Reverb Worship Inspires Listeners to Wait on God’s Timing in New Single, “Hintay”

Singer-songwriter Jezliah Almasco offers a heartfelt anthem of hope and patience with the release of her newest single under Reverb Worship PH, “Hintay”—now available on all major digital streaming platforms worldwide.

Tender and sincere, “Hintay” is a Christian contemporary ballad that speaks to those waiting on God’s timing—especially in matters of love, relationships, and marriage. Sung from the perspective of a woman praying for her future husband, the track gently reminds listeners that waiting on the Lord is never in vain.

“Waiting means trusting God and believing that He’s preparing something beautiful for us,” Jezliah shared. “I hope Hintay reminds people that they are not being left behind, and that there’s so much hope and beauty in trusting God’s perfect timing.”

The track features Jezliah’s warm, faith-filled vocals set to a soft pop-ballad arrangement reminiscent of Brooke Fraser and Moira. Brought to life through the musical arrangement of Jezliah and Cid Palma, the single was mixed and mastered by Palma and co-produced with Ivy Catucod of Reverb Worship.

Inspired by her father, a former Papuri! singer-songwriter, the Palawan native began her musical journey during the pandemic, and found her calling in creating songs that point people to God. Her music offers comfort and purpose to those navigating quiet, in-between seasons.

Echoing that message, Hintay is more than just a love song—it’s a gentle encouragement for anyone holding on to a promise: waiting isn’t a delay. It’s preparation for something deeply beautiful in God’s perfect time.

“It makes me happy that Hintay, my very first original song, is getting a new life and a better version that can touch more people. I’m grateful to Reverb Worship for believing in my music and helping share it with others,” Jezliah said.

Stream Hintay today on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other major platforms. Follow @ReverbWorshipPH on social media for more inspiring, faith-based music.

Asian Center for Missions Celebrates 30 Years of Reaching the Nations 

The Asian Center for Missions (ACM), CBN Asia’s missionary training arm, marked three unhindered decades of sharing the gospel to the nations, through a special gathering of missionaries, partners, and friends, at Dusit Thani, Makati, on July 5. 

The event celebrated stories of faith in action: 2,795 missionaries trained, 1,354 deployed to the world’s most unreached region, and 74 nations touched by the hope of the gospel. Each number represents a life that said “yes” to the calling, a soul that now knows Jesus, and a generation being transformed. 

Missionaries serving in various counties came dressed in traditional attire, mostly of the countries where they minister — a colorful testament to the diversity of cultures and people groups reached by ACM-trained missionaries over the years.

Hosted by The 700 Club Asia’s Kata Inocencio and Alex Tinsay, the celebration commenced with a meaningful parade of flags, honoring the countries reached by ACM-trained missionaries. Voices rose together in a moving time of praise and worship, celebrating God’s faithfulness to the ministry.

Bishop Leo Alconga, serving on the ACM Board of Trustees, opened with a heartfelt prayer, expressing gratitude to the Lord for the missionaries’ dedication and for how He has worked through ACM over the years.

Peter Kairuz, ACM Chairman of the Board and President and CEO of CBN Asia, then gave his warm welcome to the guests, and shared an inspiring message which reminded everyone of the true measure of ACM’s impact over the years.

“These past 30 years are not just about numbers or nations. They’re about souls who know Jesus as Lord and Savior because someone chose to go, someone prayed, someone gave, and someone persevered,” he said.

ACM Co-Founder and 1st International Vice President, Dr. Miguel Alvarez, encouraged the missionaries and partners, “God will enable you. The Holy Spirit will be with you as you go. He who is wise wins souls. The world is waiting for you.”

A moving segment of testimonies from ACM-trained missionaries highlighted the real impact of the ministry — stories of transformed lives and communities, and the perseverance of ordinary people responding to an extraordinary call.

Danny Bayasen, ACM Philippine Director, delivered an inspiring report on what God has done through ACM in the past 30 years and shared a bold vision for 2030. 

“We cannot do it alone, but together we can do more things with the Lord,” he said.

In a moving display of global impact, missionaries greeted everyone in their mission field’s native language and proclaimed the name of Jesus. The crowd then joined in a united prayer for the nations.

