Light of the World, a new animated film about the life of Jesus, is set to light up Philippine cinemas this December 10. Produced by The Salvation Poem Project and brought to local theatres by CBN Asia, the 2D feature takes the viewers back to 30 AD and retells Christ’s story through the eyes of His youngest apostle, John.

Following its international releases, Light of the World now reaches Filipino audiences—bringing to life the miracles of Jesus and His journey through crucifixion and resurrection. With stunning animation and heartfelt storytelling, the movie offers a fresh and deeply personal perspective on the gospel narrative.

“This film’s story is intensely personal to us because it shows how Jesus can change the lives of broken people like you and me,” says Producer and The Salvation Poem Project President Brennan McPherson. “We see this as more than entertainment—it’s a worldwide mission delivered through the medium of classic animation.”

This groundbreaking film is directed by John J. Schafer, known for his work on the beloved children’s Bible animation Superbook. Schafer is joined by Tom Bancroft, celebrated for his animation work on Disney classics such as Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Mulan, as well as by Tony Bancroft, the animation director who has worked on Mulan, Mary Poppins Returns, and Space Jam: A New Legacy.

For CBN Asia EVP-COO John Tan, the movie offers children an entertaining way to learn about Jesus—an experience that can deeply influence their lives, “Studies show that kids ages 4 to 14 are in a critical period for spiritual development and openness to the gospel. I hope parents won’t miss the chance to bring the whole family to see a film of such quality and significance.”

Light of the World is also open for block screenings, offering families, churches, schools, and organizations an opportunity to experience the story of Jesus together.

You Can Help Restart Someone’s Life with Operation Blessing

Posted on by Jeaneth Panti | Leave a Comment on You Can Help Restart Someone’s Life with Operation Blessing

When natural disasters come and lives are greatly affected, we can’t help but hope for a quick and easy restart button.

Homes destroyed and livelihoods wiped out – this is what the citizens of Noveleta, Cavite had to endure when their area was hit by the recent Typhoon Crising worsened by the southwest monsoon.

Life is already hard for most of the residents, and it is as if the typhoon kept them from moving forward, leaving them jobless, with damaged belongings, and little food.

Such is true for Lauro, who lost his ability to walk since 2016. Alone and unable to work because of his condition, he often goes hungry—eating only once a week, or when a kind neighbor gives him food.

Meanwhile, single mother Mary Ann feared for the lives of her children and hoped for their safety when the strong winds blew their home.

Another resident, Gina, whose income comes from selling tuyo (dried fish) was greatly affected when her products were rained over and could no longer be sold. Aside from the income that her family needs, she also worries about the debts she has to pay.

With situations like these, one might ask, “How else can I stand up and face life again?”

This is the part where God’s light shines in the dark. While life’s trials are inevitable, God gives the assurance that He is always with us even in the middle of our storms.

He made a promise in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

This promise came alive for the residents of Noveleta, as they experienced God’s help through Operation Blessing.

Not even the flooded areas hindered CBN Asia’s humanitarian arm from delivering relief items to affected families. The beneficiaries, including Lauro, Mary Ann, and Gina received food packs that contains rice, canned goods, noodles – enough to sustain a family for a week as they recover from the calamity.

More than the material blessings, Operation Blessing shared the gift of hope by praying for the beneficiaries and giving them Bibles.

These would not have been possible if it weren’t for faithful donors like you. Your continuous support sustains Operation Blessing’s One Step Ahead Campaign.

We will continue to bring God’s hope to families in need as you partner with us today! Click the link to know how you can give: www.cbnasia.com/give.

God’s Grace Can Turn Your Trials into Triumphs

Posted on by Jeaneth Panti | Leave a Comment on God’s Grace Can Turn Your Trials into Triumphs

Life often tests us when we least expect it––financial struggles, sudden job loss, loss of loved ones, or health battles.

Yet sometimes, it is in the breaking that God begins His greatest work!

If you’re struggling right now, let Grace Muco’s story inspire you to persevere in faith despite all the trials.

