LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – APRIL 2024

Hello, everyone! I hope you are experiencing a deeper level of God’s love in your life this month. Having just come out of celebrating Easter, I can’t help but think of how important it is that we continue to stand together to share the Gospel with the nations. It truly transforms lives and impacts eternity, and we all can feel the sense of urgency as more and more End Time events are fulfilled.

I want to thank all of you who participated and gave during last month’s Heart for the World. You are already making a difference by standing with Daystar to fulfill the Great Commission. We had so many pledges from nations all over the world, and you’re empowering us to continue to touch lives with the power of God’s love in significant ways, especially those we are supporting in the nation of Israel during this difficult war. Thank you so much for giving, and be sure to continue to get that monthly pledge fulfillment in the mail. You are helping bring salvation, healing, and hope to millions all across the earth.

Daystar has also once again experienced some exciting growth! Our Daystar Español network is launching on Verizon/Frontier’s Spanish Tier as well as in their regular channel line-up nationally. Our all-Spanish network is also launching on the Spanish Tier of Comcast, Charter/Spectrum, Cox Cable, and some additional independent cable systems. We’re also adding Daystar Español to Telefonica in South America on their systems in Columbia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina. These new carriages add an amazing 7 million homes to the ever-growing reach of Daystar Español. And your faithful support makes this all possible.

On a personal note, I am excited to announce that my youngest daughter, Rebecca, is expecting her third child in May. Doug and I can hardly wait to meet the newest bundle of joy. This will be grandchild seven! Please continue to pray over Rebecca as she welcomes the newest member of our family. We just feel so blessed and thankful for your prayers and support.

As we look ahead to the future, I have such hope and expectation regarding all the amazing opportunities, growth, and new adventures that lie ahead for each of you and for Daystar. I pray the Lord would pour an abundant blessing over you and your family, empowering you to keep affecting eternity with your love and faithfulness.

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – MARCH 2024

Hello everyone! One of the things I really love about this time of year is all the new life that starts popping up around my house. Flowers start budding. Birds start singing. It’s as if all of creation has joined in to worship God by displaying His majesty. And with the arrival of spring comes the reminder of how the Lord brings new beginnings and new chapters.

One such example from my life is the release of my new book Through the Storm: Courageous Faith in Turbulent Times. This is the first time I’m sharing the full story of the storms I’ve walked through including losing my late husband, Marcus Lamb, as well as how I found peace and hope on the other side. And of course, I’ll talk more about how God brought Dr. Doug Weiss into my life. You don’t want to miss a single moment – I know it will inspire hope in your own journey, so be sure to pick up a copy wherever books are sold.

We are also kicking off our spring Heart for the World this month. It’s the time of year where we give you the opportunity to be part of what God is doing in the lives of people all over the planet. So, mark your calendars – March 3rd through 10th. We are believing for a big harvest of souls this year and you help make that possible!

In addition to that, Easter is this month. What a beautiful time of year to not only reflect on the cross and celebrate Jesus’ resurrection, but also share that message with others! Since launching Joni Table Talk on syndication including secular networks, we’ve seen the number of reported salvations grow exponentially! People are discovering the life-changing love of Jesus and it’s all thanks to partners like you.

We are so excited to see how the Lord will continue to grow and accelerate Daystar in fulfilling the Great Commission this year, and I am personally believing that He is going to do something big in your life, especially for those who’ve been contending for a breakthrough. God is moving and working on your behalf, and I can hardly wait for you to share with us the miracle He’s done in your life!

And please help me wish Rebecca Lamb Weiss a very happy birthday! Pray that God would continue to use her to fulfill the calling He’s placed on her life and pray for her to have a healthy pregnancy carrying Baby Weiss number 3. Thank you all for being such a blessing to my family. May you have a blessed month and a happy Easter!

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – FEBRUARY 2024

Can you believe we are already one month in to 2024? We’ve already had new launches, exciting adventures, and more. But before we get to that, one of my favorite things about the month of February is the celebration of all the amazing contributions made by African Americans throughout our history here in the United States.

So, in honor of Black History Month, I wanted to highlight my dear friend and new Daystar programmer, Dr. Kynan Bridges. He is a dynamic minister of the Gospel who has done such a tremendous job at Grace & Peace Global Fellowship in Tampa, Florida. As a guest on Joni Table Talk, he has impacted so many of you with his insight and teaching, and we are so excited to now have him as part of our line-up with his program Your Miraculous Life with Dr. Kynan Bridges.

I also want to take a moment to remember my beloved friend and Daystar Singer, Benita Arterberry. As many of you know, she went home to be with the Lord recently. She was such a tremendous blessing in my life, and we will miss her so much. But despite it being a hard loss for us, we know that she is in the presence of God worshipping the One she loves most, Jesus.

