Church organizes media for outreach

Media ministry can play a vital role in spreading the mission of the church. The Communication Department for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Myanmar (MYUM) took this as a challenge and designed a program to enhance the skills of its field directors, institutional media enthusiasts, and Adventist World Radio (AWR) team members.

On May 21, 23, and 24, 12 of these enthusiasts were attentive participants of a video and documentation seminar and workshop hosted by MYUM engaging the services of Ko Yoe, an international award-winning movie director

At the end of the training, the participants formed themselves to a media production team to commence a video magazine project in order to effectively communicate the gospel to the unreached people of Myanmar.

“This is the first step of involving ourselves through the media ministry in this getting highly sophisticated society” said by Maung Maung Myo Chan, MYUM communication director. [AND staff]
