Our Story

Throughout the initial years, the VOP (AMC) was ahead of its time in reaching places where people couldn’t go. Often when evangelists entered hitherto unentered areas in the Southern Asia Division for the first time, they would find VOP graduates already familiar with the gospel. Both radio and the correspondence courses were very effective.

As technology advanced, the ACC (AMC) invested in renovations and new equipment to keep pace with the changing world.

More recently the AMC also invested in training its staff members. Two people from SUD were sent to the Video Production Studio Training conducted by AGCN at Miami, Florida, USA July 12-21, 1999, to improve the quality of programs coming out of AMC. Those who attended were Ravindra Sunder Rao, technician, AMC and John Rajagopal, producer, “Last Call.”40

Social Media has changed much of the way people communicate. In keeping with that, an app was created in 2016 by Elvin Jackson and Jacob Kunthara from GOAL ministries to help the radio programs reach more people. It was programmed to be available in 15 different languages.41

In order to continue to be relevant in the future, the Adventist Media Centre must carry on using the most up-to-date forms of media for communication, as it has throughout the years.
