Following last years success stories of Asia Communication Sunday, the Executive Committee of WACC - Asia has proposed to observe June 20, 2010 as the Asia Communication Sunday of 2010 on the theme: “Communicating hope amidst diversity: the challenges of multi-faith Asia”, calling for “Communicating Hope”. WACC – Asia believes that God provides for humankind a message of hope that enhances the quality of life spiritually, physically, socially, economically and culturally, in other words, in all dimensions of life. The purpose of Christian Communication is to create this communication vision designed to fulfil the great commandment — “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.” In such communication a quality of life may be offered that brings hope both for the present and the future world. Hence we communicate with increasing urgency and insistence of the message of hope, in order to change life here and now, and offer the completeness of life that comes through Jesus Christ.
