"Hope VA" is a virtual assistant who offers a range of Bible studies to any student who sends her a message with the words 'Bible study". Hope VA is promoted online by Adventist Media, and supported behind the scenes by AdTec. The exciting part of this project is the ability to see connections being made in real time, as we are now able to track attendees from their first connection through to their studies with Hope VA. Already she has become the most active evangelist in PNG already, with around 1000 students engaging with her on WhatsApp at any one time.
Recently Hope VA was expanded to the Messenger platform which is being trialled by across the TPUM in 2025. In recent months we have begun a collaboration with the South East Asian Division (SSD) and are planning a rollout (in English) across the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, with local translations to follow soon after.
