The conference, which is being held at an undisclosed city in Thailand,  has brought together more than 300 people involved in media ministry from literally around the world.

“Not only is this an exciting opportunity to participate in cutting edge media training, but it is also an opportunity to network with others who are passionate about sharing the gospel through media,” said Todd Aebischer, Asia-Pacific Regional Communications Coordinator.

The members of the WMC-AP team are participating in training tracks and seminars that include among other topics, orality, culturally relevant media, video and web design, mobile application design, effective story telling through art, film, and animation, digital publishing and the global paradigm shift, and using technology securely in an insecure world.

“Our hope is that as we develop field communications personnel across the region, the annual EMDC conference will become an integral part of the intentional development of media leaders within the church,” stated Aebischer.

Your prayers are appreciated as the team members will be traveling to and from Thailand.