A powerful message from Gordon Robertson, ACM Founder and CEO of The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), called on the people to continue to answer God’s call to “Ekballo” — a Greek word which means “to drive or send out.” 

“The best way is for you to be filled with God’s love that when you hear that there’s an unengaged people group, you are going to say in your innermost being, ‘I can’t stay here. I have to go and preach the gospel!’

Long-time ACM partner and Board of Trustee Carol Roa also shared why she said “yes” to partnering with ACM and encouraged others to invest in missions. 

“Jesus is the owner. He has not transferred the ownership of what He has given us. Everything belongs to God — we are just stewards.” 

The gathering concluded with a prayer led by ACM Board of Trustee Pastor Paul Ignacio, sealing the time with thanksgiving and dedication for the years ahead.

In the afternoon, Paul and Ashley Lackie ministered personally to the missionaries, declaring words of encouragement and prophecies to strengthen and refresh those on the frontlines.

For 30 years, the Asian Center for Missions has faithfully carried out its mandate: to train, send, and care for missionaries who serve among the world’s least-reached people groups. To learn more or to partner with ACM, visit https://acmnet.org/. 

Missionary Couple Celebrates Over 25 Years of Faithful Service in Cambodia with Asian Center for Missions

With hearts full of gratitude and a deep sense of mission, Ernie and Amera Gardose joined fellow missionaries, partners, and friends at the Asian Center for Missions’ (ACM) 30ᵗʰ Anniversary celebration held at Word for the World, Makati, on July 4. The meaningful gathering was led by ACM Founder and CBN CEO Gordon Robertson, and CBN Asia President and CEO Peter Kairuz.

The milestone, aptly themed Missions Fiesta, marked not only three decades of ACM’s global impact but also the couple’s more than 25 years of faithful service in Cambodia—made possible through God’s call and ACM’s training and unwavering support.

Amera recalls her journey began while she was praying for various people groups around the world.

“At that time, I was interceding for India when I received a clear call to become a missionary,” she shared.

For Ernie, the calling came through the testimony of another missionary who visited their church.

“His story had a deep impact on me. That was when God began speaking to my heart, reminding me, ‘You can be a missionary too.’ From that day on, He never stopped reminding me of that calling.”

Since then, Ernie and Amera have made Cambodia their mission field, committing their lives to serving the local and international communities. Amera teaches at an international missionary school that not only disciples children of missionaries but also includes local Cambodians.

“It’s a privilege to share the gospel and disciple young minds. Some of whom have grown up and now serve in the same ministry,” she said with joy.

Ernie serves alongside Amera in children’s ministry at the International Christian Assembly Church, while also ministering in two local village churches.

“I see the joy in training members who now lead Bible studies and prayer meetings. Like Joshua rising after Moses, they are now leading with hearts on fire. Not because of us, but because of God’s work in them.”

Reflecting on their mission journey, both Ernie and Amera credit ACM for equipping them with the foundation they needed.

“The six-month intensive training we received from ACM prepared us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Without that, we wouldn’t have lasted more than 25 years in the field,” Amera shared.

Ernie added, “Before ACM, we were afraid to move forward. We felt alone. But ACM gave us a platform—training, encouragement, and prayers that sustained us. Knowing we had a community behind us gave us the confidence to obey God’s call.”

As they celebrated this special anniversary, their message to aspiring missionaries was clear and heartfelt.

“If God is calling you, take that leap of faith,” Amera encouraged. “The Lord who calls is able and faithful. I’ve tasted His goodness, and I can say: the fear is nothing compared to the joy of obeying Him.”

Ernie echoed, “Keep saying yes to God. You’ll be amazed how He uses your life to bring others into His presence. It’s always a blessing to respond to His call.”

Their story stood as a living testimony of God’s faithfulness and of the countless lives changed when ordinary people say yes to an extraordinary God.

Asian Center for Missions Marks 30 Years of Unhindered Ministry with Meaningful Missions Fiesta

The Asian Center for Missions (ACM) joyfully marked its 30th anniversary on July 4 with a special Missions Fiesta, uniting missionaries, partners, and friends to celebrate three fruitful decades of reaching people for Jesus.

