On April 15, 2006, GLC launched on APR-1 (Insat 2E) to provide its signal to the Eastern hemisphere. Because of the APR-1 satellite, On May 1, 2007, GLC was able to launch on the EutelSat W2 which covers Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Russia for direct-to-home satellite viewing.
GLC focuses on several general topics:
- Bridging the gap between Christians and their Hebraic heritage.
- Standing against Replacement Theology by proving through scripture that Christians do not Replace the Jews as the Chosen people, but are rather grafted into the promises given to their father Abraham.
