Camera assistant, Carolinda Smith (who was not saved here but is saved now,
praise the lord) and Elder Johnson in 1984.
Jesus Is The Answer Television Ministries, and The Apostolic Broadcasting Network, was started in 1983. Our first program aired on Compton's Heritage Cable Television Station on the Religious Channel 19. Jesus Is The Answer television program was the first program to air. It grew from one night per week to six nights per week. We stayed there for 16 years reaching souls in Compton and South Central Los Angeles with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pictured is Bro. Elzie Hooks and Minister Eric Holyfield in front
of the television mobile production unit that has filmed over 800 episodes of
the JESUS IS THE ANSWER Television program.
Elder Ernest Johnson stands in the door of the truck to instruct
the director of the shots that he wants. This truck was always used on
location shoots at churches and conventions.
After 16 years of cable television Pastor Johnson and the Jesus Is The Answer
Ministries expanded to cable stations all over America.
Cable lasted for a few more year until the Lord spoke to Elder Johnson to leave
cable to expand to regular television. Paul & Jan Crouch became a
blessing to Elder Johnson by allowing him to appear on the world- wide
Praise-The-Lord Program whenever needed to promote special services of the RUSH
CRUSADES. TBN also allowed Elder Johnson to bring on Todd Bridges whenever
they go on a national crusade.
Elder Johnson poses with special guests for one of the JITA programs, and the
director, Gray Gravening and his assistant.
The Jesus Is The Answer Television Ministry has found a home on KSCI channel
18 in Los Angeles, CA. every Sunday Morning at 5:00A.M. We have been there for
one year now and the Lord Is blessing.
Elder Ernest Johnson and Bro. Todd Bridges
back
in the early days of television when JITA had just
begun. Todd was being drawn by God at that time.
Now the whole Bridges family have been baptized
in Jesus Name and been filled with the Holy Ghost.

Dale Evans (wife of the late Roy Rogers), Bro. Todd Bridges, & Bro.
Charles Sherman (St. John's Apostolic Church of L.A., CA.) after a television
taping of
A DATE WITH DALE for the TBN Network.
We solicit your prayers. Our expanding vision is to have a regular spot on the TBN network. This will transpire after we get settled in a home church building.
Pastor El Doris Bonner enjoys a photo shoot with Sis. Dale Evans. We
were also blessed to have lunch with Sis. Dale. She treated God's people
to a great lunch and a free tour of the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum
In Apple Valley, CA. To God Be The Glory for the things that He has done
and will do, in Jesus Name, Amen.

This page is dedicated to Ernest Crayton III, who lost his life, at 19, to senseless
gang violence on the streets of So. Central Los Angeles. He was
Faithful to the television ministry. When the church was going through
Financially, He was the only one to make a commitment to keep going
without pay until the church restructured and got back on its feet.
He traveled with the Bishop many places in and out of the state.
For this I love you "E". You are missed greatly and you will never be
forgotten.
You name will hang on our new television studio facilities along with your pic.
This One's For You "E" We Love You At JITA!
We will continue to tell-the-vision as we tell
the world that
"JESUS IS THE ANSWER"
