JONAS ARRAIS (JA): TELL US ABOUT THE EXCITING TV PROGRAM CALLED MINISTRYINMOTION.
Anthony Kent (AK): MINISTRYinMOTION is new! It was launched this summer on the Hope Channel. It’s a program sponsored by the General Conference Ministerial Association where we explore best practices for ministry in the 21st century. This program is of special interest to elders since we discuss issues that are very relevant for church leaders.
JA: WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THIS NEW PROGRAM?
Derek Morris (DM): MINISTRYinMOTION is a 30-minute interview with one or two guests who have special expertise in a particular area of ministry. The programs are fresh and practical. Anthony and I have been blessed as we have met with our special guests. One of the really exciting aspects of the program is that it is not a monologue but more like a journey of discovery. In each program we explore with gifted practitioners critical issues like the “how” of ministry and “making a difference” in ministry.
JA: HOW CAN READERS OF ELDER’S DIGEST ACCESS THESE EXCITING PROGRAMS?
AK: MINISTRYinMOTION is broadcast four times per week in North America on DIRECTV 368 (Hope Channel):
Monday 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time

You are also able to watch programs at any time and without charge on our website. Our web address is www.MINISTRYinMOTION.TV.
JA: WHAT ARE SOME TOPICS OF INTEREST TO OUR READERS THAT YOU’LL BE DISCUSSING WITH SPECIAL GUESTS ON MINISTRYINMOTION?
DM: We have programs by Mark Finley on Life-Changing Evangelistic Preaching, Willie and Elaine Oliver on how to protect your marriage and how to build healthy relationships with your children, and Claudio and Pamela Consuegra who share some important insights about domestic abuse. The list goes on and on. All of these programs are freely available on our website.
JA: CAN OUR READERS MAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR UPCOMING PROGRAMS ON MINISTRYINMOTION?
AK: Absolutely! We want to deal with issues that are relevant to elders and their families. Participants can send us suggestions at [email protected]. One extra and important thing: We are also seeking prayer support for MINISTRYinMOTION. Derek and I are both very aware that we are dependent upon God, and we are perpetually seeking God’s direction for this exciting initiative. We encourage people to pray that this program will be significantly helpful to elders and their families.
JA: THANKS FOR SHARING WITH OUR READERS. I’M CERTAIN THAT GOD WILL BLESS ELDERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH THIS NEW MEDIA INITIATIVE.
"I am writing to let you know that I very much enjoy your new program, MINISTRYinMOTION. I just watched ‘How to Protect and Strengthen Your Marriage.’ It deeply touched my heart and made me realize that I have been neglecting my husband. I am going to take the advice given on the program and make sure that we spend more time together. Your ministry is a blessing to me. Hallelujah!”

"I watched the first program of MINISTRYinMOTION with Evangelist Mark Finley. It’s amazing because we had electricity for the duration of the program alone. ‘The wonder of it all’ is that this was the only program I watched for the day because I didn’t fuel the generator. What a divine appointment! You are a blessing to me. Thanks and God Bless.”

"The TV program, MINISTRYinMOTION, sponsored by the General Conference Ministerial Association is a very important training resource for local church leaders around the world. Certainly, many people will be shaped and blessed for a more effective ministry. Thanks Anthony Kent and Derek Morris for supporting their ministry. I ask each church pastor/ elder to promote this wonderful program at the local congregation level.”
