Top StoriesIn Touch Ministries Celebrates 45 Years of God’s FaithfulnessFounded by Dr. Charles F. Stanley in 1977, In Touch Ministries now celebrates “45 years of God’s faithfulness.” In 1972, Stanley launched his television ministry “The Chapel Hour,” a half-hour, Atlanta-area program that aired on WXIA-TV 11 and WANX 46. From this foundation, Stanley founded In Touch Ministries in 1977. The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), impressed by the young pastor’s abilities and seeking a practical Bible teaching program, contacted Stanley in 1978 in order to include the program in a satellite distribution network for cable systems. Within a week, the broadcast began to attract a national audience.
