Hope Channel Papua New Guinea was officially launched on Monday in Port Moresby at the Papua New Guinea Union Mission 17th business session.
Hope Channel South Pacific director Pastor Wayne Boehm launched the TV station and encouraged delegates to use it as tool for evangelism.
Hope Channel PNG is broadcasting on Channel 7 on the National Broadcasting Corporation digital platform across the country.
PNGUM Communication director Jacqueline Wari thanked SPD’s Adventist Media chief executive officer Dr Brad Kemp and the team for the work done in establishing the TV station.
Mrs Wari also acknowledged Pastor Boehm, New Zealand Pacific Union Conference Media and Communication General Manager Ole Pederson, former PNGUM Communication director Pastor Andrew Opis and teams across the Pacific region for their contributions.
Pastor Opis offered a dedicatory prayer to launch the station.
Hope Channel PNG went live on air on June 24 with a locally-created playlist. The channel broadcasts a mix of local, regional and international programs, including a growing selection of content from Hope Channel PNG and Hope Channel New Zealand.
There are spirit-filled, educational and inspiring programs now reaching homes in Papua New Guinea, inspiring viewers to live, love and learn.
Meanwhile, Pastor Boehm encouraged the church in PNG to embrace television and be part of an important project—Project Hope 2026—where more than 400 local programs will be created during a three-week intensive filming block in January 2026.
The programs will be aired on Hope Channel PNG providing the channel with local content to supplement the international broadcast.
