August 2, 1974: “I rushed home to await the call from Western Union that the telegram [from the FCC granting the license of Channel 40 in Southern California — TBN’s first TV station] had arrived. Another eternity passed, but at about 3 P.M. the call came! As I roared out the driveway to personally pick up the telegram, Jan and Joshua (our big white German shepherd) were actually doing a DANCE out on the patio—I am sure it was in the Spirit! I could hear her clear down the street laughing and crying — ‘Josh, we got it! Josh, we got it!’

“We will never forget that night . . . as we read the telegram on Praise the Lord! Our joy overflowed as God’s people from all over Southern California claimed THEIR TV STATION in Jesus’ name!”
