We all know the power of TV - why not harness this power for the Gospel? We have many testimonies of people walking into our churches asking to be baptised, after watching Hope Channel!

These excellent leaflets invite DSTV viewers to tune into Hope Channel and give instructions on how to do it on the back. The leaflets are pocket-sized and very easy to hand out. Members give them to friends & colleagues at the office. Hand them out or leave them anywhere where people spend time - doctors' waiting rooms, store checkouts, bus stops and numerous other places.

Kol 1:9-11 (Nuwe Vertaling) “...Ons vra God dat Hy deur al die wysheid en insig wat die Gees gee, julle Sy wil duidelik sal laat ken, sodat julle tot eer van die Here sal lewe deur net te doen wat Hy verlang. Mag julle vrugte dra deur goeie werke en toeneem in die kennis van God. Mag God deur Sy wonderbare krag julle alle sterkte gee om in alle omstandighede geduldig te volhard.”

Col 1:9-11 (KJV) “...desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might according to his glorius power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.”
