Q - What has become of "Master's Commission", the Miracle Channel's in-house school of broadcasting? Did the school shut down due to the departure of Dick and Joan Deweert (aka Dewert) and subsequently their son-in-law Ryan Caldwell, who was the Student Director of the school? Also, to date, did any of the graduates of the program go on to achieve a successful career in broadcasting outside of the Miracle Channel Association? I am querying the effectiveness of the school in producing qualified, educated media personnel. Or was the whole thing just a ploy to enlist more volunteers to man the phones and do time in the war room?
A - No response as of yet.
The only information I could find about the school was an ad that was posted on christianmedia.ca, which states,
"The Miracle Channel School of TV Ministry is a ten-month program that encompasses technical training, discipleship, and servanthood in the Christian television broadcasting ministry. Subjects include learning to operate a television camera, scriptwriting and storyboarding, studio lighting, video editing, as well as practical ministry answering phones in the prayer center and much more.
This program is geared toward those who have a passion to learn, experience, and be involved in Christian television media. We are looking for people who want to see the gospel spread through the airwaves in our nation and around the world."
