Reverb Worship Artists Grace the International Launch of “Bridging Horizons: Naval Cultural Exchange Thru Arts”

Reverb Worship PH took the global stage at the historic Manila Metropolitan Theatre during the international launch of “Bridging Horizons: Naval Cultural Exchange Thru the Arts,” an initiative led by Vice Admiral Toribio Dulinayan Adaci Jr., Hon. Numero “Uno” G. Lim, and the talented artist Kristine Ann S. Lim, a Philippine Navy Reservist Goodwill Ambassador for Culture and Arts.

For the first time, Reverb Worship artists Jex De Castro, Joselle Feliciano, JDP Jack D’ Preacher, Shekinah Gram, Nolo and Jasmine Lopez, Neo Rivera, Rhea Rodriguez, and James Reyes united to perform music with the aim of connecting people and bridging cultural gaps.

This initiative is a shared goal between Reverb Worship and the proponents of Bridging Horizons—Vice Admiral Toribio Dulinayan Adaci Jr., Hon. Numero “Uno” G. Lim, and Kristine Lim.

While the project’s objective is to enhance diplomatic efforts through cultural and artistic exchange, thereby bridging horizons, Reverb Worship seeks to achieve a similar goal by connecting people to Christ through their music.

One of the event’s highlights was the outstanding performances by Reverb Worship artists. These artists not only showcased their vocal talents, but also conveyed the beautiful truths of Jesus through their songs.

Setting the event’s tone, Rhea Rodriguez, Joselle Feliciano, Shekinah Gram, along Reverb Worship project manager Ivy Catucod, opened the event with worship songs. This was a remarkable opportunity to share the message of Jesus with an audience that included members of the Philippine Navy.

The worship continued with captivating performances by Reverb Worship artists:

Shekinah Gram began the day with her heartwarming rendition of “Pansumandali,” while Joselle Feliciano lit up the room with her single, “Love and Light.”

Rhea Rodriguez stirred nationalistic pride in the room with “Pilipinas Natin ‘To” featuring JDP Jack D’Preacher, who delivered an impressive rap performance. Meanwhile, James Reyes took the audience to church with his powerful song, “Sa’Yong Pangalan.”

Nolo and Jasmine Lopez performed their popular wedding song, “Tugon,” adding a joyful atmosphere to the event.

Neo Rivera closed the morning event with a captivating performance of “2AM Wide Awake,” with JDP Jack D’Preacher. In the main event, JDP Jack D’Preacher left a lasting impact with his soulful performance of “Muli.”

Moreover, Neo Rivera serenaded the theater once again with a live performance of his latest song, “Alam Ko.” Wrapping up the performances, Jex De Castro and Joselle Feliciano sang “Sa’Yo Lang.”

The performances by Reverb Worship artists left a profound impression on the audience, emphasizing the message of “Bridging Horizons.”

The artists direct everything back to God, acknowledging that it is He who has elevated their music, artists, and initiative to greater levels of influence and impact. They are committed to bridging horizons between Jesus and those seeking spiritual connection.

Stay tuned for new music releases and updates by following the Reverb Worship Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

Neo Rivera Sings About God’s Comfort in New Song, “Alam Ko”

Actor and singer-songwriter Neo Rivera reassures listeners of God’s comforting love in his newest inspirational single produced by Reverb Worship PH titled, Alam Ko—out now on all digital streaming platforms worldwide!

Originally written as a “rant” song, Neo penned Alam Ko in just 10 minutes, which flowed from a night of intense emotions, feelings of isolation, and the weight of being left behind. That was when critically acclaimed songwriter and music producer Kikx Salazar stepped in and urged him to re-write the song, but this time, from God’s point of view.

“I wanted the song to feel like a warm hug from God. A comfort in isolation,” Neo recalled. “After the song session with Kikx, the lyrics spoke to me so much. How it was initially a rant song then turned out to be an answer to that rant—it spoke to me on many levels.”

