ATLANTA, July 12, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- The following was provided by Kingdom Ventures, Inc. (OTCBB:KDMV):
The Atlanta Christian Times Today announced more than 150,000 papers were circulated during the TD Jakes Mega Fest (www.mega-fest.com) festival recently held in Atlanta, GA at the Georgia Dome, Phillips Arena, and the Georgia World Congress Center. Rodney Sampson, founder of Atlanta Christian Times, inked a unique deal that positioned the Atlanta-based paper as a corporate sponsor and the newspaper of choice for festival attendees looking for the event guides and critical information. "We plan to aggressively utilize this grassroots approach to disseminate information and business opportunities related to the core competencies and values of our newspaper," stated Sampson. Sampson and his Atlanta based team have already solidified additional distribution and development agreements with major retail environments such as CVS Pharmacies; including fellowships such as Bishop Paul Morton's Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship, a non-denominational fellowship of 2500 churches; and movements such as Dr. Juanita Bynum's Women -- Weapons of Power Conference, one of the largest faith based conferences in the world.
The Atlanta Christian Times Today(tm) operates in an exciting, multi-billion dollar industry. "We directly or indirectly touch the lives of the 92% of all Atlanta's residents who embrace a belief in God," states Sampson. Almost two-thirds of Atlanta's residents consider faith to be very important in their lives. Through the tremendous success of Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion of the Christ", Atlanta, this nation, and the world have recently witnessed marketplace loyalty and economic trends that signal the undeniable emergence of a new era of Christian and faith-based marketplace opportunities. As the firm of choice for African American, Latino and faith based marketing and strategic alliances for Icon Productions, The Intellectual Currency Exchange clearly demonstrated the tremendous spending power of the church and its constituents, particularly as it related to "Passion" advance ticket sales and theatrical receipts.