The event serves as thanksgiving and reminder of the immense value of their calling and the faith that sustains them on the field.

The Missions Fiesta opened with Reverb Worship PH leading a powerful time of praise that lifted Jesus in the place and brought hearts together in worship—with artists James Reyes, Joselle Feliciano, Nolo Lopez, Rhea Rodriguez, and Veejay dela Calzada.

In his compelling message, ACM Philippine Director Danny Bayasen challenged the attendees to embrace Caleb’s timeless declaration: ‘Go. Possess. Overcome.’ — which also became the event’s battle cry.

He encouraged missionaries and partners alike to boldly claim and declare the nations for Christ, believing that people everywhere are longing to truly know the God who saves.

“Ask God for your mountain,” he challenged everyone.

Gordon Robertson, CEO of CBN and Founder of ACM, stirred hearts with a powerful reminder of what it means to live out faith every day.

“When you show up, the Kingdom shows up. When you show up, Jesus shows up. When Jesus shows up, miracles show up,” he declared.

Many experienced this firsthand as Robertson, together with Paul and Ashley Lackie and other missionaries, prayed for healing over those battling sickness.

In the afternoon, ACM extended its care for its frontliners through Missionary Care — offering free medical and dental check-ups, eye exams, ECG, ultrasound, haircuts, massages, fun games, and local comfort food that missionaries often miss while serving across borders.

More than just practical services, this time of care served as a tangible reminder that the community stands with those who stand on the frontlines.

For many missionaries, these simple yet thoughtful gestures not only refresh their bodies but also uplift their spirits, reminding them that they are not alone in the calling God has placed on their lives. It’s a beautiful way to renew their strength so they can continue carrying the message of hope to the nations.

As ACM marks this milestone, it continues to champion and cheer on missionaries who GO, POSSESS, and OVERCOME for God’s glory. Truly, the past 30 years are a testament to God’s faithfulness — and to the countless lives changed because brave men and women chose to say “yes” to His call.

If you want to take part in God’s mission, you can partner with the Asian Center for Missions today. Together, let’s send and care for more missionaries who will share the hope of Jesus to more people and nations. To learn more about ACM, visit www.acmnet.org.

CBN Asia Brings Together Israel Supporters at “Shalom Israel”

With love and care for Israel—this is how CBN Asia spearheaded Shalom Israel, a gathering of supporters on the rainy morning of July 2 at the famous heritage restaurant in Intramuros, Barbara’s.

Israel supporters unite to declare solidarity to God’s nation—headed by The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) CEO and CBN Asia Founder, Gordon Robertson and his wife Katharyn, Israel Ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss, CBN Asia President and CEO Peter Kairuz, and Executive Vice President and COO John Tan. Faithful partners of CBN Asia and individuals and organizations who support Israel also graced the event.

While conflicts are raging and families in Israel face uncertainty, the ministry created a space where people can stand and show support for God’s chosen nation. In his inspiring message to the audience, Robertson looked back on how the calling to stand with Israel was first embraced by his father, CBN Founder Pat Robertson.

“In 1974, my father went to Israel and that’s when it started—we will forever stand with Israel. A pledge was made. No matter how unpopular it was and divided, either world opinion, American or public opinion, we will stand with Israel,” Robertson declared.

The gathering opened with the national anthem and blowing of the shofar, to mark the start of a blessed fellowship, followed by the anointed praise and worship led by Elohim Lord of Hope International Ministries. Heritage restaurant owner, Barbara Gordon Delos Reyes opened the gathering with a beautiful prayer.

The 700 Club Asia hosts Kata Inocencio and Alex Tinsay warmly energized the audience as they stepped in as the masters of ceremonies. Meanwhile, the Israel Ambassador expressed his gratitude for the prayers and support of the Filipino people, and friends from CBN Asia—highlighting Operation Blessing’s humanitarian efforts.