A personal message of faith, paired with Neo’s soulful vocals and Kikx’s masterful composition, Alam Ko serves as a beautiful reminder that even when one doesn’t express pains, feelings, and needs, God knows and cares deeply, “God may seem silent, and we may never fully understand His ways, but we are assured that He is good and will always be faithful.”

Kikx echoes his sentiments and shares a profound message for anyone who is going through tough times, “In times of doubt, weakness, and pain… in times we cannot escape the storm, know that we don’t have to face it alone. We have God and He knows all our brokenness and cries. Hold on to Him and let Him carry us through it all.”

Meanwhile, CBN Asia’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer John Valdes Tan hopes that the song will bring listeners from all walks of life to a moment of reflection and comfort.

“The Reverb Worship family is so proud to be working again with Neo Rivera and Kiko Salazar to bring another amazing song that soothes our worries. Alam Ko brings the message of God’s assurance, that He knows what is best for us and He has the best plan for our life. This will be our go-to song whenever we feel unsure and unsafe. God will be our safe and strong tower. (https://hairrestore.com) He is our strength forever.”

Be moved, comforted, and inspired by Neo Rivera’s Alam Ko. Stream it on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all digital streaming platforms worldwide. For more updates, follow Reverb Worship PH on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

Gospel Rapper JDP Jack D’Preacher Gets Real About Sin and Repentance in His Inspiring New Song “Muli”

JDP Jack D’Preacher, a rising talent in the gospel rap scene, gets real and raw and captivates listeners with his latest single with Reverb Worship PH titled, Muli—out now on all digital streaming platforms worldwide!

Drawn from firsthand experiences, Muli delves into the depths of sin, addiction, and emotional chains—taking the listeners on a transformative journey of guilt, repentance, and forgiveness. Through his strong rhythmic rap style and solid lyrical flow, JDP Jack D’Preacher fearlessly addresses his personal yet universal struggles and offers hope to anyone who is seeking a fresh start in life.

“I am living a double life,” JDP Jack D’Preacher confessed. “I have repetitive sins that damaged me, and I want a way out. As Matthew 26:41 says, ‘The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak’, Muli is about resisting temptation and how the Lord provides a way out. It reminds everyone that Jesus ​​is forgiving and merciful.”

With his unique blend of hip-hop and gospel, the up-and-coming artist delivers a message that resonates with audiences from all walks of life. Muli invites listeners to confront past mistakes, repent, and find comfort in the loving arms of God.

“Sin is not something that we are proud of. It is shameful and we don’t want other people to judge us. But if I don’t talk about this, then who will? I can’t let my fear hinder the amazing grace, power, and miracle that Jesus has done in my life. I wrote this song for people to know that there is hope and freedom in Christ,” JDP Jack D’Preacher said.

After successfully producing Christian Contemporary songs in the past three years, CBN Asia’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer John Valdes Tan hopes that Reverb Worship’s newest release would inspire listeners anew.

“I am so excited about the release of Muli, Reverb Worship’s first venture into rap music. I believe the honesty and rawness of this song will resonate with the listeners of rap. I pray that this song will touch a deep core in their hearts and turn it once again to God.”

Experience God’s hope and redemption. Stream Muli by JDP Jack D’Preacher on Spotify, Apple Music, and all digital streaming platforms worldwide.

Honoring Pat Robertson, 1930-2023: Witness to a God-Sized, World-Changing Dream

Pat Robertson: March 22, 1930 – June 8, 2023

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Pat Robertson, longtime TV host, religious broadcaster, educator, humanitarian, and one-time presidential candidate died at his home in Virginia Beach early Thursday morning. He was 93.

Perhaps best known for offering prayer and political commentary at the helm of The 700 Club, the flagship program of his media ministry, Robertson’s rise to prominence is rooted in what he called a vision from God to create The Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded in 1960. A prolific innovator, he also started a Christian university, a legal advocacy group, and an international NGO specializing in disaster relief.

