A MESSAGE FROM THEPRESIDENT

NOTHING TO FEAR FOR THE FUTUREWe have nothing to fear for the future. Those words sound strange in a world where nations are crumbling, economies are disintegrating, and once-trusted institutions are faltering. In fulfillment of the prophecy of Jesus, we witness all around us “men’s hearts failing them from fear...” 1

How then can we courageously declare “we have nothing to fear for the future”? Consider this wise and inspired counsel: “In reviewing our past history, having traveled over every step of advance to our present standing, I can say, ‘Praise God!’ As I see what the Lord has wrought, I am filled with astonishment and with confidence in Christ our Leader. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.” 2

As we stand at the beginning of a new decade, let’s take a moment to review our past history and see how the Lord has led Hope Channel in the past ten years. In 2010, there were less than 20 Hope Channel affiliates around the world. Today, there are almost 60! The number of affiliates in our global evangelistic media ministry has tripled in just ten years! Surely, we can say, “’Praise God!’ We are filled with astonishment and with confidence in Christ our Leader. Tens of thousands of precious souls are finding a saving relationship with Jesus Christ every year. Our Hope Channel affiliates around the world are playing a vital role to help our viewers on the life-changing journey From Broadcast to Baptism and Beyond.

The way we are delivering life-changing programs has also changed dramatically over the past decade. People are watching as much linear television as ever, but they have also added a second screen. Have you noticed how many individuals walk around or sit at their desk staring at their smart phones? This is called the second screen effect. My smart phone even tells me how many hours per day I’m consuming data from my hand-held device! Hope Channel has responded to these monumental changes in the media industry by introducing the Hope Channel App. The app is available on smart phones, tablets, smart TVs, and OTT platforms like Roku and is being used in over 220 countries around the world! People of all ages can access life-changing programs anytime—whether they are waiting for their next appointment, traveling a long distance, or relaxing in the park.

Our global team is also delivering shorter content that is more appropriate for social media, like Facebook and Instagram. I recently returned from Brazil, where our largest

Hope Channel affiliate, Novo Tempo, is located. On December 4, 2019, the leaders of Novo Tempo dedicated a new building on their campus, providing a significant amount of space for their Social Media and Digital Evangelism team. These team members are young and wholeheartedly committed to using new technology to share God’s Good News of a better life for today and for eternity!

We are also offering exciting new digital Hope Channel Bible Study Guides that can be accessed on smart phones, tablets, and laptops. Vyacheslav Demyan, our new vice president for programming at Hope Channel International, pioneered these digital Bible studies at our Hope Channel affiliate in Ukraine. In the coming months and years, we will make this technology available to all of our Hope Channel affiliates around the world! Imagine tens of thousands of new Bible study interests learning the precious life-changing truths of the Word of God!

In 1848, Ellen White shared that media ministry would be “like streams of light that went clear round the world.”3 That prophetic word was first fulfilled in our publishing ministry. Now Hope Channel has expanded to a global evangelistic media ministry with almost 60 affiliates around the world, broadcasting in more than 60 languages. As we continue to trust in Christ our Leader, follow His leading, and faithfully share the precious truths of His Word in fresh and relevant ways, we have nothing to fear. Remember this precious promise of the LORD given through the prophet Isaiah: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”4

Thank you for your commitment to be a part of this great miracle of God. Your prayers and generous financial support are making a difference in the lives of thousands of viewers around the world!

With thanks and prayers,

Derek Morris

President, Hope Channel International, Inc.

The way we use technology for evangelism has changed drastically in the last decade. People have access to an abundance of

information right at the tip of their fingers, and they have the ability to spread the gospel whenever and wherever. See what our viewers

INSIDE HOPE CHANNELBy JOSUE GARCIA, Video EditorGrowing up in the church has been a wonderful blessing from God. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia with loving, Christian parents who taught me everything about Jesus Christ and the church. They also had a passion for media. Their passion inspired me, and I would find myself constantly hold-ing a camera and recording everything I did. I had no inclination that I would be involved in media ministry in the future—it was just something I enjoyed experimenting with as a teenager.

For a long time, I felt lost and I did not know exactly what to do or where I should go with my life. Deep down I knew I wanted to share the gospel, but I never felt like I could be someone who could preach or be seen. I desired to help push the beautiful message forward through the talents God gave me and that was video editing.

High school is where my passion and skill for making videos developed. As I grew over the years, I helped the church and differ-ent ministries make videos and I realized I wanted to dedicate this skill wholeheartedly to God. It was at this moment that a new path opened up for me. Finally, I did not feel lost anymore—I had a purpose and mission. I began to embark on a journey to hone and improve my skills, which led me to Miami International University of Art and Design.

It was there where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Film and Digital Production. With this new background, I felt more confident in helping others with media and creating content on my own. I became more involved in the church by making videos for Pathfind-ers and even helping the local academy with teaching other students about video production.

