LIVES

Message from the President

Radishes or Cherries?When I was growing up my mother planted

a garden every spring. I loved looking for the radishes! About five to six weeks after planting, discovering the crisp red and white balls of spice was an unforgettable highlight for a hungry boy. And every spring I also helped my dad plant fruit trees. My favorite was the cherry trees. I love sweet cherries!

Radishes and cherries may be similar in size, but there is one very big difference: you can harvest radishes in five to six weeks; however, you need five to six years before you can get a reasonable harvest from a cherry tree!

Many times when watching God open doors for Hope Channel, I think of the comparison of radishes and cherries.

Hope Channel is a long-term, strategic “cherry planting” that produces an increasing abundant harvest! Typically it takes two to three years before the broadcasts in a region begin to yield a harvest. But the longer the broadcasts continue the greater the harvest—just like a cherry orchard! Here’s what one viewer says:

I came across you while going through Christian channels. I am blessed to have found what I have been seeking for. My heart is so joyful it’s hard to put in words how thankful I am to have discovered Hope Channel.—Kathy

It takes time for the “seed” of the Word of God that we share every day on Hope Channel to bear fruit in the hearts of our viewers. We get many letters from viewers like Kathy that speak of how lives are being changed (see viewer comments on the next page).

There is another long-term harvest of which we see evidence. Your support and prayers have led to the growth in new Hope Channels. We started as one channel in 2003; today there are more than thirty channels that

broadcast full time in various languages around the world. The new channels in Malawi, Indonesia, and the Philippines featured on page 13 are examples of “cherry planting. This is not quick, short-term work! It has taken years of hard work, prayer, sacrifice, and the perseverance of God’s people to see these channels develop and grow.

We are so grateful for your prayer and practical support! I want to assure you that your investment in Hope Channel is not growing short-term “radishes.” Your investment is growing “cherries”—long-term, deep-rooted, strongly-established new Hope Channels that advance God’s work. As you think and pray about the blessings of God received this year, I encourage you to expand your investment in the long-term work of Hope Channel.

God is the great celestial “farmer” who has made a long-term investment in you. He has planted His seed in your heart and He will not give up on you! You may not see much growth in your life, but if you water the spiritual seed in your heart with prayer; fertilize it with God’s Word; and allow Him to “prune” you with the trials of life, God will see to it that you are ready for the great harvest of the Second Coming! Philippians 1:6 says, “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”

Thank you for your prayers and support for the long-term ministry of Hope Channel!

Your friend,

Brad Thorp

I started watching your program just to practice my English but the experience has been so much more! God has shown me through you that He lives, that His Word is a light in my life.

—Helaine

I really enjoy the Bible study programs on Hope Channel. While I’ve always been a godly person and was taught well by the church to which I belong, I’ve never felt as close to God as I do now; nor have I understood the Bible more.

—Anonymous

I am from a country where Christianity is restricted and sometimes media and emails are intercepted. So I thank God that today I am able to send you a thank you note to say that we always enjoy watching Hope Channel streamed live on our computer. Please continue praying for people like us.

—Anonymous

I watch and study with ya’ll daily after work. In fact, if it wasn’t for Hope Channel, TV wouldn’t be worth watching! Here is my gift of $10. It’s all I have to contribute at this time. I hope and pray that you accept it and add it to His ministry and cause.

—Timothy

I am a 73-year-old widow. I stay home most of the time and watch TV for company. I especially like Hope Channel and several programs you present. I am sending a donation of “a widow’s mite.” May God bless and increase this small amount . Keep broadcasting your good programs

—Geneva

My marriage was falling apart. In desperation, I googled for help to be a better husband and friend to my wife. And I found Hope Channel. That was three years ago. We are happy now and I am a better person.

—Jorge

camporee 2014

A gathering that occurs every five years in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the International Pathfinder* Camporee this year was attended by

more than 45,000 from all over the world. Australians travelled some 9,000 miles and Kenyans 7,000! But, regardless of the miles traveled by each club, the level of excitement and blessings was an equal high for all.

Two teams from Hope Channel were also at the camporee —one produced the daily, live broadcast of the event and the other manned a booth to raise awareness of the impact of television ministry around the world.

Drama, Music, and a Powerful Message At the end of every day filled with activities, games, and classes, the youth gathered for worship and praise. Under the theme “Forever Faithful,” boys and girls learned lessons from the life of Daniel. The main feature every evening was a dramatic presentation of the book of Daniel with original music and lyrics, handmade costumes and professional actors. Next, daily sermons by pastor Sam Leonor con-nected Daniel to the practical issues faced by young people today. In response to the messages and to God’s calling, many were baptized every day. All this was captured by the Hope Channel team in the daily broadcast. And thousands of people across the world who could not be there watched the event as it was streamed live.

The Tag Hunting ExperienceWhile the production team was busy interviewing people and chasing down stories for the evening broadcast on Hope Church Channel, the marketing team at the Hope Channel exhibit debuted the game Tag Hunter, a scavenger hunt that combines fun activities with Hope

Channel’s mission to change lives around the world with God’s good news. The game was so popular that triple lines snaked out of the exhibit area for about an eighth of a mile.

