LETTERS FROM JONI LAMB – APRIL 2024

April 5, 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

March 20, 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

February 2, 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

January 2, 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 – OCTOBER 2023

October 10, 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

September 1, 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

August 2, 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

July 6, 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

June 2, 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

May 6, 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.
