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.”

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 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 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.”

Reverb Worship, the music arm of CBN Asia, continues to make waves in the Philippine music industry as it gains recognition during the recently concluded 37^th Awit Awards, held at the Music Museum.

Earning recognition alongside some of the most well-known and celebrated artists like P-pop sensations BINI, SB19, and Lola Amour, Reverb Worship artists showcased the growing influence of Christian Contemporary Music on the national stage.

Meanwhile, James Reyes, celebrated for his heartfelt and faith-driven songs like Sa’Yong Pangalan, was nominated for People’s Voice Breakthrough Artist.

The Muli singer continued, “Forever thankful to my Reverb Worship PH Family. What an adventure! Thank you to CBN Asia for believing in this song. All praises to Jesus!”

Reverb Worship Project Manager and Producer Ivy Catucod expressed gratitude that prestigious award-giving bodies like Awit Awards recognize the label’s mission to create music that inspires and transforms.

Two inspirational songs produced by Reverb Worship PH, CBN Asia’s music arm, received nominations and special citations at this year’s Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA).

Joselle Feliciano’s bossa-nova track “Wala Nang Hahanapin Pa” has earned a special citation for Best Inspirational Religious Song. Arranged and produced by Gino Cruz, this heartfelt ode to the beauty of God’s creation invites listeners to celebrate the beauty of life—from nature’s wonders to everyday joys.

“This recognition has taught me that the greatest blessings can often come from choosing to follow the Lord in His simple requests,” Joselle said. “I set out to write “Wala Nang Hahanapin Pa” to praise God in my own musical style—jazz and bossa nova. I wasn’t really sure if it would work but tried, while asking the Lord for the grace and creativity to finish this song.”

She praised God for the recognition in the 15^th year of the prestigious award-giving body and shared the milestone with everyone who made it possible.

“It is amazing how far He would take what little we contribute and use it to bless many. Thank you, CMMA! Thank you, Lord! To Him be the glory, forever and always!”

On the other hand, “Muli” by gospel rapper JDP Jack D’Preacher bagged a special citation for the Best Music Video category. Directed by Lyle Apalisok, the music video beautifully encapsulates the song’s raw themes of sin, addiction, and redemption, and elevates its message of God’s forgiveness that anyone seeking a fresh start can resonate with.

“I want to thank Lord Jesus because He turned my mess into a message. I never imagined that a song that once existed only in my mind would be given such recognition. The song “Muli” is not about me; it is the story of the Lord and how He freed me from the chains of sin and accepted me despite my repeated mistakes. So, I will never claim this CMMA award as my own, it belongs to God!” JDP Jack D’Preacher said.

Director Lyle Apalisok echoes his sentiments and shares how getting the nods from prestigious award-giving bodies like CMMA affirms and fuels his work as a Christian artist.

“It is a beautiful affirmation of God’s purpose for my work as an artist. This award honors the value He places on what I create and the journey I share with those who inspire me, especially my wife Julia. Collaborating with a team deeply passionate about their craft and the gospel has been a profound blessing.”

As Reverb Worship songs garner acclaim, Icko Gonzalez, CBN Asia’s Special Projects Manager, hopes that CBN Asia’s music label continues to reach a wider audience and share God’s love, hope, and healing.

“Receiving this recognition is truly a gift from the Lord, and we are beyond grateful. It’s humbling to know our songs are reaching and blessing thousands. Thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for us. Our prayer is that these songs continue to transform hearts and draw people closer to Jesus.”
