Reverb Worship PH Releases First-Ever Instrumental Hymns EP, Sound Waves Vol. 1

Reverb Worship PH, the official music arm of CBN Asia, released its first-ever instrumental hymns project, Sound Waves (Instrumental Hymns) Vol. 1, on May 30 across all major streaming platforms. The extended play offers a reflective, modern take on classic Christian hymns—reimagined through moving piano, cello, and violin arrangements.

Featuring beloved songs such as “Blessed Assurance,” “Amazing Grace,” “It Is Well With My Soul,” and “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” this four-track collection marks a significant new direction for Reverb Worship.

“For the past few years, Reverb Worship has been dedicated to creating Christian contemporary music,” shares project head and co-producer Ivy Catucod. “This time, we are excited to present a refreshing instrumental hymns EP, designed for our listeners to enjoy during quiet moments of reflection and communion with God.”

The music was arranged, recorded, and mixed by Eboy Refuerzo at The Apartment studio, with performances by Theodore Philip Amper on cello and Mara Leigh Guevara on violin.

Inspired by verses such as Romans 8:31-39, Psalm 46:1-3, and Lamentations 3:22-23, the EP explores themes of grace, peace, and unwavering faith. With no lyrics, the arrangements allow space for personal reflection, prayer, and deep rest in God’s presence.

The track “Amazing Grace” builds gradually from solitary piano to rich string harmonies, capturing the journey from brokenness to redemption, while “It Is Well With My Soul” offers a calm, steady rhythm that evokes peace in the midst of life’s storms.

“Our prayer is that each listener will experience a powerful outpouring of worship to the Lord. May God’s love and mercy shine brightly in their lives on their daily journey with Him,” Catucod said.

Stream Sound Waves, Vol. 1 now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. Follow Reverb Worship PH on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for updates, behind-the-scenes content, and upcoming music releases that will continue to inspire and uplift.

Kids and Parents in Laguna Celebrate an Easter to Remember with Superbook!

Every Easter, malls, parks, and tourist spots are filled with families enjoying the Holy Week break. Many join fun activities like egg hunts, games, and family outings, creating special memories together.

But beyond all the fun and excitement, Easter is really about Jesus. It’s a time to remember His great love, His sacrifice on the Cross, and His resurrection that gives us hope and new life.

Last April 20, Superbook partnered with Robinsons Mall Galleria South to bring the “Sabay-Sabay Lilipad” event to Laguna, where kids and families enjoyed a fun and meaningful Easter. Sabay-Sabay Lilipad is an event created by Superbook with the goal of sharing God’s love with people in different places, through the help of Gizmo and the SuperCrew. It was more than just an event, it was an opportunity to lead families to Jesus.

The morning started with exciting activities. Kids came with their parents—some even in costumes! They joined coloring sessions, played with Superbook jigsaw puzzles, and enjoyed booths prepared by Robinsons Mall.

Later that afternoon, the second part of the event began. One of the parents, Santi Opiña, came with his wife, Dona, their son Jalel, as well as his sister and nephew. Santi shared how Superbook was a big part of his childhood and how he now wants his son to grow up knowing Jesus, through the animated program, too.  

“It’s great that media and animation are being used to teach kids about God. At a young age, it’s important for children to know who God is and how much He loves them,” he said. Santi was thankful that through Superbook, his son understood the love of Christ.

The highlight of the day was watching the Superbook episode “Doubting Thomas,” where one of Jesus’ friends, Thomas, had a hard time believing that Jesus was alive again. The kids learned that not even death could stop Jesus and that we can trust what He says. After watching, kids and parents sang and danced with Gizmo to “The Salvation Poem,” and the kids joined in prayer to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The event ended with fun photo moments with Gizmo.

It was a beautiful Easter celebration filled with laughter and learning. And most of all, it was a day to remember that Jesus is the true reason for the season. Because of His sacrifice, we have the gift of new life.

Stay updated on where Gizmo and the SuperCrew will land next by following the Batang Superbook Facebook page and our Instagram and X at @batangsuperbook. If you’d like to help more kids and families experience the life-changing love of Jesus, you can partner with us at cbnasia.com/give.

How Can I Share Christ During Holy Week?

Holy Week is a time when many people seek peace, reflect on life, and draw closer to God. As believers, this is a great opportunity to share the love of Christ and help others know Him as their Lord and Savior.

If you are looking for ways to share Christ this Holy Week, here are some simple yet meaningful ways to do so:

1. Invite your friends and family to church

Many churches hold special Holy Week services that focus on Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection. If your church has one, invite your loved ones to come with you. Worshiping together can be a good way for them to experience God’s presence.