Grace Muco, a sari-sari store owner from Pampanga, started her small business with just Php 10,000 that she borrowed when her husband got sick.

Life was not easy for her. She had to raise her children while struggling financially and facing doubts from people around her. But Grace worked hard every day.

Her challenges didn’t stop there. She later suffered from a mild stroke, which left her physically weak. In that moment of desperation, she cried out to God for help.

“Lord, please help me carry my burdens because it’s too heavy to bear,” Grace desperately prayed.

Until one night, she came across The 700 Club Asia on television. She was touched by the real stories of people whose lives were changed by God.

Moved by what she heard, she started donating to the ministry. She even encouraged her son, Kuya Bro, to do the same.

“The first amount I gave was Php 500. Then, I encouraged my son to do the same,” she recalled.

When the pandemic hit, Grace stopped sending her donations but kept saving them in a container she labeled “The 700 Club Asia”. She continued setting aside her tithes and offerings faithfully.

Years later, while cleaning their home, Grace’s husband found two bags of money. Not long after, Kuya Bro discovered bundles of cash hidden in a cabinet—the tithes and offerings Grace saved during the pandemic.

When Kuya Bro posted a video of the discovery online, it went viral, which inspired many people.

“I thought, why not record it on video since it’s not something that happens normally,” he shared.

Today, the small sari-sari store that started with borrowed money has grown into a successful business. Grace and her family can now bless others beyond tithes and offerings.

“We cannot do this on our own. God know or heart’s desires, and apart from Him, we are nothing,” her son shared.

Are you going through trials right now?

Don’t worry, you are not standing alone. God is inviting you to lean on His grace, because His grace is enough, and it will meet you right where you are.

We are here to pray for you. Call the CBN Asia Prayer Center at 8737-0700 or send us a message on Facebook.

5 Ways to Show God’s Love to the LGBT Community

Posted on by Jim Reyes | Leave a Comment on 5 Ways to Show God’s Love to the LGBT Community

Pride Month often brings mixed feelings for many Christians. Some may feel unsure about how to respond, especially with the celebration of LGBT community. But as believers, the calling to love others remains constant, regardless of their background or identity.  

How can Christians share God’s love with the LGBT community in a way that is respectful and true to the Gospel? Here are five ways to show God’s love:

1. Show compassion and respect to the LGBT community

The foundation of sharing God’s love lies in compassion and respect. People in the LGBT community, like everyone else, face struggles and challenges that can make them feel marginalized.  

How can you offer kindness and understanding instead of judgment?  

By approaching them with empathy, you reflect the heart of Christ. Jesus himself displayed immense compassion towards those society often overlooked.  

As it’s written in 1 Peter 3:8 (NIV), “Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.”

2. Live out God’s love in actions

Actions often speak louder than words. Demonstrating God’s love through kindness will draw others closer to Him. How can acts of service and compassion create an opportunity for God’s love to shine? Acts of kindness break barriers and offer a tangible display of God’s love.  

Matthew 5:16 (NIV) reminds us, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” When love is shown through deeds, it reveals God’s nature in a powerful way.

3. Speak the truth in love with the LGBT community

Speaking the truth in love is about sharing God’s Word while showing compassion and respect. It’s not about compromising God’s truth but presenting it in a way that is compassionate, that invites understanding and fosters relationship. 

How can truth be shared in a way that builds trust and invites conversation? 

  • Approach with humility and gentleness
    God’s truth is powerful, but it is also gentle and compassionate. When sharing God’s truth, it’s important to humble ourselves, acknowledging that we too are imperfect. 

Galatians 6:1 (NIV) teaches us: “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.” 

Instead of approaching the conversation with a “better-than-you” attitude, we should share truth with the understanding that we all need God’s grace. 

  • Listen first, then speak
    Often, the best way to speak the truth in love is to listen to someone’s story first. By listening, we build rapport and show that we care about their thoughts and experiences. 

James 1:19 (NIV) reminds us: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” 

After listening, we can then share the truth with a heart that seeks understanding and compassion, rather than judgment. 