Starting with a Tag Hunter app or logbook, “hunters” began a quest for seven silicone dog tags that represent the seven continents where Hope Channel is changing lives with the message of God’s love and grace. The game challenged hunters to unravel clues and participate in events, honors classes, and activities around the campgrounds—all of which led to the acquisition of tags. Hunters who found all seven tags, not only got to keep their limited-edition collection, but were also entered to win one of two iPad minis.

When the camporee was over and clubs headed home in cars and buses and planes, one could still see signs of tag hunters. In rest stops and airport lounges Pathfinders were spotted wearing colorful tags. Like everything else at the camporee, the experience and memories of tag hunting will not only be reminiscent of fun times with friends but also an affirmation of being part of a church focused on sharing God’s good news.

Years from now, when these Pathfinders are adults, when they hear of the television ministry of Hope Channel, surely they will remember a warm week in Oshkosh when they scrambled to “tag” each continent with God’s Word.

*A Seventh-day Adventist club similar to the Scouts.

Bryan Davis, PMC Evergreens ClubThe club associated with the Pioneer Memorial Church in Berrien Springs, Michigan, is large with 79 children. Eight-year-old Bryan plans on owning a sheep farm when he grows up. But for now, he’s going to work on finding ways to share his iPad mini with his older brother. With Bryan are his mom Marlyce, and his sister who is also named Marlyce.

Hector Leyva Rodriguez, Doulos Mexico Club There are 125 young people in Hector’s club and he was one of the fortunate 46 who attended the Camporee. The iPad mini was an extra special win for him because he loves Apple products and wants to be a systems engineer one day. Next to Hector is Hiram Ruiz, youth pastor at Montemorelos University.

It was a week before Father’s Day and Jesse was pacing the hallway of the emergency room.

He ran every possible scenario in his mind, and none of them gave him any consolation. This was his father on the other side of the heavy doors, this was the man who had given him so much. If only there were something Jesse could give him to show his father Thomas how much he loved him, cared for him.

So Jesse prayed. For the past few years, he and his fam-ily had become a praying family. They had stumbled upon Hope Channel and had started watching Cross Connection together as a family.

While Jesse fervently prayed, he had a crazy thought—and hurriedly sent off this email to the Cross Connection team.

A practical young man, Jesse didn’t expect a quick response to his email. But he felt better about having tried to do something special for Thomas. The next day the family was

told that the stroke was not as serious as they initially had thought and that Thomas could go home. Jesse, his mother Anne, and his brother Isaiah were grateful for God’s angels watching over Thomas. Happy and relieved, they took him home.

Jesse’s happiness was doubled that day, though, when he received an email from Cross Connection host Oleg who, as soon as he got the email, had already started making plans to visit Thomas the following weekend! Over the next few days, Jesse and Oleg worked on details of how to make the visit a surprise for Thomas.

On Saturday, the day before Father’s Day, Oleg and his wife Julia drove three and a half hours to surprise Thomas who, of course, had no clue that his favorite television personality was going to be walking into his living room any minute.

Jesse was waiting for Oleg and Julia on the front porch. He led Oleg into the house where Thomas, Anne, and Isaiah were watching a soccer game on television. Following closely behind was Julia trying to unobtrusively catch the meeting on video using her phone.

“Thomas immediately recognized me,” says Oleg, “It was such a pleasure to see so much joy in his eyes. It felt like we had known each other forever.”

For the next three hours Oleg and Julia listened to fam-ily stories over coffee and Anne’s freshly-baked brownies. Thomas has been watching Hope Channel for about five years through DirecTV. There are many religious options on DirecTV, but the family only watches two channels. “We watch Hope Channel because Hope Channel people know their Bible and know what they talk about,” said Thomas. “And we also watch EWTN because we are Catholic.”

While they were brought up Catholic, Thomas and Anne stopped attending any kind of church a long time ago. “Cross Connection is our church,” says Anne. “Every Tues-day night at nine the family gathers around the television to watch another episode of Cross Connection.”

This message is for Oleg, but I doubt he’ll read it because he’s probably too busy. My dad and I watch your show religiously, no pun intended. We are both huge fans. Recently things have been pretty rough on him unfor-tunately. He’s been battling stroke problems for a couple years now. If there’s one thing I know that would put a smile on his face it would be seeing you in person! However, money is pretty tight in our household so there’s no way he’d be able to come anywhere you’d ever be to see you. So I’m asking you if you’d be interested in performing a miracle and reaching out to my father in person by coming to my small town in Pennsylvania to spend some precious time with him and pray with him.

He’d be the jolliest old man in the world.

Your friend regardless,

Jesse

Just as one usually knows the people one worships with at church—those who always sit behind you and the pastor who greets you at the door—Thomas knows everyone on Cross Connection. “It was exciting to hear Thomas send his greetings to regular guests on the show. He even recognized Julia who has only been on the show a few times,” says Oleg remembering how surprised he was at the knowledge Thomas has of the show.