The Bible reminds us to gather as believers and encourage one another in faith: “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another” (Hebrews 10:25).

Attending a church service can help them understand the true meaning of Holy Week and draw them closer to Christ.

2. Share stories of God’s goodness in your life

Personal testimonies are one of the most powerful ways to share Christ. When talking with friends or family, share how God has worked in your life—whether through answered prayers, guidance in difficult times, or unexpected blessings.

Being open about both struggles and victories allows others to see God’s faithfulness.

The Psalmist expressed the importance of sharing personal experiences of God’s goodness when he invited people to listen as he shared the good things that God has done to him (Psalm 66:16). Your story can encourage others to trust in God and seek Him in their own lives.

3. Share your faith through social media

In today’s digital world, social media is a great platform to share your faith. Many people are online, especially during Holy Week, as they relax and take a break.

Posting a Bible verse, a reflection, or a personal testimony can reach someone who needs encouragement. The Bible calls us to declare God’s goodness to the world (Psalm 96:3), and a simple post may be exactly what someone needs to be reminded of God’s love.

4. Watch something meaningful together

Another way to share Christ is by inviting your loved ones to watch an inspiring program about faith like CBN Asia’s Holy Week Special, Tanikala presents “Preso,” airing on Good Friday, April 18, at 5:30 PM on GMA.

This story can start conversations about faith and God’s grace. Watching together can be a simple yet meaningful way to reflect on Christ’s goodness and inspire others to seek Him.

Jesus gave us the greatest mission—to share the Good News with others (Matthew 28:19). Let’s obey His Word and bring others closer to Him.

Whether through an invitation, a conversation, or a simple act of sharing online or spending time with loved ones, the best gift you can give is the message of God’s love and salvation.

Operation Blessing Helps L.A. Fires Survivor Rise from the Ashes

The moment Andy Calica saw his house in flames, his knees weakened. He has seen wildfires before, but never imagined that one day, his home would be burned to ashes. “There was a moment when I felt like I was going to pass out. Watching our house burn down, we had no time to grab anything—just our pajamas and slippers,” Andy said to the Operation Blessing team.

When the fire finally died down, Andy returned the next morning, hoping for a miracle.

But all that greeted him was devastation. The house they built, the memories they cherished, and the life savings he had carefully secured in a vault—all gone. Hundreds and thousands worth of hard work turned into nothing but ashes.

“Everything we worked for, everything we built—gone in the blink of an eye. Why did this happen? I am not a bad person,” Andy couldn’t help but ask God.

For years, Andy has been on the giving end, offering help to those in need. But now, for the first time, he found himself on the receiving end. It was a humbling experience that brought him to his knees in prayer. That was when he received an answer he never expected.

“The Lord’s message was so clear to me: ‘Andy, do you know why I allowed this to happen to you? It’s because I wanted you to understand how the people you help feel.’”

As tears filled his eyes, gratitude replaced despair as he received the kindness of Operation Blessing to his family. He never thought he would be in this position, yet here he was, overwhelmed by the generosity of people he did not know.

Through Operation Blessing, CBN Asia’s humanitarian arm, Andy and his family received emergency meal kits, hygiene supplies, clean water, and cleaning materials. More than the physical help, it was the outpouring of love and prayers that encouraged him.

“Thank you so much. Words are not enough to express my gratitude, but I trust that God will bless everyone who has helped and will continue to help,” he said.

Andy has learned a profound truth—nothing in this world is permanent. What is here today can be gone tomorrow. But in the face of loss, faith remains. And through the kindness of people like you, hope is never lost.

Partner with us to be an instrument of hope. Just as Andy once gave, and now receives, you too can be a blessing to those affected by L.A. fires. Your generosity can help families like his rebuild their lives.

Will you give today?

Every donation, big or small, brings hope to those who have lost everything. Join us in spreading hope and healing. Donate to Operation Blessing today. 

Today’s Youth are Digital Learners: How Does Superbook Teach Them About Jesus?

Children are exposed to different kinds of information online, beneficial and harmful alike. This is why it is important for parents, teachers, and church workers to be one step ahead in teaching them good values.

Dr. Rommel Mangila and his wife, Ann, are well aware of this fact. Aside from being parents themselves, they also manage a Christian school and pastor a church in Tondo, Manila.

Superbook is one of the tools that they use to teach Bible lessons to children, especially their sons CJ and Ethan. “When I let them watch Superbook episodes, I explain to them the values that were taught to Chris, Joy, and Gizmo,” Ann said. Through Superbook, the boys have learned to apply these godly values in their lives.

She shared that when children are taught Bible lessons, they will remember them as they grow up. “They will face the world doing what is right according to God’s Word,” she added.