This year has also seen its share of adventure and blessings, and I want to highlight some of those for you. We’ve just recently returned from a trip to Australia to be part of the 2024 Planetshakers Conference. It was a powerful time soaking in the presence of the Lord, and it’s always fun to share that with our favorite Aussie, my son-in-love Joshua Brown, and my daughter Rachel Lamb Brown.

As I mentioned earlier, Daystar has two new launches that I want to share with you. In Australia, we recently launched on Channels 102 and 670 on VAST, a free-to-air satellite television platform. This is in addition to our already great coverage there via Foxtel and the IS-19 Satellite services!

God is doing big things around the globe, and you are helping change lives! We are continuing to pray for and support Israel in the ongoing Gaza War. Currently, Daystar is helping rebuild the various Kibbutz directly affected by the attacks back in October, helping restore communities so those displaced can return home.

And it’s all thanks to the love and support of partners just like you. Thank you for loving Israel and loving the Gospel. We pray the Lord continues to pour out His blessing over you in 2024.

 

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – JANUARY 2024

Happy New Year! I hope you all had an amazing holiday season! It’s already shaping up to be an exciting year around here at Daystar. 2024 has some amazing things in store, and I can hardly wait to share them with you. So, be sure to stay tuned!

We already have another exciting new launch to announce to you. Daystar is now broadcasting to millions of homes across Togo, Africa through CAV Media. Now local residents can watch all of our dynamic, anointed lineup of programmers of the free-to-air, direct-to-home platform on channel 24. Please pray that the Gospel message blesses and touches hearts across the region.

I am also excited to once again visit the great nation of Australia for Planetshakers Conference! It is always such a powerful time of worship and soaking in God’s presence. Daystar will be broadcasting the conference, so if you can’t attend, be sure to tune in January 15-17.

There is so much anticipation in the air for 2024. I recently sat down with Shawn Bolz, and he shared with me a powerful word that I had to pass along to you because it was so encouraging. He had a vision of Marcus with about 8 other people who had sown into Daystar, they were surrounding a prayer fire and releasing with Jesus everything that is needed for this next season. He went on to explain that this year will be marked by momentum. There will be a multiplied factor of being in all these new places and spaces in a short amount of time. He talked about a new measure of production coming to Daystar moving forward. He said God will be sending new people our way and opening new doors, and it’s all for such a time as this! Please continue to keep us in prayer as the Lord brings this word into fruition.

Also this year, I will be releasing a brand-new book entitled Through the Storm. I am currently working on completing the manuscript. In it, I will share about the various storms God has brought me through in my life, giving truth to some of the events that have taken place and the Lord’s faithfulness through it all. I’ll be sharing more information as it becomes available about its release and where you can find it.

And I just want to personally thank all of you for continuing to stand with Daystar and your commitment to sharing the truth of God’s Word with the nations. Please continue to pray for me and my family as we work to see more souls receive salvation in 2024, and I am believing for God to pour out His favor over your life this year in a powerful way.

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – DECEMBER 2023

‘Tis the season for gathering together with loved ones to remember the true meaning of Christmas, and it’s always a special time around here at Daystar. This time of year brings great opportunities to reach people and show the love of God in tenderness, beauty, and kindness.

One of the ways we like to share the Gospel in our local community is through our yearly Christmas lights presentation. We get so much great feedback from it each year, and through our nativity display, we get to share the story of the birth of Jesus with all those who visit. It’s one of my favorite parts of how Daystar celebrates the holidays.

This season also offers us a moment to reflect on all God has done in 2023. We launched the Daystar Español network, an all-Spanish speaking platform dedicated to reaching the global Hispanic community. We also launched in HD on DirecTV, on SES 6 Satellite coving Latin America, and on Snehal and DEN in India just to name a few. Plus, we’ve given millions of dollars to Israel to help in this time of crisis, and as more donations comes in, we’ll continue to send support as we stand with the Jewish people.

Joni Table Talk also saw a year of exciting growth! We’ve been broadcasting on CBS in 9 of the top 20 markets, including 4 of the top five – New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas-Fort Worth. We’ve also enjoyed reaching audiences through A&E, FYI, Fox, Fox Business, Real America’s Voice, and more.

Of course, it’s been a blessed year for me personally with our family growing and also getting to marry my husband, Dr. Doug Weiss. I’m excited to see what this next year will hold, and I am looking forward to all the new memories we’ll make together.

For this Christmas, we have some fun shows planned. You definitely want to tune in on December 19 for our Ministry Now holiday special, and I’m excited to share my Table Talk holiday special “A Very Joni Christmas” on December 22 with an encore presentation on Christmas Day.