  • Use Scripture to guide, not condemn
    When speaking God’s truth, it’s important to use Scripture in a way that encourages, not condemns.  

Ephesians 4:29 (NIV) urges us: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” 

Instead of using Scripture to criticize, we should share the word of God in a way that uplifts, offering the hope that comes from God’s truth. For example, if discussing issues of identity, speak about God’s love for all people, including His desire for everyone to know their true identity in Christ (Romans 8:16-17, NIV). 

Speaking the truth without love can cause division, but when truth is shared with love, it opens the door for meaningful conversations and relationships rooted in respect and understanding.

4. Acknowledge and validate their struggles

The LGBT community faces rejection, discrimination, and a lack of understanding. How can you be an empathetic listener, acknowledging their pain and struggles without judgment?  

Validating their experiences offers a supportive presence that reflects the love of Christ.  

Romans 12:15 (NIV) says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” By offering empathy and understanding, you can be a safe and compassionate friend who meets others where they are.

5. Offer prayer and support

Prayer is a powerful means of bringing comfort and healing. Offering to pray for or with someone shows care and invites God’s presence into their life.  

How can prayer be a tool for healing in difficult situations?  

Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) encourages, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  

Through prayer, God’s peace can touch lives in profound ways. 

Pride Month offers an opportunity for Christians to demonstrate Christ’s love to everyone, including the LGBT community. By showing compassion, living out love through actions, speaking the truth in love, acknowledging their struggles, and offering prayer, one can be a beacon of God’s grace.  

As 1 John 4:7 (NIV) reminds, “Let us love one another, for love comes from God.”  

May love guide each step, bringing others closer to Jesus. If prayers or support are needed, reach out to a trusted Christian community or Prayer Center for help, allowing God’s love to heal and guide. 

If you’re looking to make an even greater impact, consider partnering with CBN Asia. Together, we can reach more people, share God’s love, and offer hope to those who need it most. Let’s work together to bring healing and understanding to the LGBT community and beyond!

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.

5 Ways to Support a Child Struggling with Depression

Posted on by Jim Reyes | Leave a Comment on 5 Ways to Support a Child Struggling with Depression

Is there a child in your life who struggles with depression?

Supporting a child through depression isn’t easy, but your presence, patience, and prayers can be a lifeline. Here are five practical ways to reflect God’s comfort and help them feel seen, safe, and supported:

1. Listen without rushing to fix

One of the greatest gifts you can give is a listening ear. Children, especially when hurting, may struggle to put their feelings into words. Resist the urge to jump in with advice or quick solutions. Simply be present. Let them know it’s okay to feel sad, and that you are there to listen, no matter what.

James 1:19 (NLT) reminds us: “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.”

2. Pray for them, pray with them

Prayer is powerful.

You can model what it looks like to bring our burdens before God. Pray for peace over their heart, for clarity in their mind, and for the assurance that they are not alone.

Psalm 34:18 (NLT) tells us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Encourage them to talk to God in their own way too, even if it’s just a simple, honest prayer.

3. Affirm their worth and identity in Christ

Depression can distort a child’s sense of self. Regularly remind them of their true identity in God, that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, deeply loved, and never alone in their struggles.

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14, NIV)

4. Watch for warning signs and seek help when needed

While faith anchors us, God also provides wisdom through professionals. Notice unusual behaviors and signs like withdrawal, changes in sleep or appetite, or any mention of self-harm. Seeking help from a counselor or doctor is an act of love and stewardship, not a lack of faith.

“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” (Proverbs 11:14, ESV)

5. Model hope and patience

Children learn by example. Let them see hope in action, even when challenges arise. Healing is often a process, but God’s timing is always perfect. Romans 12:12 (NIV) encourages us to “be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

Supporting a child through depression is not easy, but with God’s help, you can be a source of light and love in their darkest moments. Trust that He is working, even when you can’t see it, and continue to lift them up in prayer.

3 Lessons from How Jesus Handled His Emotions

Posted on by Jim Reyes | Leave a Comment on 3 Lessons from How Jesus Handled His Emotions

Everyone goes through moments of deep emotions, especially in difficult times. Even Jesus, fully God and fully human, faced intense feelings.  

