#BCStewardshipStories Digital Evangelism: Hope Channel “Hope is On the Air” The main presenter, Elder Mark Johnson, SDACC President, has a special message to share with all our members in the BC Conference. He opens his heart and expresses his passion for reaching more people for Jesus in a very creative way, which includes an opportunity for all of us to be involved in a very special mission. The goal is to make the Hope Channel available to our members in BC & Yukon. For that to happen, we need to write letters to our local cable companies that we already subscribe to or expressing our desire to subscribe and make the request that we would like them to make the Hope Channel available in the package that we have or want to subscribe to. Then, we can share Hope Channel’s blessings by inviting our family and friends over to watch it with us – select a special program. The third step will be to motivate them to sign up for it themselves and receive the Hope Channel blessings in their own homes. This could easily be our missionary project for this year. Simple and sweet! Hope Channel has been a blessing around the world. It is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Filipino language, and many others. A special note of thanks to Pastor Brad Thorp, a visionary servant of Lord who could foresee the blessings that a TV program could be for God’s people as well as a magnificent tool for evangelism. Also, a heart felt thank you to Stan Jensen, former BC Conference and SDACC Communication Director, who prayed boldly and for the Lord to open the doors and use him to speak and find grace in the eyes of the CRTC folks in Ottawa – God did it! We cannot forget Charles Aguilar, former Terrace Church pastor and now ADRA Canada Supporter Relations Director, was one of the first ones to “jump on board” and take advantage of this window of opportunity to share the good news of the free salvation in Christ through Hope Channel. The video shares more about the story behind the scenes, too. By God’s grace, thousands of people have given their hearts to Jesus though the means of the messages of Hope Channel. My (our) prayer is that this video will wake us up for a mission possible just before our eyes and get us all involved in a positive approach to evangelism.