Even while promoting a worldview that believes in the inerrancy of the Bible, both his approach to business and his on-air persona were considered unorthodox by some – if not ahead of his time. Today, his influence and legacy crisscross interests and industries that have broken barriers for countless Christian leaders and laypeople.

Born Marion Gordon Robertson in Lexington, Virginia on March 22, 1930, the nickname “Pat” was given to him by his older brother. Sticking with that moniker rather than his birth name was just the first of many conventions he would defy during his lifetime.

The Yale-educated lawyer and son of a U.S. senator, Robertson had hoped to become a successful businessman. In his 1972 autobiography, Shout It From the Housetops, he wrote about his dream of living the life of a New York socialite. But his path took a decidedly different turn in the 1950s when he became a born-again Christian.

“Deep in my heart, I heard (God) speaking to me about the television ministry: ‘Go and possess the station. It is yours.'” – an excerpt from Robertson’s autobiography, Shout It From the Housetops

Robertson abandoned his own dream and accepted what he saw as God’s plan: to start a ministry in Christian broadcasting. But his launch as a religious broadcaster came with challenges, starting with little capital and a dilapidated TV station for sale in Portsmouth, Virginia.

“He had no money to speak of, and he decided the Lord wanted him to have that station,” recalled Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California. “When it was all said and done, Pat got it for free. So that means not only did he have faith, but he was a good negotiator, too.”

In 1960, after moving his wife and kids to Virginia, he created what would become The Christian Broadcasting Network with no more than $70 to his name and a company bank account with a meager $3 initial deposit.

Those humble beginnings, predicated on vision and seeds of faith, eventually grew into a global media ministry that would reach hundreds of millions of people across six of the seven continents.

In 1966, Robertson began hosting a daily talk show, The 700 Club. Still on the air today, it is one of the longest-running programs in television history.

From the set of The 700 Club, he transformed Christian television. But his reach went far beyond spirituality.

By the 1970s, Robertson – who once described himself as a “newsman” at heart – had secured interviews with military and political leaders such as the late Yitzhak Rabin, Israel’s prime minister, and Jimmy Carter, who was then Georgia’s governor and would win the White House with the support of evangelical Christians.

Four years later, Robertson was part of the conservative leadership that helped propel Ronald Reagan into the White House in 1980.

By 1988, Robertson ran for the presidency himself – stunning the political world with his second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

“He shattered the stain glass window,” reflected Bishop T.D. Jakes, pastor of the Potter’s House in Dallas. “People of faith were taken seriously beyond the church house and into the White House.”

Although he lost the 1988 Republican nomination to George H. W. Bush, Robertson’s candidacy changed the face of American politics.

“When you think of Pat Robertson, I think one of the major lessons you learn is that if you have a dream, go after it. Even if you fall short of it,” Bishop Jakes continued.

He expanded his political influence by bringing thousands of evangelicals into the electoral process through the founding of the Christian Coalition. He also created the American Center for Law and Justice with a mandate to protect religious freedoms.

“Pat always had this vision to go where a lot of people don’t go. When you do that, sometimes you’re criticized by people,” Pastor Laurie said. “He’s been a risk taker in the best sense of the word. A visionary. A dreamer. But someone whose message was the Gospel.”

With his return to CBN after the failed campaign, Robertson took the company globally, dramatically extending the reach of the ministry’s Christian programming to over 150 countries in more than 100 languages through satellite technology.

Throughout his career, his influence was measured, in part, by his social and political commentary – which garnered both praise and criticism.

“I was always impressed with his boldness,” commented Franklin Graham, son of the late Rev. Billy Graham. “He did it in a nice way. He wasn’t offensive, but he spoke truth. And that offended people – when you speak truth. But that’s ok.”

A trailblazer, he invited Ben Kinchlow, an ordained African Methodist Episcopal Church minister, to serve as a co-host in the 1970s. Kinchlow, who died in 2019, often acknowledged the decision was made during a time when “you don’t see a lot of African Americans on TV.”

