CONTENT CREATION TRAINING - PHASE 1

Equipping Communicators for Mission in the Digital Age

The Morobe Mission Communication & Media Department is pleased to announce the upcoming Communication Training Phase 1, scheduled from 31 August to 5 September 2026 at 2 Mile Seventh-day Adventist Church, Lae.

This week-long training is designed to equip church communicators, pastors, media ministry teams, and church-approved individuals with practical skills and knowledge needed to effectively communicate the gospel in today's rapidly evolving digital environment.

The training will also coincide with the official launch of the South Pacific Division's OneVoice27 initiative and Prayer Vigil, creating a unique opportunity for participants to combine professional communication training with spiritual empowerment and mission-focused engagement.

Why This Training Matters

This training aims to develop a new generation of communication leaders who can confidently support local church ministries through storytelling, media production, branding, technology, and digital engagement.

Participants will gain practical, hands-on experience in various areas of church communication and media ministry that can be immediately applied within local church settings.
