HopeTV.org now LIVE!

ATN officially launched the new Hope Channel website today, February 25, 2004. This new website will be the place to find out what's on, what's new, and what's happening with Hope Channel. Not only will viewers access the current broadcast schedule; HopeTV.org has a number of excellent features including a gospel presentation under "Find Hope Today" for individuals who may not know Jesus. In fact, the whole site is designed with a special thought for Hope Channel viewers who may not be Seventh-day Adventist church members.

Centered on the home page is the Current Features, where current Hope Channel programmes are showcased. These will change each time you visit the site or click your "refresh" button. Here you will find featured some of the programmes currently airing on Hope Channel. Premiers of new Hope Channel programming will also be featured as each new programme debuts.

Currently the "Products" section features the Satellite Installation package for North America viewers. In just a few days, a brand new feature will be in the bottom left corner on the homepage. Each month, Hope Channel will offer a special book which you will be able to order on-line and have the featured book sent to you anywhere in the world! Watch for this new addition to the website.

Why not start your day with hope and spend a few minutes reading "On Solid Ground"? Click on Today's Devotional for the daily message from the 2004 Devotional book by Pastor Mark Finley. At any time you may email any page to a friend or even print it off if you wish.

Would you like to send a prayer request or comment to be broadcast on Hope Channel? Go to the Contact Us page and you may easily type your question, comment or prayer request. We want to hear from you and each week new comments and prayer requests submitted by viewers will air. Take a moment to read the Press Releases under Current News. Do you have an interesting story about Hope Channel developments in your part of the world? Send us a story or Press Release and it may be shared in this section.

For now Hope Channel is using PayPal to securely process credit card donations. Don't forget to take a moment and sign-up for the new Hope Channel newsletter.

For those of you familiar with the www.adventist.tv website, this site will continue but with a focus on the corporate activities of ATN. All of us at ATN invite your prayers as we continue to press ahead with Hope Channel developments. Thank you for your interest and support.
