Comments Posted on May 30, 2011 Posted by Esther James

ACTS 25, for those who are familiar with Trinidad and Tobago's local programming, is synonymous with the Christian community for its positive and practical programming with the family in mind. They have defined themselves as being 'family, community and inspiration', and over the years have held true to just that.

Since the channel's launch in 2005, they have had a significant offering in the sphere of Gospel; including the spoken Word, sports, music and entertainment, various classical sitcoms, programming based on youth empowerment, and health.

After six years of solid contribution, they have launched ‘a new phase'. On May 28th at the Trinidad Hilton, all was revealed as to the plans that will be implemented to achieve this. Hosted by the new Board Chairman Dr. Asaf Pirali, and CEO/Founder Nelson Sammy-Guilarte, it was an exciting event at which the Christian community was invited to participate and lend support.

For their dinner event at the Hilton, their objective was to educate and continue to network both old and new stakeholders. The event began with a warm welcome from Grace who also led in worship for the evening. It wasn't long after that Station Manager, Rodney Sammy-Guilarte spoke on the benefits and future goals of the channel.

Next new Chairman Dr. Assaf Pirali spoke of the new strategies to restructure and improve ACTS25. With the use of multimedia presentations, the audience was attentive and gleaned from the much information that was offered.

Pastor Nelson Sammy-Guilarte, CEO and founder of ACTS 25, spoke on the collaboration between Dr. Pirali and himself to bring the network to a new horizon. He shared intimate moments with patrons of the history of their humble beginnings from a onetime Christmas event, to regular and daily programming and the employees that they have had over time.

The evening's entertainment included renowned Panist Kelvin Herbert, all male group Men On Fire and a lovely dance by Anna Flemming of Open Bible dance Group. Attendees included members of both ministries, Living Word Christian Centre Church and House Of Praise , close business partners, pastors and friends of both families.

The evening was well catered for over 250 guests and was both celebratory and classy. With the dawn of a new day for the station, we at GospelGlobe.com anticipate much more for the network and for you its faithful viewers.