Aside from CJ and Ethan, other students from Gymnazo Christian Academy were also taught important lessons through Superbook during the National Bible Month.

Dr. Rommel pointed out that today’s children are now digital learners. “It’s good that there are platforms like Superbook that reach out to the new generation,” he said, emphasizing the engaging elements of the show.

And this is exactly the mission of Superbook: to share Jesus with thousands of Filipino children through captivating animation and Bible-based storytelling. The Super Crew travels all over the country and engage children through fun games, film showing, and lesson time.

Superbook’s reach extends online, producing inspirational content on Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Superbook also releases various materials such as Family Discussion Guides, Story Books, Activity Books, and more to help parents and teachers share Bible lessons with kids.

As the quote from Dr. Jose Rizal goes, the youth is the hope of our nation. With the help of Superbook, the future is brighter as the next generation learns to love and obey Jesus.

Is Breakthrough Possible Even After a Series of Trials?

Sometimes, life gives us more trials than we can handle. There were moments when they come consecutively without prior warning, leaving us stunned and unable to come up with wise solutions.

When everything feels overwhelming, we start to wonder, “Is breakthrough possible? Is there a light at the end of this long and grueling tunnel?”

That’s what Marcha Liwanag constantly asked when a series of trials hit her life.

Despite growing up financially challenged, Marcha was full of dreams. She had a vision of who she wanted to become. Initially, her relatives abroad offered support, and everything seemed to go well as planned.

But something happened that put her dreams on hold. She entrusted her heart to a man who could not honor his marriage vow, and Marcha became legally separated at a very young age.

Brokenhearted, she continued pursuing her dream and focused on improving herself. She went to Dubai to work, but a year later, she noticed something on her skin.

“My hand started to have wounds. It was found out that I have skin lupus and the water in Dubai didn’t complement my skin condition,” Marcha said.

She reluctantly went back to the Philippines, putting her dreams on hold.

Marcha struggled to find a job in the Philippines and had a hard time supporting herself. She took teaching units in hopes of becoming a teacher, but it was still hard to sustain her daily needs.

With a broken dream, a broken heart from a failed marriage, and a downcast spirit due to an illness and lack of provision, Marcha felt that life was sucked out of her.

From someone who knew exactly what she wanted to become, all of a sudden, she didn’t know what to do and had no hope for the future.

Are you going through something similar?

But indeed, God comforts those who mourn.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.” (Psalm 34:18, ICB)

During those times when she was losing hope, Marcha watched The 700 Club Asia. God met Marcha where she was. He revived her hope and renewed her strength.

While watching the program’s live telethon, she sent a prayer request to find a teaching job. One of the hosts prayed for her during the live broadcast, which made her feel very blessed.

“I prayed along and claimed the answer to that prayer,” Marcha recalled.

And indeed, God answered her prayer—she was hired as a teacher! Finally, her lifelong dream came true.

She received a breakthrough after a series of trials, proving that no matter what challenges come, there is always hope in God and nothing is impossible in Him.

May you experience God in the same way.

Partner with us to give hope to those in need like Marcha!

Are You Questioning Your Breakthrough?

Is it hard to believe that your breakthrough is coming?

Let Marlon Villamater’s story remind you that we have a loving God who will help and save you.

Marlon, a Telecommunications Engineer working as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) in the UAE, had a stable job that allowed him to provide comfortably for his family back home in the Philippines.

However, his marriage with his wife, Neriza, faced a difficult test when he became involved in paid sexual services while living in the Middle East.

One day, Marlon started having severe stomach pain, which quickly worsened into digestive problems, constant vomiting, and other complications. The pain was unbearable and began to affect his mental health.

He fell into depression, and as hopelessness took over, he started hearing voices pushing him to end his life.

Are you going through a similar experience?

Hang in there, there is hope for you.

Just as he was about to give up, Marlon heard a still, small voice that felt like a warm embrace. A sense of peace covered him, and he believed it was God speaking to him.

Curious about what he had experienced, he started searching for answers and came across Miriam Quiambao’s story on The 700 Club Asia. Her testimony moved him and gave him a desire to know Jesus more. Determined to learn, he went out and bought his own Bible.

“Jesus, if that was really Your voice, then speak to me through Your Word,” Marlon prayed as he opened his Bible.

He was led to John 14:26, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

At that moment, Marlon felt God’s presence so deeply. He knew in his heart that it was Jesus who saved him from ending his own life.

Marlon’s life began to change as he started his breakthrough of knowing Jesus.

He was introduced to a Christian family in the Middle East who welcomed him and invited him to church. He also kept watching powerful testimonies on The 700 Club Asia and called CBN Asia’s Prayer counselors for guidance and prayers.

