Missions and operations

CBN Asia is involved in several ministries that spread the Gospel in Asian nations, primarily through The 700 Club Asia, a locally produced weeknight television program, as well as other TV specials.

Its ministries include the humanitarian aid foundation Operation Blessing (OB), [1] the Asian counterpart of the US-based Operation Blessing International. Since 1994, OB humanitarian missions have expanded from the Philippines to operate in China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan. In 1996, OB became the humanitarian arm of CBN Asia, Inc., which was founded by Gordon P. Robertson. [2]

CBN Asia also participates in the Asian Center for Missions project, an Asia-wide network for spreading the Gospel, which also comprises the Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM), the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC), the Asian Seminary of Christian Ministries (ASCM), the International Bible Society, and other Asian church and fellowship groups.
