The School of Mission Communication being offered by the YWAM International Communication Network in Denver Colorado later this year really excites me with the possibilities. I’ve written before about the importance of telling our stories in YWAM and have talked about it a lot on the YWAM Podcast as well. This school looks like a great way for people called to be “Missions Communicators” to get started.
Lynn Green, one of YWAM’s elders and a veteran of 42 years in Youth With A Mission, has this invitation for people to get involved in this school:
The School of Mission Communication will be covering many different topics, including:
- Writing
- Photography
- Design
- Campaigns
- Video
- New Media
- more…
The training will be presented from a mission context, rather than a journalistic, entertainment or business context. Unless you are in the field it’s hard to appreciate the difference, but this course should do well in helping missions communicators to present their stories in ways that will have the greatest impact with their audience.
After the three months of classroom training the students will have the opportunity to join of YWAM’s Regional Communication Teams for 3 – 6 months, or other communication initiatives around the world.
You can find out more about this great new school for mission communicators on the YWAM ICN web-site.
I am in tears when I read this, so good, so true, so on Gods heart and so on mine, I just can’t see myself doing it this year. Pray it will happen again. Bless you!
There is so much good and inspiring media in English. I wish so much for all that good knowledge and inspiration to be able to be produced in other languages as well. I’m sure, for the small country we work in, that would take local Christians to catch the vision and get the training they need to produce life-changing material in their own country’s language. Praying for the multiplication to happen FAST so the less missions-minded countries can also be inspired, in their own languages, to the greatest Commission in the world.
