“In the beginning was the Word…” The entire universe was created by the power of God’s words. Through our thoughts, speech, songs, articles, visuals, websites, films, and all creative expression, we see that God’s Spirit resides in us. Our Creator is still creating today. Together as communicators we can see our world changed by creating with Him. [The Creative Media & Communication Course – CMC211 was previously known and the School of Communication Foundations and completes the University of the Nations requirement for communication core course for AA and BA degrees]
…is to train effective communicators with a strategic communications skill set for use in missions and life. From the power of the written word to visual storytelling and media rich presentations, you will obtain experience in the core skills and understanding needed to create transformational web, social, audio and video content with cutting edge design. Join our private Facebook Group to follow this creative journey.
We set out to create a new type of communication course that bridged the gap between the skills and principles of communication that are needed to be effective in ministry or as a professional in the spheres of society… think: art, communication, education, science & technology, the Church, etc.
So maybe you want to be a filmmaker… a designer… a musician… a pastor… a writer… or an artist of any discipline? Consider building a broad foundation in your understanding of communication and media so that you can make a deep and powerful impact in your specific area of calling.

Hear about our course from school leader: Joel Rogers
Despite doctors assuring his parents they would never have children, Joel William Rogers came totally unexpected. Born on the 7th day of the 7th month of 1977… 7 minutes after his less un-expected twin brother Jeff. He likes playing rock ‘n roll on his electric guitar and loves telling real stories – including the made-up ones. Sometimes those stories are tattooed on dead trees, but more often they flash up on screens before hiding in people’s minds. He has American & French nationality but will not ask you to pardon his French. Joel currently lives in Kona, Hawaii with his viking-surfer-designer-wife Benedicte, his scientist-artist-freerunner son Ethan, his hula dancing-painter-comedian daughter Lily and his recently born daughter Summer who is really good at rolling over and making the whole world smile.

YWAM Kona’s University of the Nations campus is a place of great vision. Maybe anywhere that hosts thousands of young, sold out followers of Jesus who have left everything to serve would experience this kind of “open heaven” atmosphere that many remark on when they arrive here? These buildings are just tools. But God is using every part of our campus to see students and staff experience massive life changes and take His love to the nations!
