Janelle Go discovered that a business can be more than a source of income—it can also become a platform to impact lives and glorify God.
Their family business, DB Audio, was established in 2000 with the mission of providing quality yet affordable sound systems to Filipinos nationwide. They believed that music has been an important part of Filipino culture, especially during celebrations and community gatherings.
In its early years, the company primarily focused on selling reliable sound systems and appliances. Beyond simply offering products, the team aspired to create something more meaningful.
But the journey was not that easy.
“We wanted DB Audio to make an impact, but we were still figuring out what that meant. We also didn’t know anyone in the music industry who could guide us, so building the business was very challenging,” said Janelle, Marketing Director of DB Audio and Astron Philippines, and daughter of the owner.
Because of the strong competition in the industry, it was difficult for them to establish and promote their brand. Janelle faced significant pressure and challenges along the way, and eventually, the weight of these responsibilities became overwhelming, leading her to take a break.
During her break, she came across an invitation to Reverb Worship’s “Risen: A Resurrection Sunday Gig.” Wanting to unwind and reconnect through worship music, she invited her father to attend with her.
To her surprise, the event was packed, especially with young people. There, she witnessed powerful performances from Rhea Rodriguez, JDP Jack D’ Preacher, and other Reverb Worship artists.
After the event, Janelle realized that it was the rest she needed. She felt that God truly spoke to her heart, and this experience became a turning point for her and her family in discovering a deeper purpose for DB Audio.
“God gave me a vision that He will use our brand not just to sell speakers, but to bring hope, love, and restoration to Filipinos,” Janelle shared.
They began partnering with Reverb Worship, the music arm of CBN Asia. As the company continued to grow, they experienced how God opened many doors.
“More than the financial provision, we really saw God giving us the right people and the right opportunities for our business,” she added.
They later expanded their partnerships with other CBN Asia ministries, such as the Asian Center for Missions and Operation Blessing. Through these, Janelle and her father witnessed how DB Audio and Astron Philippines continued to flourish, not just as a business, but as a blessing to others.
“I’ve really experienced the faithfulness of God. He is truly reliable,” Janelle testified.
