Hope Channel International is thrilled to announce the groundbreaking of a new studio at the Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) campus in Silang, Cavite. This new facility marks the ninth studio for Hope Channel Philippines since its inception in 2011, as part of Hope Channel's global mission to reach 1 billion people with the message of gospel by 2030.

Leaders from all four Philippine Unions, including union presidents and secretaries, attended the ceremony on November 5, 2024, alongside Southern-Asia Pacific Division (SSD) representatives.

Michael Palar, Hope Channel coordinator for SSD, inspired attendees with his message, saying, “Attempt great things for God, and expect great things from Him." He emphasized Hope Channel’s role in broadcasting the gospel to every island in the Philippines.

Heshbon Buscato, Communication director of SSD, remarked, “This is God’s blessing. God allows people to make the plans, but it is God who blesses and brings them to fruition.”

The new studio will warmly welcome visitors with an archive display in the lobby, offering a glimpse into God’s guidance and blessings on Hope Channel Philippines. The facility will include a reception area, makeup room, and pantry, along with a spacious main studio featuring high ceilings for flexible lighting setups and versatile backdrops, accommodating three large-scale productions. Additionally, two mini studios will provide dedicated spaces for smaller productions. Further, the entire facility was designed with accessibility in mind, inviting everyone – including individuals with disabilities – to engage and serve in media ministry.

“This new studio stands as a testament to the faith and dedication of the people in the Philippines,” said Vyacheslav Demyan, president of Hope Channel International. “It’s their love for God and their desire to share His message of eternal hope that inspired the building of this new studio. We are deeply grateful to our viewers and the leaders of the South Asia-Pacific Division and the Philippine Unions for their passion for Hope Channel’s global mission.”

As Hope Channel’s global network continues to expand, we ask for your prayers over this new studio, the dedicated team at Hope Channel Philippines, and the life-changing work taking place across all our studios. Together, with the support of our global family, we are spreading the message of eternal hope to reach every heart.