Robertson also defied objections to hiring radio DJ Scott Ross, whose interracial marriage to former Ronettes singer Nedra Talley drew criticism from some corners in the 1960s South.

“I didn’t think of myself as much of a pioneer. I just knew that whatever the prejudices of the day, we were not going to submit to any of them. . .I believe the Bible had instructed that whether rich or poor, male or female, African American or white, we all were one in Christ Jesus.” – an excerpt from Robertson’s I Have Walked With the Living God.

While his commentary was no stranger to news headlines, what often went underreported was his humanitarian efforts.

In 1978, he started Operation Blessing, a Christian-based humanitarian group specializing in disaster relief, hunger aid, clean water, and medical care. The ministry has delivered hundreds of millions pounds of food and helped millions of poor and needy people in every corner of the planet.

“Raw Christian compassion” is how the late Jack Hayford described the ministry’s impact. “That’s been fairly low-profile. Globally, it’s been powerfully impacting,” he said before his passing in January 2023.

Robertson maintained strong relationships with fellow evangelicals, including Billy Graham. In 1989 after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Christian broadcaster joined his friend and well-known evangelist for ministry outreaches in several former communist countries.

CBN, at Robertson’s direction, supported thousands of churches across central and eastern Europe, including in Ukraine and Russia. He also made inroads in Asia, securing broadcasting agreements and humanitarian outreaches in China.

Generosity was a core conviction throughout his career and was often made evident in his support of other ministries, including Samaritan’s Purse – started by Graham’s eldest son, Franklin.

“Pat Robertson invested in other people and other ministries. A lot of people don’t do that,” explained Graham, CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. “Pat invested in other people. He invested in my life.”

Robertson’s reach extended to the Middle East, where he ran a television network reaching out to Arabic-speaking audiences. He also boldly stood with Israel, even in times of war.

A renaissance man, he was a New York Times bestselling author exploring spiritual how-tos, finance, and even fiction. He also heavily invested in education.

“One of the things I appreciated about Pat Robertson was that Pat always had a sense of the world in mind to permeate all of life. I think that’s why God led him to start Regent University,” said Bible teacher and longtime friend Kay Arthur.

Robertson served as chancellor of Regent University, a Christian college he founded in Virginia Beach, VA in 1977, whose motto is to produce “Christian leadership to change the world.”

In his later years, he suffered several health setbacks, including a horseback riding accident in 2017 and a stroke in 2018. He showed his resilience by returning to the set of The 700 Club ten days after his embolic stroke on February 12, 2018.

“I’m kind of like an old car. They just keep putting parts in,” he joked during his televised appearance describing his pacemaker.

In October 2021, Robertson announced he was stepping down as a daily host – coinciding with the ministry’s 60th anniversary. However, even after retirement, he frequently made monthly appearances fielding a range of questions and topics from viewers.

“What really makes him a giant is that he never pointed toward himself – but to the cross,” Jakes said.

Despite his declining health and losing the love of his life in April 2022 – Dede, his wife of nearly 70 years – Robertson’s faith, obedience, and love for God never wavered.

Left to cherish his memory are his four children Tim, Elizabeth, Gordon, and Ann; 14 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; and thousands across the CBN family of domestic and international ministries.

Superbook Shares the Message of Jesus to the Children of Lipa, Batangas

Gizmo once again embarked on an extraordinary adventure to spread the love of Jesus to children everywhere!

Recently, the lovable robot from Superbook visited Lipa, Batangas. The “Gizmo on the GO!” event prepared by the Superbook team ignited the hearts of Filipino families and young fans—through an unforgettable experience filled with games, activities, and the powerful message of the gospel.

Among the eager attendees was Ernest Buenviaje, an energetic 10-year-old who considers himself a certified Batang Superbook.

“I enjoy watching Superbook because it teaches valuable moral lessons that we can pass on to future generations as we grow older,” Ernest shared.

Just like Ernest, a lot of children had fun as they dived into a world of Superbook wonder in different stations inside the activity area. Aside from entertainment, the activities prepared for the kids taught them valuable lessons.

