If a picture is worth 1,000 words how much more is a video worth? Jonathan and Michelle Wellborn are creating an international media center for the Assemblies of God in Argentina, where national staff and interns will produce materials and programming for numerous ministries. Their passion is media missions. They want to train national media missionaries from the Latin America and the U.S. to partner with other missionaries and ministries around the world in the area of media; founding new media ministries and training a national staff to eventually take over the work for themselves.
Previous Ministry: The Wellborns served as directors of communications for King's Castle Ministries in El Salvador from 2000-2007, and trained the national staff to take over the work after they left.