While attending the university, I wrote to Hope Channel hoping to receive an internship and by God’s grace, I got it! The internship soon led to a job and it has now been 8 years since I have been working here. Throughout my time here, I have met the most wonderful mission-oriented people.

As one of the Video Editors, I work on nu-merous, life-changing programs that help people learn more about Jesus. I witness the miracles that God carries out through Hope Channel in so many people's lives. The bless-ing of being a part of this team was a dream I never imagined would happen. God opened every door in order for me to be a part of His ministry. Regardless of how many times oth-ers tried to prevent me from working for Him, God led otherwise. Through that, I witnessed how strong God really is. I know God’s plan for me doesn’t end here and that He has much more in store for me.

Looking back on the last decade, it’s amazing to see how God has blessed Hope Channel. What began as a small television network with a few local partners has blossomed into an international organization with nearly 60 global affiliates. How did this work come about?

The Word of God tells us “whoever sows gener-ously will also reap generously” (2 Corinthians 9:6 NIV). Over the last decade, people like yourself heard the call to help support the ministry of Hope Channel and funded projects worth millions of dollars ensuring that seekers of Bible truth would have a place to come get their answers.

While some may enquire, “Are you asking me to give one million dollars?” let’s read further to see what the Apostle Paul tells Christians when it comes to having an attitude of giving in steward-ship. The principles may stay the same, however the application may be different for each person. “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give” (2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV). That

number may not be the same for you as it is for your friend across the street.

For some, God may be calling you to become a Sustaining Partner, supporting Hope Channel with an automatic gift each month. These gifts are important for continuing the quality production and programs that draw people around the world to support the ministry.

For others, God may be calling you to make a one-time gift. Perhaps you received an additional bonus or inherited some extra money. Maybe God has blessed you with much and you want to dedicate it to a special project that He is impress-ing upon your heart. For some donors, God has impressed them to help start new Hope Channel affiliates in a particular country or region. Recently we’ve seen some of our largest growth because of these types of donors.

Most of the funds that support Hope Channel, however, don’t come from just one person. The

A LEGACY OF HELPING

majority of our support comes from donors who give small gifts, such as $10 or $20 at a time. These donors are just as important because as scripture states, “not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV). What God cares about is not the amount but the attitude. Donors don’t support Hope Channel be-cause they feel they have to, donors support Hope Channel because we all believe in the mission of taking the good news of Jesus’s love to a world who needs Him!

Another effective way to support Hope Channel is through Planned Giving. Just like immediate giv-ing, Planned Giving is rooted in Biblical principles. The whole plan of salvation is even based on this model, as we are told that God created the plan for Jesus to save us before the world began.

Over the last decade, hundreds of seekers of Bibli-cal truth have supported Hope Channel through Planned Giving. For some it has been as simple as including Hope Channel in their wills. Others have named Hope Channel as the beneficiary on their financial accounts (retirement, checking, savings, etc.). Still others have gone further and created a trust where they named Hope Channel as the beneficiary when those who set up the trust no longer had need of the resources.

One of the most effective ways to support Hope Channel is through a Planned Gift directly with us. Hope Channel is blessed to have a large Chari-

table Gift Annuities program. This way of giving is created based on the Biblical method found in Proverbs 3:9-10 which states “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”

A Charitable Gift Annuity is a way for you, the donor, to support Hope Channel and receive payments for life which can help take care of both your loved ones and the ministry in which you so strongly believe. This allows both the donor and Hope Channel to take advantage of tax savings that the laws of our nations have generously provided.

When you support Hope Channel whether through immediate or planned giving, you help ensure that your favorite programs–Let’s Pray, Hope Sabbath School, Go Healthy for Good and many others–have the resources needed to keep sharing beautiful Biblical truths around the world. Your support also helps Hope Channel create new programs such as Bible HelpDesk, The Verse and others targeted specifically towards the younger generations.

Thank you for partnering with us in ministry for Je-sus. While the laborers may be few, through your gifts we can exponentially multiply the impact so that the whole world will have the chance to hear the beautiful Gospel truths from the Word of God until the soon return of our Lord.

Why did you decide to go on the Study Tour?I had read the Great Controversy in my youth and was very impressed by the faith of the Reformers. Joining this Study Tour would en-hance the reading experience as I would see historical evidence of the Reformers' faith-filled journeys. In heaven, we look forward to having the opportunity to speak with them and relive their stories, but we're not there yet. This Study Tour is preparation for heaven since it deepened my faith and developed my appreciation for truth and God's Word.

What was your favorite memory from the trip?By visiting the sites of Reformers big and small and walking in their footsteps, it gave us an opportunity to reflect on whether we are able to stand for God's Word as they had done. Visiting the Waldensian Valley showed me that a humble family could make the same impact as did Huss or Luther.