“The work of Operation Blessing in Israel, in supporting the poor who lost their homes, in supporting people who are challenged psychologically, emotionally, in bringing food assistance to those in need—this is something that we are very much appreciative. It’s a very potent gesture to make sure that the foundations of Israel, which are the people, are solid. And for this again, thank you very much,” Ambassador Fluss said.

He also cited the value of a support system during challenging times like this, “Israel is strong, and with friends like you around the world, Israel will not only survive—Israel will thrive.”

The gathering was not only filled with meaningful messages, but also heartfelt performances. Rhoze Rivera and John Bornilla graced the stage with a beautiful dance number while Pastor Ferdie Lazarte sang a Jewish song titled, Hinei Ma Tov (Behold How Good).

Furthermore, Veronica Gordon-Lorenzana shared her powerful testimony to uplift the audience, “In March 1980, God called me, and Jesus Christ has been my Lord and Savior. He called me as He calls all who are born again to be a watchmen and watchwoman.”

CBN Asia Founder Gordon Robertson Graces Pillars Thanksgiving Celebration in Makati

Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) CEO and CBN Asia Founder, Gordon Robertson, met the organization’s faithful partners, known as Pillars, for a meaningful afternoon of worship, thanksgiving, and prayer at Makati Shangri-La, last June 28.

Almost 31 years ago, in 1994, Robertson established CBN Asia in the Philippines. Since then, the organization has grown and thrived through God’s provision and the generosity of its supporters.

The 700 Club Asia hosts Peter Kairuz and Joyce Burton-Titular served as masters of ceremony, while Reverb Worship PH artist Joselle Feliciano led the audience in a powerful time of praise and worship.

The Pillars also witnessed inspiring presentations that showed how CBN Asia, through their partnership, is reaching various parts of Asia and beyond to share the gospel.

Robertson then gave a deeper look into the work of the organization, highlighting how many lives are being transformed and how many people are coming to faith through CBN Asia’s ministries. He also encouraged the organization to expand its reach to other Asian countries, such as Japan.

He emphasized that in these challenging times, it’s more important than ever to work diligently so that everyone can hear about God.

The Pillars were encouraged by testimonies from The 700 Club Asia viewers—stories of how they encountered God, found a church community, and grew in their faith.

As they reaffirmed their commitment to the ministry through continued giving, they were serenaded by opera power couple Byeong In and Rachelle Gerodias-Park.

Kairuz then led a heartfelt prayer for the organization, its Pillars and their offerings, and those who have yet to come to faith in Jesus. Kairuz, together with Robertson and friends Paul and Ashley Lackie also prayed for the partners.

CBN Asia’s beloved partners were in for another surprise treat! Mr. Pure Energy, Gary Valenciano, together with theater artist RJ dela Fuente, graced the event with uplifting worship music.

Adelaida Sta. Ana, a faithful CBN Asia Pillar since 2018, shared her deep gratitude for the ministry. She regularly calls the Prayer Center whenever she needs support, drawing strength and encouragement through the prayers. Witnessing how God moves through the organization inspires her to keep giving.

“When God blesses you, you should also be a blessing to others. God gave me these blessings not just to keep for myself, but also for other people who ask God for help,” she said.

CBN Asia Recognized at Malacañang as Philippines Exits Financial Action Task Force Grey List

CBN Asia was honored as one of over 200 awardees at the national recognition ceremony for the Philippines’ successful exit from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Grey List. 

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. led the ceremony and personally handed the plaques of appreciation to the honorees. Representing the ministry, President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Kairuz, along with Vice President for Administration and Malou Ibañez, accepted the plaque of recognition on the organization’s behalf. 

“As a non-profit organization, the award speaks about CBN Asia’s integrity, about our commitment to cooperate with our government in however way we can. We are here to be good citizens, be good stewards of what the Lord has entrusted to us,” Kairuz said. 

The FATF Grey List includes countries under heightened monitoring due to risks such as money laundering and terrorism financing. 

This milestone reflects stronger global confidence in the Philippines’ financial systems. Being officially removed from the grey list brings multiple benefits to the country: it strengthens greater trust from international investors, creates more opportunities for local businesses, and lowers remittance costs for our hardworking overseas Filipino workers sending money back home. 

