Hope Chanel International

Did you know that in the Middle East and North Africa region, there are only 6,614 Seventh-day Adventists among a population of 612 million? Even if every church member reached one person every day, it would take 254 years to share the gospel with everyone. The need is overwhelming, but through media, Hope Channel is reaching the unreached today.

In Ethiopia, a 14-year-old girl had been separated from her family because of the active war. Alone and uncertain of the future, she found comfort in Hope Channel. When fear crept in, she turned to programs that reminded her of God’s presence. Even though war kept her from her family, nothing could separate her from Christ’s love.

Hope Channel is the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s global media ministry, broadcasting in more than 100 languages. In the 10/40 Window – covering regions like the Middle East, Ethiopia, and India, where billions have little or no access to the gospel – Hope Channel is sharing Jesus where in-person evangelism is impossible. Through television, digital platforms, and online Bible study programs, people are discovering the hope found in Christ.

Revelation 14:6 tells us that the gospel will go to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. Through media, Hope Channel is making that a reality. Because of your generosity today, more people will have the opportunity to experience the love of Christ – no matter where they live. Thank you for supporting this mission.