The Creation Station, a hub of creativity, delighted them with Superbook-themed coloring pages that came to life with their vivid imaginations. The Arcade Station experience was a blast as they engaged in Superbook games. The Photobooth Station captured the joyous moments of children as they proudly showcased their artwork from the Creation Station.

The highlight of the day was an exciting game called “Gizmo’s Lab,” where Ernest emerged as the winner! When asked about his secret, he humbly shared, “I prayed before playing the game, like how I pray before taking tests in school.”

It wasn’t just about games and fun. Superbook left a lasting impact on the young hearts as they gathered to watch the lesson-filled episode, “The Good Samaritan.” Through this story, they learned the powerful message of kindness and helping others, no matter their differences.

The crowd erupted with joy as Gizmo showed up on stage!

They sang and danced to “The Salvation Poem,” creating an atmosphere of celebration and praise. Gizmo’s heartfelt invitation to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior touched the children’s hearts and many responded with a resounding “Yes!”

As a token of appreciation, the children received Superbook gift bags, filled with treasures that would continue to inspire their faith journey. The bag included bread, chips, juice, a copy of “Book of Hope” and Superbook stickers.

And of course, who could miss the chance to capture a memorable photo with their beloved robot friend, Gizmo?

Once again, Superbook’sGizmo on the GO!” brought smiles, laughter, and life-changing moments to children and families. It’s a testament to the incredible impact Superbook has in sharing the love of Jesus and teaching valuable life lessons.

Mom Shares How Superbook Helped 2 Generations of Their Family Learn More about God

What is one thing from your childhood that you want to pass on to your kids?

For SuperMom Rosabelita, it’s the Bible lessons she got from watching Superbook back in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Rosabelita loved watching Superbook Classic and The Flying House when she was younger. Now, it’s her daughter Paula’s turn to join the fun Bible adventures of Chris, Joy, and Gizmo!

She doesn’t want Paula to just watch Superbook for fun without learning lessons from it. So, she decided to go on a Superbook journey once more–this time with her daughter!

The mother-and-daughter duo went to participate in a Gizmo on the GO! event in Robinsons Gapan, Nueva Ecija, last April. “Gizmo on the GO!” is a fun-filled event where kids can try different activities, play games, watch Superbook episodes, take a selfie with their favorite robot friend Gizmo, and more!

SuperMom Rosabelita proudly cheered for her daughter as Paula answered every question during Gizmo’s Lab, a quiz bee part of the show, with ease. She ended up being the winner, even taking home special prizes from Gizmo!

Rosabelita shared that Superbook’s visuals appeal to kids—encouraging them to learn about biblical lessons and good values. In fact, she noticed some similarities between Chris’ experience in the Superbook episode, He is Risen with that of her daughter.

“At first, Chris had a different attitude toward his mom. But after he went to Jesus’ time and then back to the present, his attitude toward his mother changed. That also happened with Paula,” she said, testifying on how Superbook helps her teach good values to her daughter.

The SuperMom also gave advice to other parents, “I hope that they will make time to watch Superbook together with their children, so they can explain life lessons from the show.”

Watching Superbook not only helps children understand Bible lessons better, but it also gives opportunities for parents and kids to bond. SuperParents can also use the Superbook Family Discussion Guide to help their learning time be more meaningful and productive!

James Reyes, Reverb Worship Unveil Inspirational Anthem of Faith “Sa’Yong Pangalan”

Rising balladeer James Reyes reminds listeners of the strength and hope found in the name of Jesus with his newest inspirational single, Sa’Yong Pangalan—out now on all digital streaming platforms worldwide!

Penned by the talented singer-songwriter Kikx Salazar and produced by Reverb Worship PH, Sa’Yong Pangalan encourages listeners to remain steadfast in their faith, even in the face of adversity. It serves as an anthem to draw closer to God—finding solace and victory by fully relying on His power.

