Tomorrow night, Saturday, April 25 at 7:00PM ET, Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) will broadcast live, an historic Night of Hope with Joel and Victoria Osteen.TBN has exclusive broadcast rights to this event.

This historic night will be broadcast around the globe from New York City's brand new Yankee Stadium. In a live broadcast last evening at TBN's new state-of-the-art HD studios at WTBY, Channel 27, located at the former Century Center for the Performing Arts in the heart of Manhattan, Pastor Osteen shared how tomorrow night began. He spoke to a large audience and several local pastors and numerous others from around the country, who are co-sponsors and supporters of this event.

He received a telephone call approximately one year ago with an invitation to bring his message of hope to the Bronx. Someone who was in a key position but not the final decision maker, felt it could happen and tomorrow night it will soon be history!

The new ballpark will host the Osteen's Historic Night of Hope's special event prayer service as the first non-baseball event.

It is reported, the new 51,000-seat stadium will be blessed by Pastor Osteen during the event. Two-time Grammy award-winning gospel, jazz and rock fusion artist Israel Houghton; Dove award winner and songwriter Cindy Cruse-Ratcliff; and the Lakewood Church choir will provide music and song.

"The Osteen's are quite at home in enormous sports venues, having captivated millions at arenas across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Audiences of over 40,000 regularly attend the couples' services at their Lakewood Church in Texas, former home of the NBA's Houston Rockets."  Pastor Osteen is well known for his charismatic Sunday sermons and self-help books: Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential and Become a Better You: 7 Keys to Improving Your Life Every Day.

You may not want to miss this First Celebration of Faith at Yankee Stadium. Pastor Osteen and his supporters wished to make it very clear; this event is not about The Osteen's but Christ. He credited pastors in the NYC and NJ areas for having paved the way for him over the course of their ministering to the people in NYC, that has catapulted him to center stage on a platform created by them. 

It promises to be an uplifting, soul-saving, heartwarming, Night of Hope!

Thank you, Linda and God bless you! I appreciate your support. It's encouraging. I just read your Teen/Tween Runaway poem and loved it. I'm waiting until it's been made official before commenting. I did not find anything elementary about it. Well, I'll save it for the official review! LOL

Happy Weekend! Please keep me in your prayers.
PS  I plan to tune in for a bit tomorrow night. I attended their Night of Hope in my town and enjoyed it. I actually worked and received excellent seats and products in exchange for service.

Thanks for mentioning the program Avis. My husband and I watch Joel Osteen every Sunday without fail. We also subscribe to his daily online message.  It would benefit people greatly to listen to what he has to say, especially in these days of economic doom and gloom. We need to keep our faith and hope for better things to come.

Brianna, thank you for your comments. I couldn't agree more about what we need as a nation and world.  "We need to keep our faith and hope for better things to come." Better things are to come! I adore the Osteen's, too. Their message is spot on, especially for our present times. If I don't watch him every Sunday, I'll do so sometime during the week, thank God for the Internet.  I like going to his site to read since I get so much inspiration in my inbox.

Hope you're enjoying a very nice weekend, Brianna.

Did anyone record the Yankee Stadium Night of Hope event broadcast? I've been trying to find it.  Thank you and God bless!

Jim, the only video I could find was approximately 4 minutes in length, not the entire recording. I'm guessing there are copyright infringements if it were publicly available. I found what I did by doing a YouTube search on Yankee Stadium Night of Hope + Joel Osteen. All the best and blessings!