Looking ahead to the New Year, I want you to know that we will continue to seek to reach more and more people with the Gospel, meeting them right where they are with compassion for what they are facing! I believe we are going to see many lives healed, restored, transformed, and set free in 2024. Thank you for continuing to stand with Daystar and have a very Merry Christmas!

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – NOVEMBER 2023

One thing I love about this time of year is the focus on what you’re truly grateful for. In America, the “Thanksgiving” holiday centers around thanking God for all the ways He’s blessed us this year.

I am thankful to have an amazing family who’ve worked alongside me to take the Gospel around the world. This month marks the two-year anniversary of the passing of my late husband, Marcus Lamb. I am truly grateful for the many years we shared. And after his passing, I wasn’t sure if I could ever love again. Yet, God proved faithful, healed my heart, and brought my wonderful husband, Dr. Doug Weiss, into my life.

Another thing I am so grateful for is touching lives in such a significant way. We recently had our fall Heart for the World, and the response was tremendous. Right now, people are finding hope and freedom through Jesus because of the generosity of partners like you. We are reaching so many people and are hearing from new viewers watching in India, Africa, Israel, Australia, and beyond. Literally every corner of the Earth!

The Lord also showed me how He has intentionally put people in my path to help, like my dear friend Michele Binion. Many of you have been praying for her as she walks through cancer treatment with Oasis of Hope. We are standing with her, believing for healing; and she is doing well. She is completing phase 3 of her treatment, and the Lord has used her to speak into others’ lives. One fellow patient even accepted Jesus as savior. Michele is getting stronger every day. So, continue to pray God’s Word over her! Here are some Scriptures she is standing on: Psalm 103, 1 Peter 2:24, Hebrews 13:8, and Psalm 91:16.

This month, take time to consider what you are thankful for and how God’s goodness has touched your life. Whatever you may be facing, remember to keep your eyes on Jesus. He is always faithful. We love you and are praying God continues to pour out His favor and blessings on your life.

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – OCTOBER 2023

One of the things I love about this time of year is that fall represents a time of change and the hope of what lies ahead. Last month was the beginning of a new year on the Jewish calendar, and with it comes a time of reflection. It’s a great time to look at God’s blessings in our lives and to steward what He has sown into ours by giving to build His Kingdom.

A great opportunity to honor all that the Lord has done for you over this year is to join us for our fall Heart for the World. As you give to touch lives with the Gospel, God pours out even more of His blessings. As you help to bring hope, healing, encouragement, deliverance, and peace to others, the Lord pours that back into your life.

God has done some tremendous things at Daystar this year, and thanks to partners just like you, we are reaching more souls than ever before! We have launched on Raj Cable, reaching 250,000 new homes in India and we have renewed carriage on growing multi-channel TV platforms in Africa reaching almost 25 million homes Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.

I’ve also started the journey of writing a new book! So many of you were touched by my story of dealing with the grief of losing Marcus, how the Lord restored my hope for the future, and of course the blessing of wedding Dr. Doug Weiss. I’ve decided to bring that journey to the page for a more in-depth look. So please keep me in your prayers as I work diligently to share my story in my upcoming book, Through the Storm.

I also have a very special program coming up this month on Table Talk. Pastor Jimmy Evans is joining me to talk about The Bloodline Blessing, and you don’t want to miss a special opportunity to bring home his exclusive Daystar teaching on this important topic. Be sure to tune in October 2!

And thank you for always supporting and encouraging my family. Please continue to keep us in your prayers, and help we wish a big happy birthday to a very special group of people – Jonathan Lamb, Suzy Lamb, Israel Lamb, and Jonathan Weiss! I am believing for a new year of blessings and God’s favor on each of their lives. We love them all so much, and I know you do too.

Thank you for all you do for the Kingdom and for loving our family so much! We could not do what we do without your faithful support!

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – SEPTEMBER 2023

One of the things I love about this time of year is that it’s the start of a new school year as well as the beginning of the Jewish calendar year and the high holy days. It’s the perfect time to reflect on what matters in life like our families and how we honor God as Lord of our life.

It’s so easy to get busy and overwhelmed with life. That’s why we must set aside time to rest, to connect with our family, and remember God’s goodness. In our upcoming Yom Kippur special this month, we are offering an exclusive teaching from our dear friend Paul Wilbur on the blessing of Shabbat. Tune in to discover how this ancient Biblical practice can strengthen your family and build deep faith as you make it part of your week.

I also invite you to join me in praying for all the teachers and kids as they start their new school year. It’s vital that we pray protection over them, and that God would give them wisdom. The enemy is after this generation, and we must stand in the gap for them!