“Reflecting on my own life, so many things happened, I had ups and downs. This song is a reminder for me to still thank God and pour out my feelings to Him, for He wants a relationship with us. We only need to come near to Him,” says James.

With a musical journey that spans from worship leading and commercial jingles, to vocal coaching and collaborating with renowned artists like Moira dela Torre, this new track is a testament to his versatility and dedication to his craft. James adds, “There is hope in every situation, in every circumstance in life. If you feel that no one hears you, nor understands you, the Lord is with you. Continue to talk to Him.”

Kikx echoes his sentiments and shares a defining moment in his career that birthed the song, “When I wrote Sa‘Yong Pangalan 10 years ago, that time I was really scared. I was asking God if I was making the right decision of leaving my band to become a full-time songwriter and music producer—one of those dark times when I was not sure where to go. With God’s blessing, I think I made the right decision. I allowed His plan to unfold, and I am thankful He did not leave me during those times—that’s basically how Sa‘Yong Pangalan was written.”

Dubbing the song “a prayer and a cry for help,” the songwriter invites listeners to dive into the compelling lyrics and heartfelt melody of Sa’Yong Pangalan, “If they’re going through tough times and they feel lost, hopefully, this song can bring light and hope. I encourage everyone to just call on God’s name.”

Meanwhile, CBN Asia’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer John Valdes Tan hopes that Reverb Worship’s newest release would inspire many to rely on God’s strength when they feel exhausted, powerless, defeated, or alone.

“This song reminds us that God is our shield. He never slumbers nor sleeps. All we need to do is to hold on to His name and trust Him. His name brings us hope and freedom, that’s why we pray “In His name”. May this song bring hope and joy to all who listen and hold on to His name.”

Stream Sa’Yong Pangalan by James Reyes and experience strength and hope. Follow Reverb Worship PH on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for more updates.

Operation Blessing Responds to Earthquake in Turkey

Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines, CBN Asia’s humanitarian arm, sent out a team of medical professionals to provide immediate medical assistance to the survivors of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Turkey that left more than 4,000 buildings destroyed and killed 50,000 plus people. They also sent a team of staff and volunteers to help in the disaster response.

As the Turkish communities still experience shock and trauma due to a series of earthquakes, Operation Blessing conducted psychosocial activities for the traumatized children, helping them to process their grief and trauma through holistic mental health program.

Moreover, the team also arrived in Hatay and traveled to the city center where many survivors benefited from its medical services. The survivors in the area were given food boxes, water, and were provided emotional and psychosocial support, especially to those who had already lost their loved ones.

‘We can start rebuilding our home’: OB helps fishermen’s families in Bohol 

Families of fishermen who suffered from Typhoon Odette received construction materials like GI sheets and plywood from CBN Asia’s humanitarian arm, Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines, last March 1 at Getafe, Bohol.  

Ebsel Bone, a fisherman’s wife, was one of the survivors when Typhoon Odette devastated their province in 2021. The aftermath of the typhoon left them with just the clothes on their backs as they immediately evacuated to Jandayan Elementary School.  

In the evacuation area, her family, together with other survivors, waited for help from the government.

“The government was quick to respond, providing us with a tarpaulin sheet to use as a roof,” Ebsel said.  

The family did not have enough money to build a proper roof for their home, they used the tarpaulin sheet as their roof for months. When the tarpaulin sheet leaked, the family adjusted their sleeping positions to avoid getting wet by the pouring rain.  

It was a good thing that Operation Blessing went to their community and chose Ebsel’s family as one of its beneficiaries for their disaster response project.

“Finally, we can start rebuilding our home, where we can feel safe and secure. Thank you, Operation Blessing!” said Ebsel.  

In partnership with the 702nd CDC, 7RCDG, Reserve Command, 47th Katapatan Infantry Battalion, Tagbilaran City’s local government unit, and the Bohol Evangelical Pastors Association, Operation Blessing gave construction materials for the fishermen’s families and other survivors in Bohol so that they can build their homes and start anew.
