top local and international in-
spirational family movies, as well as children’s and youth based
shows,” says Ben Ferrell. “ FaithUSA is part of the selective block
of religious channels on Dish Network. It is adjacent to the block
of Hispanic channels, beginning with Univision, one of the most
highly rated television networks in America.”
“FaithUSA is primarily focused on souls,” says Dr. Roebert, “confirm-
ing the Word with signs following in the power of the Holy Spirit for
and the promotional launch video released by FBNencapsulates
their purpose - “Invite the supernatural into your home this summer
as FaithUSA launches on Dish Network Channel 269.Experience

wide in a spirit of faith, hope and love.It is about uniting your fam-
ily, your community, your nation, it is about God as the mainstay