And if you are going through a difficult season or have a need in your life, there is nothing more powerful than uniting your faith with others. That’s why we offer 24-hour access to the Daystar prayer line. Whatever you’re facing in life, don’t face it alone. We are here, ready to pray with you for any breakthrough you need.

We know that lives are changed through the power of prayer and sharing the Gospel, and thanks to your support, more people are hearing the Good News. Recently Daystar launched on “DEN” Cable Channel 67 and “DEN” DTH Channel 142 across north India. DEN is the largest and most popular network in the region with an amazing 48 million subscribers. We are excited to see what God is going to do next, and we hope you’ll be a part. So, be sure to join us next month for our fall Heart for the World. Thank you for standing for the Gospel. Let’s continue to change the world together!

LETTERS FROM JONI – AUGUST 2023

Hello Daystar Family! What an incredible start to this next chapter in my life and in the growth and expansion of Daystar! God has been doing some exciting and incredible things that I can hardly wait to share with you.

First, I want to thank you all for your prayers and support for myself and Doug. Many of you have called or written in to express wanting to see the wedding. So, we will be sharing it on Daystar this month. Be sure to keep an eye out for that!

You may also have noticed that Doug has joined me in co-hosting Ministry Now. He is doing a great job, and I want to personally thank you for all the support and encouragement you’ve sent in. I just want to highlight a few that we received. Rose from Denton, TX, wrote, “Congratulations to Joni and Doug on their new beginning! God is a matchmaker, and He has certainly done well!” Laura from Tulsa, OK, said, “I pray that God’s divine peace and glory would overtake your lives and that the joy of the Lord would be your strength.” And Wanda from Bentonville, AK, shared, “I have so much respect for Joni and am so very happy for her and Doug. I will continue to enjoy watching Ministry Now with them!” And we received so many more loving comments just like these. You’ve also shared how you are enjoying watching Healing Times with Dr. Doug Weiss right here on Daystar, Wednesdays at 9am ET. I just want all of you to know how much this means to Doug and me, and we will continue to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, standing for truth and taking the Gospel to the nations.

As part of fulfilling that mission, Joni Table Talk has expanded its reach to include broadcasts on secular platforms. With this expansion, we are broadcasting into 9 of the top 18 TV markets across the United States through CBS stations in areas such as Miami, Tampa, Minneapolis, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Detroit. This is in addition current syndication on A&E, FYI, Real America’s Voice, Victory Channel, and GospelTruth.TV.

We have also grown our coverage internationally with launching Daystar Español on DirectTV Latin America, Dish Mexico, and more, and Daystar has launched on Snehal Network and DEN, India’s leading Cable TV service provider. That’s tens of millions of new people being reached with the Good News of Jesus across America and around the world, and it’s all thanks to partners like you!

Together, we’re taking the Gospel farther than ever before. Thank you!

 

LETTERS FROM JONI – JULY 2023

What an incredible year it’s been so far! As many of you know, I started a big new chapter of my life, and I’m excited to share about that. A lot of you saw the special program, “Through the Storm,” where I shared about my journey of grieving the loss of Marcus. Your responses have been tremendous. Thank you for all the prayers and support. I know it blessed many of you. As we look ahead to the future and what God has in store, I want to share a little about this new season.

On June 10th, I married Dr. Doug Weiss in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by family and close friends. Jimmy Evans officiated and Doug’s pastor, Dean Hawk, administered communion. It was such a special day, but it was not a decision I approached lightly. Throughout our developing relationship, we submitted to the Holy Spirit and Church leadership, including oversight by Jimmy. I spent many hours in prayer and consulting family, friends, and pastors for wisdom. Because Doug had been through a divorce, we walked through counseling with Jimmy, and he affirmed that Doug’s divorce was based on biblical grounds. But perhaps most importantly, the Holy Spirit guided me on this journey. I remember Jimmy asking me, “How do you know this is God?” I ran through all the list of “right” answers, but I felt the Holy Spirit say, “You’re forgetting something.” And I told Jimmy that really it was the incredible “peace” Holy Spirit had given me throughout the whole process

One very special moment in the wedding was the ringing of the bell to announce my entrance as the bride. When Marcus and I married, my brother Lane, at six years of age, was the ring-bearer and rang a bell to call attention to the congregation that the bride was arriving. In a beautiful sentiment, Lane rang that same bell at mine and Doug’s wedding before he walked me down the aisle to give my hand to Doug. It was a sweet moment I will never forget. And I will be sharing more moments and highlights like this in the future. So, keep an eye out for that.

As Doug and I embark on this new season, please continue to pray for us. Doug has already been a blessing in my life and has stood by me, encouraged me, and helped me be an even better leader. I am still and will continue to be the active President of Daystar. I take that responsibility very seriously. I want you to know how happy I am. We remain committed to bringing excellent content, sharing the Gospel, and look forward to seeing revival, having more salvations, and bringing hope to the nations.

