The Southern Asia-Pacific Division (SSD) launched a 10-night online series titled Finding Hope on December 3, 2025. The hybrid event, led by Hensley Moorooven, undersecretary of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, is airing nightly at 7 p.m. Philippine time across all Hope Channel platforms within the SSD region.

This series marks the culmination of SSD’s yearlong evangelistic initiative known as Harvest 2025. Throughout the year, churches, organizations, institutions, and leaders across the division united in a continuous cycle of mission activities, prayer gatherings, discipleship programs, and outreach initiatives.

As the year comes to a close, regional Adventist leaders say Finding Hope will serve as a final collective appeal, inviting viewers to begin or renew their walk with Jesus. Division leaders say they are praying that many will be led to deeper faith and, for some, to decisions for baptism.

A message rooted in Scripture

The series invites viewers to explore life’s deepest questions through the teachings of the Bible. Moorooven will present themes centered on meaning, purpose, and hope, emphasizing that lasting answers are found in Scripture rather than human wisdom. Each presentation is designed to point viewers to Jesus Christ as the ultimate source of hope.

HOPE Centers extend the series to remote areas

Beyond the nightly livestream, SSD leaders have prepared additional channels to reach communities with limited or unreliable internet access. In such areas, local churches will open HOPE Centers, designated viewing hubs where people can gather to watch the presentations together.

To support this effort, technical teams will download the nightly messages from regional media units and distribute them in local languages. This allows churches to play the programs without depending on a live connection.

These HOPE Centers function as community watch groups across the division, providing shared spiritual experiences for families, young people, and interested neighbors.

SSD leaders highlight purpose and challenges

Arnel Gabin, SSD vice president responsible for evangelism, emphasized the significance of concluding Harvest 2025 with a unified series. He noted that coordinating this division-wide effort brought unique challenges, from multilingual preparation to ensuring cultural sensitivity across countries in the 10/40 Window.

“Uniting our fields for a single evangelistic thrust is not easy,” Gabin said. “But we believe this is God’s appointed time. People are searching for hope, and we pray that this culmination will draw many to Jesus.”

He shared that local congregations have been preparing prayer initiatives, small group activities, and online engagement to support the event and guide viewers in their spiritual journey.

“Many people carry questions they don’t know who to ask,” Gabin shared. “This series points them to the One who not only knows the answers but offers true hope.”

Innovation and technology strengthen the initiative

Michael Palar, SSD Hope Channel coordinator, described the extensive technical collaboration that went into the hybrid series. With broadcasts across television, social media, digital platforms, and church networks, his team has worked to ensure a consistent viewing experience across varied digital environments.

“We want every viewer to feel part of this journey, whether they are watching through Facebook, YouTube, television, or in a HOPE Center in a remote area,” Palar said. “Technology gives us the chance to reach homes and communities we could not reach before.”

He added that the use of downloadable content and localized playback empowers local churches to conduct watch parties, nurture Bible interests, and follow up with guests who respond to the messages.

A call to celebrate hope

The Finding Hope series, running from December 3 to 13, will be the closing chapter of SSD’s year of evangelism, division leaders say. As Moorooven prepares to open the series, leaders across the division invite viewers to join the livestream, share the message with family and friends, and pray earnestly for the movement of the Holy Spirit.