Marlon also took steps to restore his marriage and eventually decided to return to the Philippines for good. He led his family to the Lord, and today, they are happily serving Him together.

“It’s not just about receiving blessings or sharing them, it’s about sharing the Gospel, sharing Jesus. That’s what The 700 Club Asia is all about,” Marlon said.

How Can I Find True Love?

Have you ever asked this question before?

You are not alone. Everyone wants to be loved. Every person longs to be seen, accepted, and cared for through good and bad, through ups and downs.

When this longing is not met, people look for it elsewhere.

That’s what happened to Daymeer Baetiong.

Born from an affair, he was raised in a family that never truly felt like his own. Surrounded by a world that wasn’t built for him, he carried the quiet pain of not belonging.

He sought acceptance elsewhere since he struggled to find it within the walls of his home and found it in friends who introduced him to alcohol.

“It felt like we were family. We were happy and complete,” Daymeer said.

Their drinking sessions became frequent, sometimes leading to moments of physical intimacy. One night, a friend in his 40s kissed him. Uncomfortable, Daymeer pulled away, dismissing it as drunken behavior. Yet, deep down, he believed physical intimacy meant love.

That belief was shattered when seven friends raped him and recorded it.

His innocence was stolen, his heart was broken, and his soul was tainted on that horrendous night. Worse, his so-called friends blackmailed him with the video, trapping him in an even darker reality—one where he became their sex slave for four years.

Has something similar happened to you? Have you also been betrayed by the people you trusted, and have looked for love in the wrong places only to be deceived and used?

No words could describe how broken and miserable Daymeer felt.

When it became unbearable, he decided to end his life to protect his family’s name.

But that night, he finally found true love.

The kind of love that doesn’t disappoint, a love that never fails or gives up—the love of God.

As he watched The 700 Club Asia, Daymeer felt overwhelming peace as he listened to Peter Kairuz talk about Jeremiah 29:11, and prayed along.

For the first time, he felt home. He felt truly loved.

Everything changed since then. He found a godly father figure who was a missionary and mentored him, and he also relied on the Prayer Center of CBN Asia.

“They became my safe place and prayer partner. They didn’t judge me. They allowed me to cry, share my story, and patiently listened,” Daymeer shared.

Now that he has experienced God’s love, Daymeer wants to guide others to Christ.

You too can do the same. Partner with us and see lives changed by God’s love!

Experience real love. Call 8-737-0700, or visit this page.

God is a Father to the Fatherless

Are you longing for your father’s presence?

JR Etis was.

His dad worked overseas as an OFW, as a result, he navigated his childhood without a strong father figure. Without his dad by his side, JR often felt vulnerable. In addition to this, he was bullied in school. He had no one to stand up for him, no one to run to for protection.

“My classmates would discourage me, saying that I am hopeless and would not graduate,” he shared.

When his father finally retired and returned home, JR was overjoyed. He believed this was his chance to make up for lost time and to bond with his father, to experience what he had longed for all his life.

But that moment never came. Shortly after coming home, his father became sick.

“The doctors told us he had prostate cancer—stage 4. We were completely shocked. There were no signs,” he recalled.

Before JR could truly get to know his father, he passed away.

Because of this, JR sank into deep depression.

Have you ever felt the same way—like the pain is too much to bear, and you have nowhere to turn?

That was JR’s reality. But little did JR know, God was moving.

He had a friend who never gave up on him—constantly encouraging him and sharing the Gospel. That same friend also urged him to watch The 700 Club Asia.

One night, as he tuned in, he heard the host, Peter Kairuz, praying for someone struggling with depression. Something inside him stirred. Deep down, he knew that prayer was for him.

Desperate for help, he called the number on the screen. A prayer counselor answered, prayed over him, and encouraged him to surrender his life to Christ. Right then and there, JR made the decision to accept Jesus into his heart.

“The prayer counselor advised me to attend church, and I followed,” he shared.

And that decision changed everything. His journey with God wasn’t instant, but it was real. Step by step, JR grew in faith. He found strength in God’s Word, healing in His presence, and hope for the future.

Years later, JR has completed his degree in IT. He, too, is working as an OFW—this time in Abu Dhabi, UAE. But more than just building a career, he is building the Kingdom of God.

He now serves as one of the core group leaders in Every Nation Church in Abu Dhabi, helping others find the same hope and healing he once desperately needed.

JR’s story is a testament to God’s faithfulness. No matter how broken you feel, no matter how deep your sorrow—there is hope in Jesus. He can turn your pain into purpose, just like He did for JR.

“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy.” (Psalm 30:11)

Like JR, are you struggling with grief, depression, or loneliness?

You are not alone. Call us today and allow us to journey with you in prayer.
