This milestone marks a significant moment in the program’s mission to bring hope and inspiration to viewers in the Philippines and other parts of the world.

The milestone was announced during the Hope Channel Consultation Meeting in the Adventist Church in Davao and was attended by communication leaders, Hope Channel leaders, Panimbaya sa Kabuntagon World hosts, production staff, and supporters. The program, which has been a source of spiritual encouragement for many, continues to grow as a leading faith-based morning show, blending devotionals, testimonies, community stories, and uplifting discussions.

Launched as a local morning program, Panimbaya sa Kabuntagon World has evolved into a dynamic platform for evangelism and community engagement. With its interactive format, relevant discussions, and inspiring testimonies, the program has attracted a broad audience of Adventist members, seekers, and individuals looking for spiritual encouragement.

“This milestone is not just about numbers—it’s about changed lives, answered prayers, and the countless testimonies of faith strengthened through this ministry,” said Pastor Heshbon Buscato, Communication Director in the Southern Asia-Pacific region (SSD). “We thank the Lord for allowing Panimbaya sa Kabuntagon World to be a tool in sharing His message of hope, and we dedicate this achievement to our viewers and supporters who have journeyed with us,” he added.

Harnessing Social Media for Evangelism

With its engaging video content, interactive live discussions, and community-driven initiatives, Panimbaya sa Kabuntagon World has become a platform where people watch and participate in the mission of spreading hope.

Many followers have shared their appreciation for the program’s impact on their spiritual lives.

“I started watching Panimbaya sa Kabuntagon World during a difficult season in my life, and it gave me the encouragement I needed to keep going,” said a viewer based in Europe. “The testimonies and messages continue to remind me of God’s faithfulness.”

A Mission Moving Forward

As Panimbaya sa Kabuntagon World celebrates this milestone, its team remains committed to producing meaningful content that speaks to the hearts of its viewers. Plans are already underway to expand its reach through new digital platforms, interactive features, and collaborations with local churches to further strengthen its impact.

“We believe this is just the beginning,” added Pastor Johnster Calibod, Hope Channel South Philippines Studio Manager. “With God’s guidance, we will continue to use this platform to inspire, uplift, and lead more people to a more profound relationship with Jesus Christ.”

Pastor Bong Fiedacan, President of Hope Channel Philippines, expressed his deep appreciation and excitement, recognizing the vital role of Hope Channel South Philippines in achieving this momentous milestone.

“Praise be to God for His unwavering faithfulness! We rejoice and give all glory to Him as Panimbaya sa Kabuntagon World reaches the remarkable milestone of one million followers on Facebook. This achievement is a testament to the power of media ministry in transforming lives, strengthening faith, and bringing hope to countless hearts. It reflects how God continues to work through digital platforms to spread His love and truth,” Fiedacan said.

“As we celebrate this success, we also look ahead with renewed purpose. We pray that Panimbaya sa Kabuntagon World will continue to expand its reach, touch more lives, and serve as a beacon of light in an increasingly digital world. May this platform inspire more people to walk with Christ and experience the hope that only He can give. The journey doesn’t end here—the present is just the beginning of even greater things to come!” Fiedacan added.

The one-million-follower milestone is a powerful testament to the effectiveness of media ministry in today’s digital world.
