Hope Channel - 'Ministry in Motion' program supports pastors

Jul 06, 2012

A new Hope Channel program is ministering to the needs of pastors and other church leaders. Carmen McMurdy has this week’s update from the church’s official television network.

Your local pastor ministers to everyone, but who ministers to your minister?

Well Hope Channel is doing exactly that.

A new program called "Ministry in Motion" is starting this month on Hope Channel.

The show is hosted by Derek Morris -- Host of "Hope Sabbath School and editor of Ministry Magazine.

While the primary focus of the program is the needs of pastors and those in church leadership, anyone with an interest in doing ministry will enjoy the show.

Topics include leadership problems, protecting the marriage from ministry stresses, avoiding burnout, effective preaching and Bible study.

"Ministry in Motion" airs Mondays at 8:30 AM Eastern and Tuesday and Fridays at 2pm Eastern time on Hope Channel's North America feed.

You've heard about the 13 separate Hope Channels available over the air around the world, but have you heard of Hope Channel Poland, Hope Channel Indonesia, Hope Channel Italy, Hope Channel Hungary, Hope Channel Philippines?

These five new channels are internet channels that are joining the Hope Channel family.

They join other the internet channels Hope Channel Norway, Hope Channel Czech, Hope Channel Bulgaria, and Hope Channel Ukraine.

Some of these channels will become regular satellite channels by the end of the year, but only after they have produced at least 1500 programs and meet stringent criteria in production values and financial stability.

Hope Channel continues to grow explosively around the world.

Stayed tuned in the coming months for even more exciting news about how Hope Channel is taking the everlasting gospel around the world!

For Hope Channel, I'm Carmen McMurdy!
