Television ministry touches local people
in many ways, Including providing food
EXETER -"If many people help
us in a small way, the quantity of
the service we provide will dra-
matically increase."
This was how Daniel Byelis,
chief executive officer of Em-
manuel Television Ministries and
its Samaritan Divisions concluded
his request for assistance from a
capacity crowd attending the or-
ganization's first annual Christ-
mas Celebration held at South
Huron District High School Fri-
day night.
Byelis, his four brothers, one
sister, mother Anica, father Ste-
phen and many other volunteers
have a "hands on" approach as
they attempt to deliver the mes-
sage of Christianity by broad-
casting services of Emmanuel
Baptist Church in Exeter as well
as other Ontario churches on
cable each week.
Television is not the only way
Emmanuel Television Ministries
serve the Huron County area. Sa-
maritan Thrift and Samaritan
Food Bank are two other divi-
sions Ring a need locally.
Tony Vanderlaan, who reported
on the 1996 activities of ETM
said they have reached their goal,
plus more. "It's been a year of
growth and blessing," he said.
Vanderlaan said ETM is now
able to produce a top quality prod-
uct fit for any commercial tele-
vision company. "There are some
current negotiations with churches
in Ontario. The future of this part
of the ministry looks bright and
promising," Vanderlaan added.
As well, the Samaritan Thrift
Store serves central Huron
through its outlet in Clinton. Van-
derlaan said more locations are
being looked at in Huron County,
including Exeter.
The Samaritan Food Bank was
also listed as an important part of
the ministry.
Vanderlaan estimated the retail
value of the food distributed at
$8,000 to $12,000 weekly. The
number of families receiving food

each month varies from 250 to
300.
The food bank serves a large
area from south of Lucan stretch-
ing to Dungannon in the north,
from the shore of Lake Huron to
Mitchell.
Byelis said the success of the
food bank is related to the gen-
erosity of a few businesses who
regularly donate supplies. Local
support comes from Nabisco,
Visscher Farms and Exeter Pro-
duce. Bev Robinson of Exeter is
distribution director.
ETM also has a missions divi-
sion and a support ministry team.
Byelis said the first Christmas
Celebration is a success. "It will
certainly become an annual
event."
Musical entertainment was pro-
vided by Canadian recording art-
ist Hiram Joseph and Exeter vo-
calist Janet Krahn. .
