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!

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – JULY 2022

As America celebrates its independence, I’m reminded of the biblical significance of freedom. Galatians 5:1 tells us “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” The Lord has purpose in our freedom, and we must preserve it. This is at the heart of why Daystar has remained firmly committed to bringing uncensored truth and standing up to protect liberty. Recently we did programs with Jimmy Evans and former Congresswoman Michele Bachman on some treaty amendments involved the WHO and the World Health Assembly which would threaten the sovereignty of multiple nations. Yet because many like you, including 47 African Nations, dared to stand against it, the measure stalled out, failing to generate enough support. This was a major victory for freedom.

As we talk about Independence Day this month, we must remember that we’ve got to be willing to stand up for liberty. We can’t live our lives based on political correctness, but rather on what the Word of God says. We have entered into a season where the Lord is separating the wheat from the chaff. And Daystar will continue to bring you truth and unapologetically stand on the Bible.

We are able to do programming on these important topics because of your support. We are not sponsored by pharmaceutical companies or big corporations, and we don’t have commercials. What we do have is a faithful group of partners that help us build God’s Kingdom and set captives free. This past spring, we received record support during Heart for the World! And we have added more life-changing content that you are already letting me know you are enjoying such as FlashPoint hosted by Gene Bailey which features Mario Murillo, Lance Wallnau, and Hank Kunneman. Also, we have added the anointed ministry of Celebration Church with Tim Timberlake.

Thank you for standing with us and empowering us to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of so many. Recently, I had the distinct honor of receiving on behalf of Marcus, myself, and all of you amazing partners the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award. I graciously accepted this award on your behalf because you’ve helped us serve so many, especially those facing the effects of natural disasters or unfortunate circumstances. It is perhaps one of the greatest hallmarks of freedom to be able to help one another, and you made it possible! Thank you for standing with all of us here at Daystar!

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – JUNE 2022

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 2022

Hello Daystar Family,

With everything going on in the world today, it can be easy to get concerned or even fearful, but you are not alone. We are here to minister to you in whatever season you’re in. Our prayer lines are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

Before Marcus passed, he planned for Daystar to double our efforts of standing for freedom. Along with other ministries, organizations, and states, Daystar joined the First Liberty Institute lawsuit challenging the present Administration’s attempt to create an OSHA rule mandating COVID vaccinations for businesses with more than 100 employees. The Supreme Court issued a stay effectively blocking its enforcement leading OSHA to withdraw the rule. To God be the glory!

Additionally, we’ve seen some exciting growth this season, and I am excited to update you on what’s happening in our family. Jonathan, Suzy, and the children are doing great! Jonathan Lamb continues to take on more leadership responsibilities as Daystar’s Vice President. Suzy released a beautiful song last month for Easter entitled “Champion of Heaven.” If you haven’t heard it yet, make sure to check it out.

Heart for the World was so special this year and a big thanks to my daughter Rachel Lamb Brown for helping lead and make it successful. Her dad would be so proud of her pursuit of excellence and helping me navigate so beautifully in his absence. She is also enjoying motherhood, and Judah is growing up so fast. Her husband, Joshua Brown, is about to celebrate his 40th Birthday, and he is heading the development of Daystar Español, launching this year.

I’m so excited about my fifth grand baby coming! My grandson Asher is going to be a big brother soon! Jonathan and Rebecca Weiss are due to welcome their second baby boy this month as well as celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary. Jonathan is doing a great job with our IT department, and Rebecca has launched her new podcast On Air with Rebecca. So, be sure to go subscribe!

As we continue to move forward in this season, I am so proud of our family for stepping up to the plate and helping me lead in so many ways. I know Marcus is proud from Heaven’s balcony. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued prayers!

 

Yours for Christian Television,
Joni Lamb

 

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – APRIL 2022

Words could never express just how much of a blessing you are! First, I want to thank all of you who have emailed, called, and sent cards voicing your condolences and support after my sweetheart, Marcus, was promoted to Heaven. It meant so much to me personally and to my family. Second, I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who gave and pledged during our recent Heart for the World. I was deeply touched that so many of you are helping carry on Marcus’s legacy and vision for Daystar. He laid such a great foundation, and you are taking that vision forward into a new season. Thank you for standing with me and with Daystar, and I know Marcus is in that great cloud of witnesses looking down to cheer all of us on and is rallying Heaven on our behalf.

