COMUNICACION ABIERTA PARA LLEGAR A TODOS/OPEN COMMUNICATION TO REACH EVERYONE

SPANISH FIRST, ENGLISH BELOW
El Pasado sábado 3 de mayo tuve la oportunidad de compartir la mesa de panelistas del primer foro de comunicación cristiano, organizado por ADOCOC, la asociación Dominicana de Comunicadores Cristianos. Fue un privilegio para mi anteceder exponiendo sobre “Comunicación Abierta para llegar a todos” al hermano Stan Jeter, actualmente director de Mundo Cristiano TV, parte de CBN, y uno de los miembros fundadores de COICOM. El hermano Jeter es hijo de misioneros, nacido en Cuba y residente en diversas naciones a lo largo de los años. Para los que han escuchado “Cruzada con Luís Palau” por muchos años la voz de Atan Jeter concluía dicho programa con el verso bíblico del Sermón del Monte: “Felices los de corazón limpio, pues ellos verán a Dios” Algo que no puedo dejar de mencionar, es que al final de la actividad, cuando nos tomamos esta fotografía, el hermano Atan me dijo que él, siendo niño, junto a sus padres, residieron en Tánger, Marruecos, en el mismo tiempo que RTM iniciaba las transmisiones de “La Voz de Tánger” que marcó el inicio de la gran historia de la radio misionera que es hoy Radio Trans Mundial. ¡Qué emoción para mí recibir ese testimonio!.
