During the last few months, communication projects which reflect collaboration among different entities and individuals in our church around the world has been growing.
One of these examples was the production of the television program Global Youth Day, held March 15, 2014, via satellite and online during 24 continuous hours. The historic event took place using low cost technology and was possible thanks to the coordination of the different media centers. Some like Romania, Brazil and Germany transmitted from their large television studios. Others like Oakwood University in the United States, and Newbold College in England, adapted their institution’s churches and turned them into small production centers. The master control for Inter-America was set in the conference room of the Central Mexican Union in Mexico City, and the connections from our territory were received from small and medium size studios, while some also connected from offices via Skype.
This project has been a watershed in the use of technology in the church where creativity and collaboration with leading tools have been more than the medium to share the message of service to the community.
