As I begin to tell people that I am going to be a communication specialist, I am often met with many questioning looks. I honestly had no idea what a mission communication specialist position entailed until I met the communication specialist for Latin America last August.
As a communication specialist, I will be making videos and writing about the mission projects, in my case, throughout the Asia field. I will travel a fair amount visiting the project sites to record video, take photos and gather information about both the people and the projects.
After my visit, I will go back to my apartment in Hong Kong and begin working on editing the videos and writing. Once the videos are finished they will be posted YouTube and my blog. Some of the videos may be distributed to partner churches in American and Asia.
Each project will be a new challenge. It will interesting to see how God is working at all of the different mission projects. Asia is a large and diverse field and I am looking forward to learning more about the different cultures.
I will actually have the opportunity to work on a few projects when I go to Panama in May to visit the Latin America communication specialist. It will be a blessing to have a better understanding of what I will be doing before I even go to LCMS World Mission training the first two weeks in June.
Once I arrive in Hong Kong, hopefully by October, I will have the opportunity to work the current communication specialist in Asia until December. This will be great preparation before I set off on my own.
