Melvin Klaudt To Host New TV Show

On April 7, 2008, Melvin Klaudt will be co-hosting Dove Broadcasting’s Nite-Line program in Greenville, SC. This live program, aired at 8:00 - 10::00 PM, will be the first public showing of some of the Klaudt Indian Family’s songs on video that they did not know even existed. The videos seemed to come out of nowhere and were produced in the 1960’s and early 1970’s.

Melvin stated that this program will also kick off “Phase Two” of the Family’s ministry to Native Americans. The family has been presenting scholarships to needy talented American Indian students for several years now. These scholarships have been presented through the Family’s foundation, the Klaudt Indian Memorial Foundation. More information can be gleaned by going to their Web Site, www.klaudtmemorial.com

Over the next few months, a specific schedule will be announced to fill the many calls that are coming in, and will be coming in, to present the Foundation’s ministry.

In 1928, 80 years ago, Mom and Dad Klaudt met and began to plan their life long heart for the salvation of souls, Dad Klaudt, as a young teenage evangelist and Mom Klaudt as a young teenage missionary on her own reservation, the Fort Berthold Indian reservation in North Dakota. After their marriage in 1929, their first mission field of ministry was on Indian reservations. This initial ministry has now come full circle and is being fulfilled by the siblings of Mom and Dad Klaudt.

The Klaudt Family Siblings now believe that this lineage of obedience and faithfulness that Mom and Dad Klaudt displayed over the years has now fallen on their shoulders to complete. Melvin said, “I am humbled by the mantel that has been placed on me personally to hit the road and minister to some of the most forgotten people in this nation. We desperately need revival on our reservations and in this nation”.

“Phase Two” will also have a ministry to Native American Kids. This ministry is being developed by Raymond Klaudt, who now resides in California and will be introduced sometime this summer. The program that Raymond is developing will also be made available to churches that have a like burden for Native American missions.

If you are in the viewing area of WGGS - TV 16 in Greenville, SC please tune in on April 7 @ 8:00 PM.

Melvin Klaudt , who is also on the Board of Directors of Dove Broadcasting’s Channel 57 in Atlanta, requests that you pray for television stations all across this nation that have a burden for the message of Christ.