Thomas knew details of his favorite episodes that even Oleg had forgotten about, and asked about when the Gospel of Luke would be studied. This was a man whose intense appe-tite for God’s Word has been satiated by Hope Channel.

Oleg, who had made the journey primarily to make a sick man happy, was unprepared to see just how much God’s hand is at work in Hope Channel’s everyday ministry. “It was a humbling experience to see how God can use televi-sion to touch people’s hearts. Thomas, Anne, Jesse, and Isaiah are a big part of the Cross Connection community that seeks to know Jesus better through the study of the Gospel,” comments Oleg on seeing the link between this family in Pennsylvania and the mission of Cross Connection. “For three years the Cross Connection team has been trying to help people fall in love with Jesus and dig deeper into the greatest story ever told, the story of Jesus. We studied the Gospels of Matthew, John, and Mark together with our viewers. In every episode we discovered how the story of Jesus never stops to surprise those whose seek Him. Every chapter of the Gospels presents hidden treasures of grace and hope.”

And here, in this home, was proof of a man who met Jesus all over again through the Word of God and Cross Connection.

Oleg and Julia drove back to their home that Saturday totally in awe of being used in such a personal way by God. The email from Anne the next day only confirmed their thoughts and experience on that unforgettable road trip to Pennsylvania.

Just wanted to say a special thank you to you and your lovely wife, Julia, for spend-ing the day with us yesterday. What a won-derful surprise and blessing it was for my husband for Father’s Day! You truly made the holiday for him and I do consider it a blessing because, as you know, he’s in poor health and your visit really lifted his spirits! I think it’s even more of a bless-ing that my son contacted you...that child will never cease to surprise me!! He thought you were a “cool dude” and he’s still beam-ing today!

We are all excited that you want to share this story and look forward to doing what we can to help you spread the Word of Jesus. You are an inspiration and truly an example of what I believe Jesus’ message is all about. The fact that you took time from your life to spend a few hours with my family, complete strangers, just to uplift us and ease our burden for awhile is utterly amaz-ing. I thank you again from the bottom of my heart and hope we remain in touch. May God watch over you and bless you always.... I am crying tears of joy and thankfulness right now because of you!!

Anne

MISSIONS TODAY

Here’s what viewers are saying about the Hope Channel series, GOD?

NATURAL LIFESTYLE COOKING

Change in DirecTV

Fix yourself a snack (find a recipe at gohealthy.hopetv.org) and watch two new shows this season.

While Hope Channel was part of DirecTV’s standard definition system it was available to approximately nine mil-lion viewers. Now being part of DirecTV’s high definition package, the potential viewers of Hope Channel has

increased to more than fifteen million.

Please note that Hope Channel does not receive any portion of the increase in monthly fees you may experience from this switch. We regret the inconvenience this change has caused viewers with the standard definition package.

For a limited time, “Why do Children Suffer?”, one episode from this 12-part series is being offered for FREE. You can download it here: www.hopetv.org/god/

I was simply overwhelmed by this series. —Betty

A great to show to share with my friends. —Peter

Direct, easy to understand, and interesting to anyone, regardless of one’s faith or denomination. —Mac

MALAWI

INDONESIA

PHILIPPINES

July 1 was a very exciting day for Hope Channel Malawi when the studio renovations were finally

completed. Set walls, furniture, lighting, and cameras were ready to begin production in Chichewa, the re-gional language. “We call this a miracle! Just months ago we had nothing. To now have a functional studio and tape programs is incredible,” says Charles Than-galimodz, director of Hope Channel Malawi. Hope Channel Malawi will soon be broadcast nationwide on the GoTV digital platform alongside Malawi Broadcast-ing Corporation (MBC).

The renovation led by the corporate offices of Hope Channel and Kandus Thorp, Vice President, Interna-tional Development, transformed a conference room, offices, and guest bedrooms into a studio and various production rooms. The renovated area also includes a relaxing green room for guests and visitors.

The project was made possible with the help of ev-eryone at Hope Channel Malawi and many volunteers like “Jack” Aurel Cojocaiu, a long-time Hope Channel volunteer who travelled from Australia to build new set walls, install new countertops, paint, and lay car-pet. Noel Sibanda and technician Walter Ferriera from SIDmedia in Cape Town along with Gabriel Begle from Hope Channel corporate helped set up production equipment and train the local team.

The new Malawi studio

August 7 marked the inaugural opening of Hope ChannelIndonesia. Satellite space on Telkom, covering all of

Indonesia and much of Southeast Asia, has been purchased for full-time broadcast in Bahasa, the primary dialect. Offering God’s good news to the largest Muslim country in the world, this newest channel becomes the 33rd channel in Hope Channel’s global network!

In its first year of satellite broadcast, Hope Channel Philippines is on 33 cable stations throughout the country. Four high-powered stations in large cities now make God’s love available to millions. In another amazing devel-

opment, the Korean Broadcasting Corporation is partnering with Hope Channel Philippines to provide free broad-cast and digital equipment.
