Charbel Raish - Celebrating 20 Years of Parousia. Parousia Fundraising Dinner Speech - Aug 29, 2025

Join founder Charbel Raish as he celebrates a monumental milestone: 20 Years of Parousia Media! In this moving address, from the Parousia Fundraising Dinner in August 2025, Charbel takes us back to the very beginning—from a moment of questioning his faith at St. Michael's Belfield to the life-changing discovery of Scott Hahn on cassette tapes. Watch as he recounts the incredible journey of Parousia, from "Version 1.0" packing CDs at the dining table with his mother, to the global explosion of "Version 3.0," reaching over 70 million people across social media in the last year alone. A milestone which by the end of 2025 had reached close to 90 million. In this video, Charbel reveals: The miraculous encounters and key people who made Parousia possible. How the ministry pivoted from physical CDs to a digital powerhouse. Sneak Peeks of New Originals: Get a first look at upcoming series like The Hot Seat, The Real Presence: Eucharistic Miracles, and the Parousia Kids Youtube Channel. As Charbel says, the world is hungry for the truth, and we are ready to ramp up our content to reach them.
