Sangamdong Work And Witness Team Visits WMC

Thirty-two Work & Witness delegates from Sangamdong Church of the Nazarene in South Korea came to visit WMC Studios earlier this Summer as part of their official schedule for the day.

Assistant Professor Kwon Dong Hwan, Director of the Fairbanks School of Communication (FSC)  at Asia Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary (APNTS), who also happens to be a member of the same church, had the privilege of touring his pastors and church mates around WMC’s media facility. Sangamdong Church is special to WMC as a partner in ministry because they helped equip the main control room of our new media center before its operation began in 2004. Computers and digital recording machines were acquired through their generous monetary gift. So the tour was also meaningful to them as they were able to see the fruits of their generosity.  Our staff gladly auditioned some sample radio programs, ministry videos and audio projects produced at WMC, and also presented each member with small  souvenirs as tokens of gratitude for their visit and support.

Work & Witness Director for Asia Pacific, Greg Taylor also gave the group a short orientation inside the WMC studio about the APNTS housing project and other general guidelines for teams to be reminded of during their stay in the Philippines. Mr. Taylor expressed that due to the challenge in verbal communication, a simple “smile” can be a powerful witness.

The team was in the Philippines as part of the construction and repair project for the resident families of professors at APNTS.

In addition, the Sangamdong team was able to participate in an evangelistic event at a depressed area in Payatas, a former dumpsite in Quezon City, wherein the Church of Nazarene has an existing ministry headed by Pastor Gomez. While there, the team gave relief goods to the needy in the area, assisted by some of our MACC (Master in Christian Communication) students.
