God, Family, Country--Takes Center Stage! Conservative Talk Show Host Bill Keller Launches Nationally-Syndicated Biblical Worldview TV Program 'Live Prayer with Bill Keller'
Program Premiers November 6th on "i" Network, Monday - Friday
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 3 /Standard Newswire/ -- Coming to "i" network (Formerly PAX TV) on November 6 is "Live Prayer With Bill Keller," the nation's only nationally- syndicated "live" conservative television talk show addressing controversial current issues from a biblical worldview.
"Live Prayer With Bill Keller" will air Monday through Friday from midnight to 1:00 am, providing a clear alternative to other late night talk shows by dealing with how issues such as divorce, homosexuality, abortion, relationships, addictions, abuse and more impact the day to day lives of real people. Keller, armed with his Bible, addresses these issues in a no- nonsense way by helping solve problems, giving hope, and bringing forth Biblical truth that viewers can see the value of strong families building a sound country by applying God's Word to their real life scenarios.
"Live Prayer" is very unique in that the guests are those who call in to discuss current events, their challenges, and how to apply Biblical truth to issues and situations. It's the only late night TV program that is live, unscripted, and unedited. No other talk show or host offers what Keller does - a fresh, totally spontaneous approach to problem solving. There is no preaching involved, just a lot of heart and soul, and a good deal of common sense from which his audience can draw in order to overcome their problems.
"Everybody talks about reality TV, but what about those who are facing real problems and need to have solutions real-time? They can find some answers with Live Prayer With Bill Keller," Keller says. "This show will take on the issues from a Biblical worldview. I tell it like it is—abortion is murder; homosexuality is sin. But I do it in a way that the Biblical truth will impress our guests and viewers with hope in their lives, a love for our nation and a renewed sense of direction from God Almighty."
Keller knows the program will change lives as well as promote the values of God, country and family. Already, "Live Prayer With Bill Keller" found tremendous success after being on for nearly 4 years. In 2003, Keller launched "Live Prayer With Bill Keller" on major network affiliates throughout Florida, and has consistently pulled in a quarter million viewers nightly in the Sunshine State alone. Now he expects to immediately draw a million-plus viewers per night for the national "Live Prayer" show, which will be airing against some of the most popular late- night fare.
Keller knows first hand how following God's word can change a life. He was a successful businessman until insider trading landed him in federal prison for 30 months in the late 80s. While there, he recommitted his life to Jesus Christ, finished his religious studies, and determined to share the message that helped him right his life. It was during this life experience that he realized that many people are searching their hearts for answers, but may never cross through the door of a church. Keller developed "Live Prayer" to reach out interactively to those who are seeking to fill an emptiness in their heart.
In 1999 Keller launched LivePrayer.com, which has become the most successful online faith outreach in history. Since its inception LivePrayer.com has responded personally to more than 60 million online requests for prayer. And Keller's "Live Prayer" devotional is received daily by more than two million e-mail subscribers.

Christian Networks Sponsor Nationwide 'Bless Israel' Telethon on Eve of U.S. Elections
PITTSBURGH, Penn., Oct. 31 /Christian Newswire/ -- Noted evangelical leader Dr. John Hagee, one of America's most vocal defenders of Israel and the Jewish people, will guest host a national telethon in support of Israel on November 6th, the eve of America's national elections. The nationwide "Bless Israel" telethon will be broadcast live from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. (EST) on the Cornerstone Television Network, and will include sponsoring hosts Dr. Ron Hembree, president of Cornerstone Television, and Dr. Belarmino "Blackie" Gonzales, president of New Mexico's Son Broadcasting Network.
The telethon will feature a number of Christian and conservative leaders, including former presidential candidate Gary Bauer, founder of American Values; Dr. Frank Wright, president of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB); Dr. Glen Plummer, president of Michigan's Christian Television Network; and Dr. Bruno Caamaño, president of AlmaVision Hispanic Network. There will also be special guests from Israel representing the organizations benefiting from the event.
Son Broadcasting Network founder "Blackie" Gonzalez, who helped lay the foundation for the groundbreaking telethon, said that with events rapidly escalating in the Middle East, Christians in America must turn their hearts and their compassion to God's chosen nation of Israel. "There is no doubt in my mind that God is calling His Church to boldly stand for Israel and the Jewish people," said Gonzalez. "In this time of false peace we must work together to help Israel replenish necessary resources as they prepare for the future."
Cornerstone Television Network's Ron Hembree noted that America's religious broadcasting community has always carried a special commitment to stand for Israel. "Many of the nation's religious broadcast leaders have stepped forward to be a part of this special telethon," said Hembree. "They feel a real obligation to communicate to their ministry partners, viewers, and listeners worldwide that the Church must take a bold and meaningful stand for God's chosen people."
Gonzalez explained that the four-hour event was purposefully scheduled on the eve of what is shaping up to be one of America's most significant national elections. "We scheduled this telethon to coincide with the national elections so we could emphasize to Christians the importance of America faithfully standing with Israel," he said. "We're going to focus on calling the Church to pray for the nation of Israel and for America's continued support. In addition we're asking Christians to specifically bless Israel in this time of need, just as God commands us."
Gonzalez emphasized that Israel will be the sole beneficiary of the telethon, with all funds going to the following organizations:
The Jewish Federation Emergency Fund, which aids the people of Israel through a variety of humanitarian campaigns.
