Revelation TV is a UK Christian television channel, that was started by Howard (an ex-Jehovah Witness) and Lesley Conder in 2003; the channel broadcasts on Sky Digital

Revelation is unique for a Christian channel because of its high amount of self-created programming. They regularly produce their own shows such as World In Focus, Church In Focus and R-Mornings.

They also feature many programmes discussing the end times and the nation of Israel's role in it. They are strong supporters of Zionism and regularly feature appearances from Messianic Jews. The channel is highly multi-cultural with participation from black and Asian Christians, though 'multi-culturalism' is regularly crticised by presenters. Lately they have had quite a bit of programming from Arab Christians as well as Christian converts from regions like Pakistan.

The Revelation TV Team

Howard Conder - Co founder

Howard has had a varied life. Starting off as a drummer in such 60s groups as The Baron Knights and Joe Brown and the Bruvvers, he found himself running his own company in the music business at the age of 23. He was rich, successful but not contented and embarked on a spiritual search at about that time, examining other religions but seeing truth only within the pages of the Bible. In 1982 he married Lesley and, after running a recording studio in Florida, they joined YWAM's Discipleship Training School course. Then, although Howard intended to join their Media team in Texas, the Lord spoke to him through a man of God, indicating that he should go to Eastern Europe instead. Howard was obedient in this and he and Lesley spent some time in Romania. Soon afterwards, Howard felt the Lord stirring up a desire to see quality Christian Television established in the UK. This started to become reality in 1995 and particularly so a couple of years later, when he produced the successful 'Revelation' interview programmes. Then, in 2003, he launched Revelation TV with Lesley and the rest, as they say, is history.

Lesley Conder - Co founder

Lesley has been married to Howard for 26 years. Shortly after they married they moved to Florida in USA and set up a recording studio which became hugely successful and also gave them their first taste of Christian Music. Also, this gave them their first taste of church life where praise and worship replaced hymns and Bible study taught us the significance of actually inviting Jesus into our hearts and being 'born again', a term they were just not used to! They have four lovely children, Luke, Joel, Rebecca and Bethany, all of whom are heavily involved in the running of Genesis and Revelation TV and whose skills vary from Playout operators to schedulers to camera operators to sound operators to programme presenters. They are all dedicated to the vision and work hard to help reach those who need to be fed through music, testimonies, ministry, and talk shows. Lesley works mainly in the office and also handle much of the advertising and sale of airtime as well as viewer response. Her days are long and she often finds it quite a challenge to juggle the demands of family life with the ministry of Genesis and Revelation TV. Lesley says 'It must be through God's Grace that our children are well cared for, fed healthy meals, and live in a nice clean environment!! Revelation TV is not a job for me, it is our life ,and we give our life to The Lord to use us as He so chooses. I still can't understand why God would have chosen such an ordinary family to do such an unordinary task but we have been obedient and carry the vision with enthusiasm and determination!'
