Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28: 18-20 NIV

The Emerald City Community Church sponsors two television and radio programs. These programs exist today because of the dream of Elder Bryon Dulan, Director of Regional Affairs of the Washington Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, who saw the vision to spread the gospel through media. This dream brought about the "Adventist Media Council" (AMC).

David Henry is the Executive Producer for the New Directions telecast. He has been producing this program since 1994. David is also an avid photographer. Throughout the year, he engages in photographing weddings and family portraits through his business sideline, Hope Photography.  By profession, David is and Educator specializing in Physical Education.
