According to Ely D. Gomez, in a report written for the Government of Papua New Guinea entitled, Assessment of Communication Training Needs, he proposed the possibility of increasing the use of CHURCH MEDIA AGENCIES as training institutions to assist in providing trained manpower in the field of communication.

He furthered that churches here in Papua New Guinea operate media agencies which have excellent training programs in print media, broadcast media, and audio-visuals. Likewise, church missions have provided substantial training in the use of communication to support development in the provinces. 

It is highly called upon by Gomez that these church media agencies to continue as a training institution as the government embarks on a program of having people with adequate professional training in the field of communication.

In all subjectivity, for a communication plan to be effective and efficient, I accede that “training the trainers” is a nucleus for a favourable developmental advancement. However, it is not every day that we’ve concur stories, that a religious frequented institution can now be accorded to be a training institution. This speaks volume that truly, a genuine passionate communication planner sees no boundaries in conceiving transcendent developmental perspectives. Hence, DevCom.
