“If you were going to broadcast an evangelistic series to the world, where would you host it?”
The question hung in the air for only a moment before Ted N. C. Wilson, General Conference president, answered: “New York City.”
That conversation in 2022 between Wilson and Doug Batchelor, president and speaker of Amazing Facts International, was the genesis of Prophecy Odyssey, an evangelistic series hosted in Manhattan, New York from September 20 to October 5. The 15-part prophecy seminar was broadcast live in English and Spanish on Hope International, 3ABN, and AFTV and has already amassed well over 48 million views on YouTube and Facebook. Artificial intelligence software translated the meetings into 17 languages. Locally, more than 800 guests attended the sessions, and 377 chose baptism.