For CBN Asia, it brings greater transparency, credibility, and trust to the way resources are managed – a powerful testament that, by God’s grace, integrity and excellence remain at the heart of its mission. With every resource entrusted to the ministry, it remains faithful in stewarding resources, knowing that good governance is the foundation of true transformation. 

“CBN Asia was honored, but we were there on behalf of our nation. By the grace of God, we were part of this achievement. It was truly a great honor,” Malou Ibañez said.

CBN Asia Holds Heartfelt Pillars Thanksgiving Night in Cebu: Beyond Measure

CBN Asia hosted the Beyond Measure Pillars Thanksgiving Night at Summit Galleria, Cebu City, on April 26.

The special event gathered 163 ministry partners for an inspiring evening of worship and gratitude—celebrating 30 years of God’s faithfulness to the CBN Asia Family of Ministries.

The night was dedicated to honoring the generosity and impact of CBN Asia’s donors and partners, called pillars. They are the people whose faithful giving has transformed many lives through CBN Asia’s ministries and programs, such as prayer counseling, humanitarian aid, crosscultural missions training, and media ministry.

Hosted by Adrian Ding, former host of Kausaban (The 700 Club Bisaya version), the gathering was both heartfelt and spirit-filled.

The celebration opened with powerful praise and worship led by the CITICHURCH Music Team.

One of the most touching moments was the live testimony of Maria Liza Visande, an Operation Blessing donor, who shared how giving became a channel of blessing for others and herself.

Special awards were presented to exemplary partners. Roland Del Rosario received the Global Partner Award for his generous annual contribution.

The Widow’s Mite Award, which honors sacrificial giving and enduring faith, was given to Craig Ford, Sr. and Integ Management Outsourcing Solutions Corp.

Much like the poor widow in Mark 12:41–44 (NIV), who, despite having very little, gave all she had to the temple, these partners show a rare and selfless generosity. Their giving goes beyond the amount; it reflects a heart fully surrendered to God’s work.

With sincere humility and steadfast faith, they continue to sow into God’s ministry like CBN Asia, trusting that even the smallest offering, when given wholeheartedly, can make an eternal impact.

John Valdes Tan, CBN Asia’s Chief Operating Officer, gave an inspiring report on CBN Asia’s accomplishments and ongoing projects. Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer and The 700 Club Asia host Peter Kairuz prayed for the ministry partners and shared a powerful message from the Word of God.

Reverb Worship PH artist Joselle Feliciano performed “Hosanna” and her single “Love & Light,” while Asia’s Phoenix, Morissette, capped off the night with soul-stirring performances of “Waterwalk” and “Ihilak Lang Na.

The 700 Club Asia Live Inspires Hearts in Bulacan

CBN Asia brought the beloved program, The 700 Club Asia (TSCA) closer to its audience through TSCA Live event, at GCF Malolos, Bulacan, on February 5.

Hosted by Peter Kairuz, Icko Gonzalez, and Joselle Feliciano, the event featured a heartfelt ministry session—where hosts prayed for the audience, a time of uplifting praise and worship, and inspiring testimonials from different ministries of CBN Asia.

Among the highlights was the story of Joanna, an Operation Blessing scholar whose journey of resilience and redemption inspired many.

After her parents separated, Joanna struggled with bitterness and distrust, especially when her father abandoned them for another woman, leaving her and her mother to live with her grandmother. Determined to rise above her circumstances, she pursued her studies and later attended a youth camp, where she encountered God and found the strength to forgive her father.

With support from Operation Blessing’s Back-to-School program, she graduated cum laude in Christian Education. Now married and serving in her church, Joanna remains deeply grateful for the support that transformed her life.

In Bulacan, Operation Blessing continues to support six scholars, covering their monthly allowance, school uniforms, supplies, and review fees when needed. But many more students are still in need of help.

Continue to support TSCA Live, as this event encourages people to keep going and have faith in God, knowing that He is faithful and always ready to help in times of need. By bringing TSCA Live to different churches and places in the Philippines, we are personally proclaiming Christ and transforming lives,” said Rolando Alto IV, one of the producers of TSCA Live.