 

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – JUNE 2023

As we approach Father’s Day, I want to take a moment to reflect on the impact fathers have. I feel so blessed that my children had such a great father in Marcus Lamb. He was a man committed to loving his children, being in their lives, and instilling strong Biblical values that are producing fruit even today.

His passion for the Lord and sharing the Gospel helped not only guide Daystar to where it is today, but it also instilled in our family a commitment to the Great Commission and a dedication to the things of God. Marcus firmly believed in loving people, sharing God’s Word, aligning with the Holy Spirit, standing with Israel, and being generous. These qualities permeated everything from the way he took special time with Jonathan, Rachel, and Rebecca to how he lavished his affection on our grandchildren. I am so thankful Marcus got to be here for all of our children getting married, and I loved getting to see him be Poppy to Israel, Arielle, Asher, and Judah and pouring the same love and attention into them as he did our children.

Marcus also modeled what it means to be a giver both personally and through Daystar, and on behalf of you our partners, he gave to so many outreaches, ministries, and organizations to touch lives. He loved Heart for the World because it provided our partners a direct opportunity to change the world, and he was always moved by your generosity. Because of you, we’ve already given to bless Israel and to help those affected by the Ukraine war this year. As we approach our summer Heart for the World, please pray with us about what God wants to do through you this season. I know Marcus is cheering us on from Heaven.

For many like us, you are spending Father’s Day apart from your loved one because they’ve gone home to be with the Lord. So, I want you to be sure to visit Daystar.com/OnDemand and check out the testimonies of Jim Woodford and Randy Kay who died, went to Heaven, and came back. I know these Table Talks will bless and encourage you. And I pray a fresh outpouring of God’s love over you all this Father’s Day.

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – MAY 2023

Hello, global Daystar family! I cannot begin to tell you just how thankful I am for you. Through your continuous prayers and support, we’ve been able to do some exciting things that I can hardly wait to share with you.

Recently, Mississippi experienced a devastating tornado that left a wake of destruction in its path. So, we issued a $100,000 matching challenge to show God’s love in a tangible way, and your response was so tremendous. Because of your generosity, we were able to send more than $200,000 to help those affected by the storm rebuild their lives.

We are also happy to announce that Daystar had major High Definition launches recently. Both Daystar and Daystar Español are now available in HD on DirectTV USA and DirectTV Streaming. You can watch Daystar in HD on Channel 369, and you can see all of our HD Spanish-language content for Daystar Español on channel 463. This means millions of homes all over the U.S. will have access to our HD programming, and your support helps make that happen.

I have also been hearing from many of you who are listening to the Joni Table Talk podcast. It blesses my heart to know it’s touching your life, and I love that so many of you are enjoying being able to listen to all of our great discussions on the go. So, take Joni Table Talk with you by subscribing to my podcast, available now on Spotify and Apple Music.

One of the things I love about the month of May is that it’s an important month to show all the mothers out there how much they mean to you. Mothers’ Day is just around the corner! So, be sure to let those mothers in your life know the impact they’ve made on you.

I also want to wish a special Happy anniversary to Rebecca and Jonathan Weiss. Their love for each other and for the Lord fills my heart with such joy. And I want to wish a Happy Birthday to Joshua Brown who is such a blessing to Daystar and to my family! Of course, the big event coming up this month is the arrival of Baby Brown! We love him so much already and I can’t wait to finally meet my sixth grandbaby!

Lastly, remember to take a moment to remember those who’ve given the ultimate gift for freedom. May is the month we celebrate Memorial Day. So, let us give thanks for those who laid down their lives for their country.

Thank you all for continuing to stand with us as we carry the hope of the Gospel to the nations. You are making a difference every day, and I pray God pours out His favor, protection, and provision over your life.

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – APRIL 2023

Well, it’s that time of year when we remember that God’s plan for all of humanity is to pour out His love and give us hope and a future like the Word tells us in Jeremiah 29:11. Interestingly, spring kicked off last month here in America, and it’s a time of resurrection in nature. So, it’s fitting that Easter falls during this time of year, because it’s through the resurrection of Christ that we know God does indeed make all things new just as He promised.

In November, Daystar will again be taking a group to Israel, and I am so excited because one of my favorite places we visit is the Garden Tomb. It reminds me how complete God’s work is through the cross and of His power to bring life to any situation. The empty tomb is a declaration that God can and will transform our lives because He loves us that much!

