Since 2006, Pastor Bates has been proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ through his television program, “Bridging the Gap.” Pastor Bates’ vision is to “bridge the gap of separation between ‘that which was’ and ‘that which is’ in the full-gospel movement.” He has featured pioneers of the gospel, some who have passed on to Glory, to build the faith of the younger generations. Pastor Bates declares that demonstrations of healing, deliverance, and salvation are a common ground of experience for both the young and the old. He is preaching a message of revival: a world-wide awakening of these manifestations among ALL people.

Bridging the Gap can be viewed around the United States and the world through satellites and cable systems (visit the Media Guide link for availabilities in your area). Pastor Bates’ TV ministry is financially supported through the contributions of the Bridge Builder Partners and the sales from the ministry’s preaching and music products.
