Media Conference Goes Online

By Daniel Humphreys

Media Conference, CONNECT 20 starts 1-5 June and instead of the usual Gold Coast-based conference, COVID has forced organisers to move it online. Interested participants can watch live online or on-demand for 60 days by registering online through the website for Christian Media and Arts Australia (CMAA) – summit.mediaarts.org.

CMAA CEO, Nathan Brown, said the conference has many speakers. “We have lined up so everybody from the sister of Lenny Kravitz to Darren Mulligan even Michael W. Smith. There’s just a wealth of people and a quality of people that God’s actually provided.”

Nathan went on to say, “The takeaway during this conference is how we will think, create, speak in new ways, have a rebirth in our lives, in our ministry and in the way that we engage with culture.”

Philip Rentsch, Station Manager at 99.9 Live FM said a number of people at the station would be involved in the conference., “We are part of the CMAA double framework because it strengthens Christian radio and ultimately changes lives in Australia and New Zealand.” 

This event has been around for nearly 40 years, but this is the first time it will be held online and open to such a wide audience.

Care Army Journey Begins in Townsville

Here at YWAM Townsville, we are helping to extend the reach of Queensland’s Care Army across the state’s north by coordinating our local volunteers to provide much-needed support to seniors through the pandemic. The Minister for Communities and Minister for Disability Services and Seniors and Member for
Mundingburra Coralee O’Rourke visited us today to see first-hand the role we are playing in rolling out the Care Army in Townsville.

The Care Army was announced on April 1 by Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, as a way to look out for those most at risk from COVID-19. Mrs O’Rourke said the Care Army’s main aim was to help seniors stay home and stay safe.

“We know that people who are aged over 70, 65 years and older with a chronic health condition or over 50 if they’re of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent are particularly at risk of serious complications from this virus,” she said. “The Care Army plays a crucial role in making sure older Queenslanders have enough food, access to all their medication needs, and are able to stay socially connected while isolating in their homes.

Here at YWAM we play a key role in coordinating the Care Army in Townsville, working with local community groups to pinpoint the greatest need for volunteers. We will connect vulnerable Queenslanders to the volunteers and community groups that can deliver the requested support.
