“Finding Hope” Launches Division-wide Digital Evangelism Initiative

The Southern Asia-Pacific Division (SSD) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is preparing for its first simultaneous digital evangelism campaign, Net Harvest 2025: “Finding Hope,” set to air live from December 3 to 13, 2025.

The online endeavour will feature Pastor Hensley Moorooven, undersecretary of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, as the main speaker. Hope Channel studios across the division will participate through a synchronized broadcast, uniting the region’s diverse territories in a shared message of faith and salvation.

The main hub of the event will be the Life Hope Center in Silang, Cavite, where Bible interests and local participants will gather in person. At the same time, union-based remote stations throughout the SSD territory will connect virtually, creating a hybrid experience that bridges in-person fellowship with online engagement.

According to Pastor Roger Caderma, president of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division, the initiative embodies the vision of the global church to make digital evangelism a vital part of mission in this generation. “The world church recognizes the power of technology as a means to reach people where they are,” he said. “Through ‘Finding Hope,’ we are not only speaking into living rooms but into hearts searching for meaning, healing, and purpose in Jesus.”

“This is a milestone moment for our division,” said Pastor Michael Palar, SSD Hope Channel Coordinator. “For the first time, every Hope Channel studio across our region will work together to proclaim one message, one hope, and one Savior—Jesus Christ. We are harnessing every available digital platform so that no one will be left out of hearing the gospel.”

A Unified Digital Movement

Net Harvest 2025: “Finding Hope” forms part of the division’s yearlong Harvest 2025 campaign, a comprehensive evangelistic initiative uniting church departments, institutions, and members in mission. It also responds to the world church’s call for a stronger digital strategy for mission, emphasizing the use of media and technology as vital tools for reaching people beyond geographical boundaries.

Behind the scenes, the Communication Department and the Information Technology Department of SSD are working collaboratively to develop digital platforms that will enable local churches across the division to actively participate in the event. Through the official website, FindingHope.asia, local congregations, ministries, and individuals can register their churches and institutions to become Hope Centers—dynamic spaces where members can engage their communities, share testimonies, and become avenues of inspiration for others. Registered Hope Centers can also serve as watch party sites, where members are encouraged to invite their families, friends, and neighbors to gather and watch the nightly broadcasts together, fostering fellowship and collective faith experience within their local communities.

“This collaboration between our media and IT teams in SSD is a beautiful example of mission synergy,” Palar explained. “We’re not just producing a program; we’re building a digital ecosystem where every church, regardless of size or location, can become a center of hope.”

Technology for Mission

Palar emphasized that the coordinated effort represents a new era of evangelism for the SSD territory. “Digital evangelism is not a replacement for traditional outreach—it’s an expansion,” he said. “It allows us to connect our churches, pastors, and media teams in ways we’ve never done before, creating a network of faith that transcends distance.”

“‘Finding Hope’ reminds us that even in the noise of the digital world, the voice of God still speaks clearly,” said Pastor Arnel Gabin, Vice President for the Nurture Discipleship Retention - Integrated Evangelism Lifestyle (NDR-IEL) added. “Our mission remains the same—to share Christ’s love and lead people to experience hope that never fades.”

The ten-day broadcast will feature nightly messages, testimonies, and music segments designed to inspire both Adventist and non-Adventist audiences. Hope Channel’s unified network across countries—including the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia—will deliver simultaneous content, supported by local interpretation and contextualized follow-up initiatives.

SSD leaders affirm that “Finding Hope” represents more than a program—it’s a movement reflecting the mission refocus vision of the world church, encouraging every member to share the message of Jesus using every available means.
