Dear Friend, Few would dispute the pace at which our world is changing. It seems as if every day is another jarring headline of terrorism, political unrest, and natural disaster. Many of us are wondering, Will the world ever be the same again? As the world continues to fracture, it is time to accept this new normal and understand how God s hand is still at work on His eternal plan for mankind. Instead of being afraid, it s time to Stand Up and take action, claiming all the physical and spiritual resources God has given us. Now, more than ever, we, as the Body of Christ, must claim God s truth in our lives and proclaim it to the world. As you join me for this live event, I look forward to providing practical ways for you and your community to face the challenges in our world today. This knowledge will give you confidence that the circumstances around us are not a surprise to God, as He has a greater plan for this world and eternity. Donna and I look forward to joining you for this informative and inspirational evening. David Jeremiah The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (Romans 13:12).

TURNING POINT & DR. DAVID JEREMIAH Turning Point Turning Point s mission is to deliver the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world. We strive to promote ministry in the lives of our listeners by teaching them to reach their own circle of influence for Jesus Christ, supporting the local church, and encouraging the body of Christ. We are dedicated to the daily walk of our listeners and viewers by providing Bible study resources to help them grow spiritually. Turning Point is a nonprofit organization recognized for tax-deductible giving by the federal government. The ministry of Turning Point has several components including radio, television, and monthly giving programs like the Bible Strong Partners. Each message that is aired, whether over the radio or television, is presented by Dr. David Jeremiah, and the resources that we provide are derived from those messages. Turning Point is not underwritten by any church or organization, but is supported solely by our listeners and viewers. Dr. David Jeremiah A teacher of God s Word for more than forty years, Dr. Jeremiah has served as the senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California since 1981. The following year, he started a local Turning Point Radio and Television broadcast which now airs worldwide, reaching hundreds of millions of people in five languages and counting! In addition to leading his church and Turning Point ministry, Dr. Jeremiah is a favorite conference speaker and author. His books Signs of Life and What in the World Is Going On? were both on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. He has authored forty other books including Captured by Grace, When Your World Falls Apart, Slaying the Giants in Your Life, The Coming Economic Armageddon, Agents of the Apocalypse, and People Are Asking... Is This the End?.
STAND UP TOUR Dr. David Jeremiah watches with the rest of the world as news headlines become more jarring and cultural changes more rapid. The world seems more fractured each day and people are asking, Is this the end? Dr. David Jeremiah responds to this question in his new book and tour, urging Christians to accept the new normal and understand how God s hand is still at work on His eternal plan for mankind. The times we live in should not scare us but motivate us to action, claiming all the physical and spiritual resources God has given us. Amidst all the uncertainties of our world, we do know what God has called us to do today in light of the days ahead: The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armor of light (Romans 13:12). This is our biblical directive for this time in the ministry of Turning Point. This is the message we must share with the world in 2016. We must put on the armor of light and share the Light of the world to a world steeped in darkness. We can no longer say, one day, but must say, today! Can you think of a more important moment in time to STAND UP for God? By preaching a solid foundational message directly from Scripture, Dr. Jeremiah s mission is to reach a lost generation, to engage apathetic believers, and to re-energize faithful Christians everywhere to Stand Up! With conviction and truth, Dr. Jeremiah will draw attention to ripped from the headlines issues and connect their meaning to biblical text. In light of Scripture, he will give practical ways for Christians to face the challenges each of these issues presents. These live events are provided free of charge and offer a great outreach opportunity in your church and community. Invite your friends and family to attend and experience God-honoring worship, to fellowship with thousands of other believers, and to be challenged to Stand Up for their faith. Each stop along the tour will feature outstanding musical guests and Dr. Jeremiah s Bible-strong teaching encouraging the Church today to Stand Up!