What did you learn the most from the trip?These giants of faith died to preserve por-tions of the Bible I neglect to read. They had surrendered their lives completely to God and were filled with the Holy Spirit. We need, more than ever, to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit both personally and corpo-rately.

What would you say to someone who is thinking about attending but is unsure?It is an unforgettable experience! It is a glimpse into the lives of those who secured the Word we often take for granted.

This experience can be yours! Hope Channel invites you to join Derek & Bodil Morris and

Gerard & Laurel Damsteegt and witness im-portant Reformation sites throughout Europe

as well as what God is doing today in the Waldensian Valleys!

Inspiration and conviction filled the faces of indi-viduals and families attending the 2019 Celebra-tion of Hope events. As they listened to powerful guest speakers, beautiful musical performances, and life-changing testimonies, hearts and minds were filled with joy, appreciation, and transforma-tion.

Celebration of Hope is a weekend event dedicated to supporters of the Hope Channel mission with a minimum annual donation of $1500. These generous gifts play a vital role in growing and ex-panding Hope Channel’s global reach through the production of new programs. With the faithfulness of our donors, millions have access to spiritually invigorating programs and resources.

This year, Celebration of Hope had over 300 attendees! We had insightful presentations by

Willie and Elaine Oliver, Oleg Kostyuk and Dwight Nelson. Willie and Elaine Oliver spoke about how husbands and wives are to be “intimate allies” for the Gospel wok. Oleg Kostyuk demonstrated what Ultra Living as a Christian looks like and Dwight Nelson shared stories from viewers of how televi-sion ministry is a powerful channel for the Holy Spirit to change lives and draw people to Christ. Special musical performances by Rudy Micelli, Jennifer LaMountain, and the Love at Work musi-cal provided a sense of worship at each venue. Both the Hope Channel team and attendees expe-rienced a weekend of blessings and community.

Hope Channel would like to extend a special thank you to all those involved in the making of each Celebration of Hope event, and looks forward to the events of 2020.

On an island city state in south-east Asia, Hope Channel Inter-national, Inc (HCI) welcomes a new affiliate to the family.

Hope Channel Singapore (HCS) officially launched on Sep-tember 21, 2019. The launch was inaugurated by the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) world church president, Ted Wilson and HCI president, Derek Morris, as they gave their blessings through video.

Singapore Adventist Conference president, Pastor Johnny Kan, gave a rousing speech at the event on how church mem-bers can become online missionaries. The 1,300 members of the Singapore SDA churches were challenged with the slogan, “It starts with me,” as Pastor Kan elaborated on the need to evangelize and on discipling others.

“It starts with me.”Pastor Kan also shared some methods on reaching out such as sharing HCS videos on personal social media platforms, praying for potential interests and helping visitors integrate into local church fellowship.

At the Discipleship Congress, HCS received 389 new subscrib-ers to their contact list, gained 345 followers on Facebook, and many volunteer interests.

Reaching the Unreached

Through its videos and resources, HCS sets its sights to engage an audience in Singapore who have yet to taste the goodness of God and the gospel.

HCS recruited the pastors of local Adventist churches as its first volunteer hosts for a de-votional vlog series, “Tree of Life.” By applying a spiritual lesson to a slice of their lives, these pastors share the transforming word of God in a locally relevant, bite-sized manner. These vid-eos are then distributed through HCS’s official social media, website and mobile platforms.

The channel also launched “Revv Up,” a God-focused motivational video series where influential spiritual figures, such as Pastor Doug Batchelor and Dr. Wintley Phipps, share about the life-changing encounters they had with God. These hosts then share how their experi-ences led to a trajectory of service for God.

1,385 new visitors to the HCS website.

As of January 2020, HCS has seen 1,385 new visitors to the HCS website and attracted 788 followers on its Facebook page through vari-ous programme offerings and social media outreach.

A More Targeted Ef fort Required

For effectiveness in inspiring a life-transforming connection with Jesus in a highly-urbanised, multi-racial, multi-religious city state, HCS realised the need for a more targeted effort in its offerings.

In partnership with a market research company, Milleu, HCS conducted a study to identify the demographic data, behavioural traits and me-dia consumption habits of people in Singapore, who want to learn more about Christianity.

With a smartphone penetration share of 78 percent, Singapore stands as a leading country for the use and engagement of smartphones1 with monthly internet usage at 99.1% for those aged 15 to 44 years2.

In line with the media consumption habits of the channel’s target audience, which reflects a high skew in mobile internet usage, HCS has also opted for a video-on-demand format where viewers can binge watch their favourite HCS programmes at their leisure.

Armed with this information, HCS is set to launch the first season of a testimony series featuring young families and couples in 2020. The station has also started conceptualising an animation series on the Biblical roots in ancient Chinese characters to reach this audience, among other programmes in the works.
