More than 150 locally produced television programs were recorded in Papua New Guinea (PNG) as part of a three-week initiative designed to equip Adventist communicators and establish an ongoing pipeline of Hope Channel content.
The Mini Hope Project, held June 7-26, 2026, at Pacific Adventist University (PAU), is expected to become a catalyst for ongoing local content production, with Hope Channel PNG aiming to produce 13 new episodes each week, building towards a library of over 400 programs.
More than 30 people participated in the initiative as technical crew, support staff, and project leaders, with the project recording a total of 153 talk shows, singing performances, sermons, and filler content. Among those participating were the communication and media directors from five Adventist missions—Bougainville, Northern and Milne Bay, Eastern Highlands Simbu, Sepik, and New Britain New Ireland.
During the first week, the team was involved in setting up the studio and undertaking pre-recording training. The second and third weeks focused on producing local content.
The Korobosea Seventh-day Adventist Church communications team participated on June 21 in a day of recording singing groups from Port Moresby. Missionary Buddies, a self-funded audio-visual ministry group, also supported the project by providing a camera and technical crew throughout the three weeks.
The project was made possible through support from PAU, which shared its new online learning recording studio. As part of the initiative, the studio was equipped with recording cameras, studio lighting, sound equipment, and soundproofing.
Hope Channel PNG has now reached an agreement with PAU to continue producing local television content for the government’s National Broadcasting Commission digital platform, Channel 7.
