Miranda is currently visiting YWAM in Perth, Western Australia, where staff and leaders from around the country are gathering for their national conference. She is there with Sugi, coordinator of AspaCom, the Com Team for YWAM Asia/Pacific, of which Australia is a vibrant part.
There are many skillful communicators working as part of YWAM Australia. Some of the campuses have their own communication or media teams, or ministries like Create International who use media to spread the message of Jesus. The goal of this visit is to connect with as many of these people as possible, to let them know what is going on in the YWAM world in the area of communication, and to invite them to come to the communication consultation in Thailand next March.
Regular followers of this blog will know that CRIT, our annual consultation for YWAM communication staff, has become an engine for communication development for the YWAM region in which it is held. Asia/Pacific is a very diverse region and we currently have a handful of communicators working in various locations. We hope that as a result of the 2010 event we will mobilize more people into regional Com Teams as well as creating a network of trained people who can more effectively serve the needs of the mission in this part of the world.
YWAMers in Australia are well-placed to be a part of this initiative ... Miranda and Sugi are meeting with them in Perth to make sure that happens!