This Easter I hope that message resonates with you, and I encourage you to rejoice in what God has done in your life. Go to church with your family and celebrate the gift that Jesus gave each of us by laying His life down as a sacrifice to pay once and for all the debt that sin laid upon humanity. Share it with others so they might know the joy we have in the Father’s goodness!

I want to let you know how much I was touched by your generosity during Heart for the World. We are already seeing lives changed thanks to your giving. You are helping take the Gospel to those who may have never heard it otherwise. By giving, you are sharing the hope we have in Jesus, and you’re empowering Daystar to reach even more lives every day. We are currently working on a deal to expand the Network’s High Definition footprint, bringing the Good News to millions more homes. So, we are excited to hopefully share more about that in the near future.

We are thrilled at the response we have been getting since the launch of Daystar Español. There continues to be thousands of calls and emails from people loving the all-Spanish programming. And more and more people are discovering the power of God’s presence through Joni Table Talk on A&E and the FYI network. Please continue to pray that God touches lives as we speak truth and share His love with the world.

I know that we couldn’t do what we do without you, and I am praying God pours out new blessings on you this month in a mighty way!

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – MARCH 2023

Hello, Daystar family! We are on the verge of spring here in the U.S., and it has me thinking about all the new and exciting things we’ve had happening this year so far. It’s been a season of transition, and God has been opening new doors and doing so much at Daystar and in my life.

Recently, I was able to attend the Planetshakers Conference in Melbourne, Australia, with Josh, Rachel, and Judah. There’s nothing like gathering with fellow believers from around the world to glorify the Lord together. We heard from many of you who were blessed by watching the Conference on Daystar! If you weren’t able to catch it, we have it available online at Daystar.com/OnDemand, so be sure to check that out.

At the beginning of this month, we had our spring Heart for the World. I appreciate all of you tuning in and continuing to give to support Daystar, Daystar Canada, and Daystar Español. You make it possible for us to take the Gospel around the world to touch lives with the love of Jesus. We couldn’t do what we do without you. And I am believing that God will pour out an amazing blessing over you this year for your generosity and faithfulness.

Last month I also shared some big news about a new addition to my life. As many of you may already know, the Lord has brought a wonderful godly man into my life, Dr. Doug Weiss.  I shared our story on Joni Table Talk with Pastor Jimmy Evans and my dear friends who have walked with me through this season. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, you can still watch it online at Daystar.com/OnDemand. It has been a sweet, healing journey that the Lord has taken me on, and I am so grateful for this blessing in my life. Jimmy Evans has given his guidance and blessing on our relationship and we have so appreciated his leadership and wisdom. Thank you for all of your support, prayers and encouragement. Please continue to pray for us that the Lord would guide our every step as we embark on this new chapter together.

As you step out into new beginnings and new adventures this year like I am, I pray that God would show you His faithfulness, guidance, and goodness. Know that I am praying the absolute best for you in 2023, and I believe this will be our biggest, boldest year yet!

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – FEBRUARY 2023

We are one month into the New Year, and I am excited for what God has in store for Daystar in this new season. We have been getting a tremendous response from the launch of Daystar Español, and my family and I just returned from a powerful time of worship and soaking in God’s presence at the 2023 Planetshakers’ Conference.

One of the things I love about being with Planetshakers is their passion for God’s glory and experiencing it by submitting to what the Holy Spirit wants to do in each service. Many of you watched some of the powerful sessions right here on Daystar with messages from Russell Evans, Reggie Dabbs, Samuel Rodriguez, and At Boshoff. If you missed any of these anointed services, you can watch them online at Daystar.com/OnDemand. And if you didn’t see the special interviews I was so blessed to be able to do with the newly elected Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and with Robert Kennedy Jr. on the legacy of his father, then you’ll definitely want go check those out too!

We are also hearing from so many new viewers since launching Joni Table Talk on A&E and the FYI Network. This has been such a great opportunity for reaching more people with a message of hope and encouragement, and we are believing that we will continue to be a beacon of truth while sharing Jesus with more new people than ever before. And its because of partners like you that any of this is possible.

I am also very excited about the upcoming, latest addition to our family. Josh and Rachel announced recently that she is expecting baby number two, and this will be my sixth grandchild. Let me tell you, I could not be more excited. God is growing my family and blessing us so immensely.

Please continue to pray for Daystar and empower the Gospel to reach the nations as we step into this new season. Spring is just around the corner, and God is birthing new things in my life and at Daystar. I can hardly wait to share more about that with you, and I pray that the Lord would pour out his favor on you and your family as you walk in faith and dare to follow God wherever He leads you.

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – JANUARY 2023

Hello, Everyone, and Happy New Year! We had an exciting end to last year, and I hope you all enjoyed all of our holiday specials. Last year was certainly full of the unexpected, and the Lord showed Himself to be faithful in every way, and I know 2023 will bring even more new opportunities to share the Gospel in exciting new ways.