This Heart for the World was truly special for us. It was such a blessing to have such dear friends like Perry Stone, Robert Morris, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jimmy Evans, Larry Huch, Dr. Bryan Ardis, Del Bigtree, Lance Wallnau, and Darius Johnston join us for a powerful time of sowing into building the Kingdom and pouring out God’s love to the nations. Because of your giving, we’ve already sent out over half a million dollars to help rescue Jewish families and bring humanitarian aid to the region in and around Ukraine. Through the support of partners around the world, we were able to give $100,000 to Orphan’s Hands to help the displaced refuges as well as give $200,000 to Christians United for Israel and $250,000 to Ezra International to help Jewish families being affected by the war.

I want to extend a special thank you to the many ministry friends who shared special messages and memories to honor Marcus’s legacy. We will never forget how much it blessed our family, and please know that your encouragement and how you are standing alongside us has truly touched our hearts.

Looking ahead, I’m reminded of just how passionate Marcus was for the future, and I want you all to know that each of you have a part in his legacy. I’ve received many words from various prophetic voices that God will be faithful and is taking us forward into even bigger things. There are some exciting developments and major opportunities that are just on the horizon, and I can hardly wait to share them with you. So, be sure to keep an eye out for some major announcements in upcoming newsletters. Thank you again, and I pray the Lord pours out His favor and blessings on you this year!

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – MARCH 2022

March 2022 – President Letter

Many times, life will bring us to an unexpected new season. Whether it’s an unplanned career change due to uncontrollable circumstances or an open door of opportunity that turns out different that you thought. But the exciting thing about stepping into a new chapter is that God has plans for it that we can’t even fathom.

I had no idea what God had in store for me in 2021, but He’s set up bold, new things for 2022, showing Himself not just faithful, but invested in Daystar. My dear friend, Pastor Shawn Bolz, shared with me that on the night Marcus passed, he had been praying and believing for his healing. At 2am California time, Shawn saw a bright flash of light outside his window. He told me that in that moment he thought, “God has either miraculously healed Marcus or taken him home to Heaven.” Of course, as many of you know, Marcus passed away at 4am Texas time. It was the exact moment Shawn saw that great flash of light. It was a confirmation that God’s hand was in this, and He was still in control.

I received a letter from a viewer sharing an encouraging word from the Lord for our family and Daystar. The Lord said, “Your steps are called by ME – and I see you following My voice.” And that is our mandate, to follow His voice.

So, we are all the more committed to taking Daystar forward, boldly stepping out into the unexpected. We will continue to take the Gospel around the world to all nations. We will also continue to not be ashamed of the Holy Spirit. And as He empowers us, we will lead the charge for declaring truth and seeing people set free in their lives.

Recently, many of you partnered once again with Daystar during Heart for the World. Your response was so tremendous, and I personally want to thank you for all you do to help us take the Gospel to every corner of the earth. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit and being faithful in all your support.

I am also excited to announce that Jonathan Lamb will step into the role of Vice President at Daystar. Together, we will carry on Marcus Lamb’s legacy and blaze new trails. Marcus and I had many discussions about the plans for Daystar’s future, and we will see those become reality for the glory of our Heavenly Father.

LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – FEBRUARY 2022

The Vision Moves Forward

There’s a beautiful lesson in creation that a vision moves forward beyond where the seed was planted. Consider the forest and all its trees and shrubs that sprawl across the landscape. Every tree began as a seed, but every tree produces thousands of seeds that find their way far past the reach of its branches.

As we look ahead to the future, there are so many new chapters unfolding at Daystar in 2022. Yes, last year ended with the unexpected passing of my sweetheart, Marcus Lamb, but I want you to know that he never stopped casting the vision forward. In his last days, he shared that he wanted Daystar to be an even better friend to Israel. So, this year, we will seek more exciting opportunities to show our love and support of the Jewish people.

He also wanted to focus even more on winning souls, standing for truth, and not being ashamed of the Holy Spirit. Those wheels were already set in motion with the studio redesign for Ministry Now, but this year, we will be introducing the exciting new set for Joni Table Talk. This means that we are not just committed to moving ahead, but we are blazing brave new trails to cover more important topics, stand against censorship, and bring more people the opportunity to experience the life changing power of the Gospel.

But we’re not stopping there! We’re also planning to expand how people experience Daystar with our first-ever Spanish-speaking channel, Daystar Español. Marcus had such a love for the Latin communities here in the United States and around the world. So, we will be picking up that torch and bringing Christ’s message of love, hope, and joy to the beautiful Latin communities of the earth. Be sure to check Daystar.com for official launch information, and please contact your cable and satellite provider and ask them to make Daystar Español part of their lineup.

These are just a few of the exciting new things coming your way in 2022, and you can continue to expect the same quality programming and thought-provoking topics Daystar is known for. Thank you for being a part of the Daystar family. Together we are moving the vision forward.
