Time for Hope, the vision of Dr. Freda V. Crews, aired for the first time in early October 1997. From its early beginnings, on a handful of stations, the Time for Hope television program has grown rapidly, and presently airs weekly on numerous satellite networks and affiliates throughout the United States and Canada. The program has millions of potential viewers weekly and is still growing.

Time for Hope has had the privilege of having many of the most well known authors and mental health professionals in America share their expertise and stories of pain, despair, healing and recovery.

The Time for Hope television program is unique in that its hosts and their guests are not afraid to confront the age-old question of, "why does the all-knowing, all-powerful and loving God allow pain and suffering when He can take it away." Although, we do not profess to have all the answers to this question, we do believe we are able to make some sense out of this human dilemma, and we do not hesitate to point hopeless and hurting people to the hope that is found in relationship with His son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Time for Hope challenges its viewers to make exciting and positive changes in their lives. The host and her guests often do this through their own personal testimonials. At other times, it is done through guests sharing their innovative ideas and programs that have been tried, tested, and proven to impact the lives of many people.

Time for Hope offers many books and other resources that can change people's lives. Our goal is to become one of the best-known resource centers for people wanting to find more meaning and purpose in their lives. With each program, we offer a "product" related to the subject being discussed. It is usually a book authored by the guest. In addition, we also make available a one-page Fact Sheet that is compiled from notes of the show, the book being offered, and from other resources. This resource is free for the asking. All a person has to do is call us at 1-800-669-9133, or write us at P. O. Box 2169, Spartanburg, SC, 29304.

It is relevant to what we are going through in our lives, it gets to the core of how we grow." Viewer from Scarsdale, New York "Thank you so much for the show.

I really enjoy the show. Thank you for all that you guys do."
