Hope Channel began broadcasting in North America in 2003. Today, Hope Channel is a global network with more than 80 channels broadcasting in over 100 languages.

At the heart of this initiative was a strategic billboard placement in the iconic Times Square in New York City. Positioned where an average of 330,000 people pass through daily, this strategic move amplifies Hope Channel’s reach to millions from diverse backgrounds.

Jesus quoted the following passage from Isaiah 61:1, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me; Because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted.” (NKJV).

Through this campaign in Times Square, New York City and all the different TV programs being shown 24/7, Hope Channel is truly preaching the good news to all the world. North American Division Stewardship Ministries
