ISRAEL – A Pro-Israel Christian news agency based in the USA and Southern Israel, is activating millions of people into strategic prayer and keeping watch. It is changing lives, spiritual leaders, and congregations through concise news briefs, insightful articles, and a YouTube channel that connects current events with prophecy. The intention is to bring an understanding within the matter of minutes to the Body of Messiah about the present times, informing them how to pray about it, and providing directions of what to do about it.

George Whitten, Maryland-native, pastor/revivalist of Worthy Ministries, and husband of Baht Rivka Whitten, an Israeli-born music artist/worship leader, was tasked with a God-given mission to start a prophetic news ministry that would vastly expand into lives and churches worldwide. He is the founder and CEO of Worthy News, a non-profit Christian news syndicated service, which is a division of Worthy Ministries, that freely provides news to any church or ministry.

“We cover what’s happening around the world, what’s happening in Israel, what’s happening in the United States, and what’s happening to believers. The other idea was to get people worthy. So it’s actually preparing the bride for seeing the bridegroom.”

In 1999, Worthy News was officially birthed and evolved into a highly influential news organization, being in the top 10 Christian news sites since it was founded. With the help of his wife and dedicated journalists located in various countries, Worthy News is impacting Christians globally in over 120 countries. Whitten’s leap of faith into God’s call to provide Christian News has had positive results. They keep the world informed in a prophetic and brief manner.

This unique news service goes beyond informing the audience of current events. Worthy News takes an additional step to omit the junk news and maintain the information that really matters. They provide articles that are “practical and relevant to the Body of Messiah and its watchmen” (Worthy Ministries). In addition to that, they analyze the current events that are relevant and connect it with scripture and prophecies, with 12-15 prayer points. They provide guidance, understanding, and spiritual insight of how to discern the times through their online news site, daily devotions, and YouTube Channel.

According to Whitten, there is an extreme importance of being informed with understanding. He likens this concept with the Sons of Issachar in 1 Chronicles 12:32. In this scripture, the Sons of Issachar were “men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do,” which is the same focus for Worthy News. That mission is to bring understanding to the Body of Christ, and equip them with the knowledge of what to do about it.

In a world filled with information overload from 24/7 news that can be somewhat depressing, Worthy News is shining a light through the news positively. The audience of this news service are just as informed with concise and convenient information, within the matter of 10-15 minutes.

“The news is often so negative. If you get overwhelmed by it, you can…be consumed by it. Too often people are overwhelmed by the news and overwhelmed by the amount of information. We basically reduce that down and condense that down to make it a digestible format that’s easy, readable, and informative.”

Daily devotions and news briefs, called “Worthy Briefs“, are sent to over 35,000 people a day. These Worthy Briefs are conveniently emailed directly to your inbox daily, containing today’s date, a personal greeting, scripture, and a devotion that ties in with the times. After that, it transitions into a final thought personalized to you, that shares how to pray about the information provided, and how to play your part. Then it wraps up with a conclusion that is signed by the Whitten Family with “Agape Love.” The Worthy News mailing list contains 1200 to 1500 pastors who are sharing this information with their congregations. They also provide a massive volume of services within the news site in addition to news, ranging from TV, forums, chat, devotionals, prayer, reading the bible, blogs, comics and more!

According to Worthy Ministries, millions are utilizing “these sites and services such as Worthy News, Worthy Chat, Worthy Devotions, and Worthy Christian Forums.” Whitten believes that Worthy News is not only encouraging the layman and the leadership of the Body of Christ. He believes it will be used as a stimulant for something way greater.

“The idea of Worthy really was meant to be a catalyst for REVIVAL.”

In addition to bringing concise news with a belief of it igniting revival, they are positioning the Bride of Christ into a place of worth, thus explaining the name, Worthy News. It was built upon the foundation of a powerful scripture “Watch, ye therefore, and pray always” which is necessary for the Bride of Christ to be prepared for His return. According to Whitten, the ancient Hebrew meaning of “watch” is “notzrim” (נוצרים). Notzrim is the modern Hebrew word for “Christian.”

Through Worthy News, Christians are being enlightened, activated, and empowered to make a change by understanding the current events. While others are brought into a place of fear, through 24/7 news, Whitten is enlightening audiences through insight. He wants the world to know through Worthy News, that this is actually a time of the harvest which connects to something bigger…the Kingdom.

“I’m not a doom and gloomer. It’s not the end of the world. It’s really the birthing of a kingdom. It is about the harvest of the world. When you focus on the harvest, the kingdom, and on discipleship, then the events that are happening aren’t meant to paralyze someone, it’s actually meant to activate…to encourage the Body to fulfill their calling.”
