Everything in Papua New Guinea is an experience world. We began with one channel in 2003. By 2010 we had of the senses—the wonderful people, lively churches, food, grown to 13 channels. Today there are 35 plus six more in birds, nature, and culture were exceptional. But one of the development. Yet, we have just begun. We cannot rest until things that caught my attention was the trees. everyone everywhere receives God’s good news for a better life today and for eternity. There are about two thousand species of trees in Papua New Guinea—each distinct in shape and size. I was amazed at Around the world Hope Channel is rapidly growing as their size and the area they covered. It reminded me of what viewers like you share the blessings they’ve gained from our Joyce Kilmer says about trees: programs.

6 QUARTER 2 • 2015 | AN INSPIRATIONAL NEWS MAGAZINE FROM HOPE CHANNEL | HOPELINK Heavenly Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thank you Father for the light You’ve shone through this television station. There needs to be more channels like Hope Channel to reach out to the world and touch the lives of millions, especially the lost souls who are desperately seeking liberation from the shackles of the devil. This world is in turmoil. The entertainment industry and media are promoting violence, drug use, sexual immorality, racism, misogyny, the destruction of the family, etc. I know this world, in its current state, is displeasing to Your character.
I myself have fallen victim to the demons of this world. I grew up in a Christian family but turned away from You and lived a worldly life. Afer living in the flesh for many years I realized that I was still empty in my soul. Lord, You’ve opened my eyes to the truth and one of the ways was through Hope Channel. Lord, forgive me for turning away from You and I ask You . . . no, I know that You’ve accepted me as your child. Even better, I’ve always been Your child; I was too blinded by the flesh to see that. Every time I cried out to You, in fact, You heard my cry. You listened to my heart and You’ve changed me, Lord.
I thank You infinitely. I owe You my life. This body will now be Your vessel to do Your will and touch others who are looking for You. I will be Your light to shine on others who are desperately seeking a way out, no matter what the situation. I will let them know that the God of loving kindness and mercy is waiting at their doorstep . . . just waiting for them to let Him in.
Lord, change this world. Flow through every one of the seven to eight billion hearts so we can live in unity, true peace, and love. Bring virtue in broken homes. Teach us the true meaning of A peace . . . the peace that comes from love. I ask of You today to change our culture into a righteous one.
Viewer’s And lastly, bless my fellow brothers and sisters at Hope Channel to continue the good fight. You said from the beginning that this world Prayer is our dominion and we should Editor’s Note: Hope Channel’s Viewer Services not take it for granted. It is our Department ofen shares with the staf letters we responsibility as Your children receive. When this prayer from a viewer was read to create a world of peace, aloud, the room was filled with an overwhelming love, and prosperity. sense of the Holy Spirit at work and gratitude for being a part of Hope Channel’s ministry. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

A Charitable Gif Annuity to help you and your children … and Hope Channel
Jim was a hard working farmer and a careful saver. But for many years he watched the rate of return on his bank CDs plummet. He needed a better return to provide an income for his four children afer his demise.
One day he saw me on Hope Channel talking about the benefits of a Charitable Gif Annuity (CGA). Jim called me because the CGA would do exactly what he wanted.
A CGA is a contract in which you exchange a gif of cash or securities for a generous, fixed income each year of your life (or the lives of two people). A CGA is an extraordinary way to support Hope Channel’s successful global ministry, while increasing your income and slicing your tax bill—all in one transaction.
I helped Jim set up five CGAs. Based on his age at the time, his CGA paid him 8.8 percent. The other four paid an average of 5.7 percent—first to Jim, then to his children—a much better income than the matured CD he used to fund the annuities. He was also pleased that a generous portion of his pay out was income tax free.
Jim, and ultimately his children, received fixed payments from the CGAs that were significantly more than he was receiving from his bank CD. Jim was pleased that the CGAs provided more income for himself, an income for his children … and a generous gif for Hope Channel.