One of the clearest examples is in Luke 22, where He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before His crucifixion. His example shows a wise and better way to respond to emotional struggles. 

1. Jesus expressed His feelings to the Heavenly Father

Luke 22:41-44 (NIV) tells how Jesus stepped away from His disciples, knelt down, and prayed. 

“He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, ‘“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.’” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” 

The Bible describes His deep sorrow, saying His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. He did not keep His pain inside. He openly shared His distress with His Father in heaven. 

This scene teaches that bringing every emotion to God is not only acceptable but also necessary.   

Faith does not mean hiding sadness, fear, or anxiety. Even Jesus, in His perfect obedience, chose to be completely honest in prayer. 

2. Jesus gave His desires to God

Jesus also laid His desires before God. He prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me” (Luke 22:42, NIV). His request was clear: He asked to be spared from the suffering that was coming. This was a natural, human desire. 

God welcomes honest requests. Whether the heart longs for healing, relief, or guidance, it is right to bring those desires to Him. Prayer is not only a way to express feelings but also a place to present personal hopes, trusting that God hears every word. 

3. Jesus trusted God’s plans

Most importantly, Jesus trusted His Father’s will. Right after asking to be spared, He prayed, “Yet not my will, but yours be done” (Luke 22:42, NIV).  

This surrender shows deep trust. Jesus accepted that God’s plan, though painful, was good and necessary. 

Trusting God’s plan does not remove hardship, but it brings strength. After Jesus prayed, Apostle Luke writes that an angel appeared and strengthened Him (Luke 22:43, NIV). His prayer led to renewed courage, even in the face of betrayal, suffering, and death.

Jesus’ example in Gethsemane offers a clear pattern: express feelings honestly, present desires openly, and trust God’s perfect will. Handling emotions well does not mean avoiding pain but facing it with faith. When emotions run deep and trials feel heavy, Jesus’ way provides peace and strength for every step.

Operation Blessing Helps Altadena Fire Survivor Rebuild After Devastating Loss

Posted on by Jim Reyes | Leave a Comment on Operation Blessing Helps Altadena Fire Survivor Rebuild After Devastating Loss

Brian Knowles, a resident of Altadena, California, lost everything when a devastating wildfire swept through his neighborhood. The fire destroyed his family’s home—a house his late mother had built and filled with memories. 

Fires had threatened the area before, but they never reached the homes below the mountain. This time was different. 

“I saw embers flying down the driveway,” Brian recalled. “I turned and looked at my son sleeping on the bed. And I said, ‘We’re out of here.’” 

At first, he thought the evacuation would last only a few days. But when he returned, there was nothing left. The fire had taken not just his home, but all the tools he used for work as a water restoration specialist and high school track coach. 

“My water extractor, dehumidifiers, air filters, and timing system. All of it was gone,” he said. 

Despite the loss, Brian’s spirit remained strong. He credits his resilience to his mother, who was not only a parent but also his coach when he was young. Her words and example taught him to face hardship with determination. 

“You better get up. Ain’t no quitting here,” he said “Of course, there are things you’ll never get back, but you still have your memories.” 

Operation Blessing stepped in to support Brian during this difficult time. The organization provided him with essential tools to restart his water restoration work and ordered a new timing system so he could continue coaching. 

Gordon Robertson, who joined the Operation Blessing team in Los Angeles, said, “Behind me are all the tools he’s going to need to get his plumbing business restored… so he can get back coaching track.” 

He added, “If you’ve given to the Operation Blessing Disaster Relief Fund, you’re part of this. You’re part of feeding them, and for families just like Brian, you’re helping them get back on their feet with very tangible help.” 

Brian expressed deep gratitude for the support. “It’s a true blessing. The overwhelming support, it’s just amazing.” 

The Altadena community is determined to rebuild, and with help from organizations like Operation Blessing, residents like Brian are finding hope and strength to start over. 

You can help families like Brian’s recover and rebuild. Partner with us today to bring relief, hope, and the tools to start again.
