On Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, Breath of Life Television Ministries (BOL), in conjunction with the Interfaith Broadcasting Commission (IBC), will air an Easter special on NBC affiliate stations across the United States. The theme for the special is “A Living Hope.”

The one-hour program will feature an Easter message from Pastor Debleaire Snell, who serves as the Speaker/Director of Breath of Life Ministries and Senior Pastor of the Oakwood University Church in Huntsville, AL. The musical guests will be Grammy Award-winning recording artist Cece Winans, the GMA Dove Award-winning group, Selah, and violinist Patrick Bogui.

NBC, which has more than 220 affiliate television stations throughout the U.S. and its territories, is a wide-reaching platform that provides an opportunity to share the gospel.

“Our hope is that the truth of the resurrection, presented in word and song, would inspire people to look beyond the circumstances of the present to our eternal hope founded on the certain return of Jesus Christ,” said Snell.