We closed out the last few months of 2022 with the launch of Joni Table Talk on A&E and FYI, and the response has been tremendous. We are elated to be sharing our unique content with this new audience. So, be sure to tell your loved ones to check their local listing to find out when they can catch Joni Table Talk in their area.

I am also excited to announce that in November of this year we will once again be leading a tour to the Holy Land! Seating is limited, so if you want to attend, you need to get registered. This trip is always so special because of Daystar’s connection to Israel as the place where God planted the seeds of this network. You can visit Daystar.com/IsraelTour for more details.

To all my Foxtel friends, I’ve got big news for you. I’m coming to Australia for Planetshakers Conference 2023 on January 12-14 in beautiful Melbourne. This will be a powerful time in the presence of God to experience His glory, and I hope to see you there!

I’m always excited to be part of what God is doing around the world. There is a Great Awakening that’s happening, and all of you amazing partners have a specific purpose in what God is doing. Through your continued support, Daystar is reaching more people than ever, and lives are being impacted for eternity.

Thank you for standing with Daystar and carrying the vision forward into a new year. You mean so much to me and my family. Thank you for your prayers, and speaking of family, my Rachel is having a birthday this month. Please pray a special blessing over her for this new year. And I pray that God opens the windows of Heaven to pour out favor and the refreshing of His presence over your life. I hope you are having a happy New Year and that this season is your best yet!

– Joni

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – DECEMBER 2022

Christmas season is upon us, and it is one of my favorite times of the year! The lights and decorations are out here at Daystar, and we have so many come through, giving us even more opportunities to share the love of Christ in our community.

This is also a great time of year to reflect on the blessings we’ve experienced. I want to thank you all for standing with us through your continued support. It’s because of you that we’ve been able to expand onto new platforms. Recently we had groundbreaking launches as the only Christian Network on India’s Reliance JIO Mobile and Israel’s Cellcom TV, reaching more than 400 Million via these cellular network carriers. Imagine how many people are hearing the Gospel for the first time today right on their phones!

I am also excited to announce that Joni Table Talk is expanding its reach with our launch on the broadcast networks of A&E and FYI. This is a great opportunity to reach an audience we’ve never reached before. Please pray that we would impact lives for the Kingdom of God and show Christ’s love to all who tune in.

These are such major blessings to Daystar, and we praise God for them because they remind us of why we do what we do. It’s to show people how much they are loved by their Creator. Our Heavenly Father sent Jesus into the world because of that great love. This is the reason for the season. Yet, there are many who feel lonely and unloved right now. They may even be your neighbors, friends, relatives, or coworkers. So reach out to those around you who may be hurting or feeling alone this Christmas. Show them that they are loved!

And if you are feeling isolated, lonely, or having a difficult holiday season, I want you to remember that our prayer line is always available. We are here for you; so, if you need prayer or encouragement, call 1-800-329-0029 or go to Daystar.com/Prayer. Our prayer partners are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Thank you for being part of the Daystar family and making 2022 a great year! I pray blessings over you and your loved ones this holiday. May the Lord fill you with love, peace, and joy. And from my family and all of us here at Daystar, I hope you have a very merry Christmas!

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – NOVEMBER 2022

One thing I love about November is that it’s a time of year we reflect on all we are thankful for. In my life, I am so thankful for my family, their love for one another, and their passion for the things of God. I am also thankful for all of you who have stood by us this year so faithfully since Marcus was promoted to Heaven.

Over this past year, we have continued to stand for truth in the face of adversity covering topics that are often censored by media and social platforms, and our resolve has grown even stronger! We continue to thrive as we take on issues dealing with injustice and persecution, and most importantly, we’ve worked hard to reach more people with the Gospel and bring hope to those who are living through dire circumstances.

One monumental answer to prayer that we saw this year here in the United States was the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade. I have long been an advocate for the unborn and for the women who’ve suffered the pain and heartbreak of abortion. It’s my heart that every child has a chance at life, and that no woman regardless of her circumstances feels like she has no other option but abortion. We praise God for bringing this to pass.

We also recently wrapped up another successful Heart for the World. I am also so grateful for every single one of you who gave this October. Words cannot express how much it means to me personally that each of you are standing with Daystar so that every soul on this planet has the opportunity to know Jesus. You make it possible for Daystar to share God’s Word with the nations.

Please continue to pray for salvations, for a great awakening, for truth to be revealed, for people to be delivered and set free, and for fresh boldness in the Body of Christ to stand on God’s Word and walk in the authority of Christ. And as we enter this holiday season, it is my prayer that you would remember how important family is and that God would give you the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with those around you.

