I remember him stating he had never seen this response, and he said the last church in Texas he had 100 visitors himself.
Do you have any knowledge of any other LARGE (over 250 member) ALJC church in America using TV advertising?

Yes. A daugther work of the TN church in another town has about 450 going there and they have a tv program too. A church in Va has 300 with a TV broadcast. There is a couple of PAW churches that have tv ministry and run over 400. Also there is a church in Ohio that had a tv ministry at one time and they are 650-700. And there was another in LA that is over 300. So a few.
I think to lump all the churches together and say it will not work is foolish.
I am not meaning that is what you are saying, I am just saying this in general. Knocking doors in the south is much easier than anywhere else. The tv thing is not though. Sure the south is open to Christians and ministries. But I will tell you that in those areas that people will not responed to door knocking, if you can get into their homes on tv then you have a greater chance than just door knocking alone.
If someone knocks on a door in New England, like you were saying, people may not respond. But why stop there if you have a Tv program that gets into their homes not matter what they say. If they see it and the contact info in there they might contact you. But if you only knock doors and have no response and that is main focus of the outreach, then you are dead in the water.
