ABSTRACT OPTIMIZING A FULL-TIME MUSIC MINISTRY TEAM FOR A CHURCH PLANTING PROJECT IN THE NORTHERN ASIA-PACIFIC DIVISION by Dong Hee Shin Adviser: Jeanette Bryson ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Project Document Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: OPTIMIZING A FULL-TIME MUSIC MINISTRY TEAM FOR A CHURCH PLANTING PROJECT IN THE NORTHERN ASIA-PACIFIC DIVISION Name of researcher: Dong Hee Shin Name and degree of faculty adviser: Jeanette Bryson, Ph.D. Date completed: June 2012 Problem Despite the support of the music ministry of the Golden Angels (GA), a full-time music ministry team of the Northern Asia-Pacific Division (NSD) for the Pioneer Mission Movement (PMM), a church planting project of the NSD, PMM missionaries request changes be made to the ministry of the Golden Angels be optimized to meet the needs. Task The task of this project is to develop and implement strategies for optimizing the music ministry of the GA to better ensure the success of the PMM evangelistic meetings. Results Currently, eight young people from four different countries are members of the ninth group of Golden Angels and are actively working for the PMM evangelistic meetings in the various mission fields of NSD. In 2012, the Golden Angels will support the PMM evangelistic meetings in several cities of China for the first time. In addition, in August, the Golden Angels ninth group will extend their ministry to Russia, at the Euro-Asia Division’s Pathfinder Camporee. David Ng, the president of the China Union Mission, expressed his willingness to organize a full-time singing group. The Mongolia Mission Field (MMF) already has a full-time singing group called the Descendants. Albert Kuhn, the newly appointed director of MMF, expressed his personal wish to support and own the Descendants as the professional full-time singing group for the mission in Mongolia. Conclusions The Golden Angels must first seek to meet the needs of the PMM mission field by preparing more songs in field language and become humble and zealous singing missionaries for the sake of saving souls in the mission fields. The Northern Asia-Pacific Division needs to study how to better organize full-time singing groups in each union. This study indicated that three quarters of the PMM respondents supported this step as the most ideal way to ignite the mission spirit among the countries in the NSD. The church leadership of the 13 world divisions needs to consider taking the revolutionary step demonstrated by the NSD when they launched the PMM, HHMM, and the Golden Angels. The first step has been taken; the challenge is to take the giant step forward and, by His power, incorporate full time music ministry teams throughout the world church.

  • Del Delker, Adventist Music Icon, Asleep in Jesus
    Del Delker, Adventist Music Icon, Asleep in Jesus Del Delker, longtime soloist for Voice of Prophecy, passed away on Wednesday morning, January 31, 2018, in Porterville, Calif., at the age of 93. Del, as generations of listeners and fellow believers knew her, spent much of her life and ministry in the Pacific Union and ministered to listeners around the globe with her rich and deep vocal talent. Though known for her musical career, Del is also treasured for the friendship she offered those who knew her. “Del Printed: September 2021 - Page 1 of 3 Article reprint from Adventistfaith.com on March 2018 2021© Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Copyright, All Right Reserved. Del Delker, Adventist Music Icon, Asleep in Jesus truly loved people,” said Ken Wade, writer and former executive producer of Voice of Prophecy. “She was a much- admired and emulated woman of faith, courage, fortitude, and compassion.” For more than five decades, Del Delker was the Voice of Prophecy soloist. She traveled the world with Elder HMS Richards, Sr. and Elder HMS Richards, Jr.—and at thousands of events, she shared the musical billing with Brad and Olive Braley and The King’s Heralds. Adventists around the world fell in love with her contralto voice, and her quick- witted humor and dedication to ministry impressed her associates and audience alike. Her music career began in 1947 when she joined the Voice of Prophecy as a secretary and musician. Despite feeling inadequate due of her lack of training in music, Del blossomed in her role. In 1948 she learned to sing in Spanish, opening a door to reach out to the Latin-American and Hispanic community.

The wonderment that filled the world at the sending of the first wireless has long since subsided. The airways carry their countless messages, but scarcely ever are we brought up short with the thought of the first words ever to travel by wireless: "What Hath God Wrought!" Surely the wonder is none the less real because it is now so much a part of our everyday lives. Why don©t you, too, just "take off the hat of your soul" and stand in awe before this wonder that is radio? Religious radio is a pair of feet walking into more homes than a parish worker could enter on his own feet in many days. Religious radio is a pair of hands offering help, consolation, friendliness to more lives than a parish worker could touch with his own two hands in many weeks. Religious radio is a voice speaking comfort and courage to more hearts than a parish worker could reach with his own voice in countless months. What a multiplication of service God has made possible through this wonder He has wrought! -DOROTHY GREEN in Outreach.