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – OCTOBER 2022

My dear friends, we are living in interesting days as the prophetic clock continues to tick and more signs of the times unfold. As many of you probably know, we just saw the passing of the last day of the Shemitah year and the Feast of Tabernacles is upon us. These two coinciding at this moment in time carries with it hope and warning.

We have seen some tremendous things happen this year, but we’ve also seen many turning away from truth – even in the Body of Christ. The lesson in the Feast of Tabernacles is that God is faithful to His people. Even in times of trouble, those who trust in the Lord will see the promise.

So, I want to encourage you to be bolder than ever before and dare to have big faith in the year ahead! The last year hasn’t been easy, and no one knows that better than me and my family, but we are standing firm in our determination for Daystar to be a part of the End Time harvest. We will not be shaken for we have a God who cares for us and has already made us victorious! So, we can be courageous and fearless no matter what we face.

I believe God is calling believers around the world to walk in audacious, bold faith in this coming year. We must stand up and raise our voices. God is revealing prophetic guidance for this next season through people like my dear friend Perry Stone who shared some of the visions the Lord has shown him. Now is the time for the Church to be ready and dare to believe for the harvest! And be sure to be a part of our Heart for the World this month by sowing into taking the Gospel to the nations.

Thank you for all your continuous support. And please keep my family in your prayers as we celebrate the birthdays of Jonathan Weiss and Jonathan, Suzy, and Israel Lamb. They are all such a blessing to Daystar, and we are believing for the Lord’s continued favor over each of their lives. And thank you again for continuing to make a difference around the world.

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – SEPTEMBER 2022

I think it’s easy to look around right now and realize we are living in some trying, chaotic times. The enemy has certainly elevated the amount of fear, hate, and confusion in the world, and perhaps what’s most disheartening is that it’s affecting our children and has even found its way into the Church.

We are seeing congregations celebrating sin and calling it good. There are churches embracing transgenderism, the transitioning of children, the eradication of babies through abortion, and the list just goes on and on. That’s why it is becoming all the more important to stand for truth, because if we won’t, then who will?

As a family, we recently celebrated the birthdays of my grandsons – Asher, who is three, and Judah, who turned two this year. When I think about just how quickly things are changing in the world and how it will affect their lives, I find myself feeling more vigilant and determined than ever before to shine the light of Christ and declare truth to the nations.

So, this month you will see more guests on Table Talk like Kevin and M’Lisa Goff who share about the emotional and psychological impact of abortion, Rod Parsley discussing the state of the Church, Joyce Meyer on loving people who are difficult to love, and miraculous life-after-death stories from Howard Storm and Bruce Van Natta just to name a few.

As we look ahead and continue to take a stand for truth and God’s Word, please continue to pray for our family, especially my grandchildren, that God would sow into them boldness, because they will need this in the years ahead. And I invite you to come and stand alongside us in our fight to share the truth. Next month, we will have our fall Heart for the World. Come be a part of helping us change lives all across the globe.

I declare the blessings of the Lord upon you and your family. Let’s revolutionize the world with God’s love in our generation!

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – AUGUST 2022

We are standing on the cusp of history being made and seeing God do some amazing things in this generation that are answers to decades of prayer. At Daystar, we believe that every person is created in the image of God according to the Bible. That means that every life has value and purpose. Yet, for the past 50 years, that idea has been eroded due to the landmark case known as Roe vs. Wade.

Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that effectively overturned Roe. For decades, Marcus and I have been strong advocates for preserving the life of the unborn and before he passed, he shared with me that he believed Roe vs. Wade would be overturned. Since his passing, a friend shared a dream with me in which she saw Marcus in Heaven contending for the unborn children. It gives me great joy to know that our prayers along with so many others are supernaturally affecting change. We celebrate this victory, but there are still more fights ahead. And as the Church, we must step up and be the safe, supportive place to help women in crisis.

Just as the right to life is paramount, preserving religious freedom is important as well. In a recent ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the First Amendment in the case involving former Bremerton High School football coach Joe Kennedy, who lost his job for praying on the field after a game. The court found that Kennedy’s right to freedom of religious expression had been violated. This was a monumental victory for religious freedom! We had the pleasure of sharing Joe’s story as well as hearing from Kelly Shackelford of First Liberty Institute whose team handled the case. If you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to watching it at Daystar.com/OnDemand.

These are just some of the powerful things we are seeing happen. This month Table Talk is celebrating the might of our Lord by sharing a series of near-death testimonies that you won’t want to miss. I know you’ll be blessed by them.

I praise God for you and for how He is moving on the earth! Lives are being changed like never before, and we are excited to be a part of what He’s doing in such a time as this!
