Special gatherings for Technical Support for Videostreaming (TSV) officers were held in various ecclesiastical districts around the world on September 22, 2024 in line with commemorating the TSV’s fourth anniversary. New officers were also sworn in during those holy occasions.

The said gatherings of TSV officers in each district were led by their respective supervising ministers: in Metro Manila South District, Brother Jerick Dela Cruz (CAA Congregation house of worship); Quezon City District, Brother Virgilio del Rosario Sr. (Batasan Hills 1); Aklan District, Brother Eduardo Donato (Kalibo); Benguet District, Brother Ardy Mendoza (Baguio City); Leyte West District, Brother Marvin Garlitos (Ormoc City), all in the Philippines. For their overseas counterparts, such as those in the Ecclesiastical Districts of Italy South and Bay Area California were Brother Dyland Ramos (Roma Est) and Brother Serginio Bayani (San Francisco), respectively.

The congregants were reminded by the officiating ministers of the importance of their functions especially during worship services. They were then taught from the Bible that God expects those entrusted an office in the Church to prioritize performing their duties and endure tests of faith for it so that they could please the Almighty God.

Kamyl Beltran, newly sworn TSV officer from Camp 7 Congregation in Benguet Ecclesiastical District, shared that, “Upon taking my oath of duty, I understood that I have been entrusted with a great responsibility which I will strive to fulfill despite the hindrances which I may face.”

“I deeply thank the Church Administration for inspiring me with the words of God as I fulfill my duty. Being a TSV officer is a challenging task as I have to familiarize the know-how of the technologies used in our services to God,” said John Michael Tejada from the Numancia Congregation, in Aklan Ecclesiastical District.

“We thank the Lord God for this gathering. We are one with our TSV brethren around the globe in celebrating the organization’s 4th anniversary. Our faith was renewed and our conviction once again strengthened. We promise to always be motivated to improve the quality of the performance of duty,” said Brother Allain Jester Cagliari, Italy South District TSV coordinator.

Organized by the Church Administration in 2020 during the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, the TSV is in charge of technical matters such as video streaming technology mainly for worship services among other gatherings of the Church.

“With modern-day technology advancing further, a TSV officer’s role is to ensure that all technical aspects of the worship service are done in a manner that will maintain the solemnity and orderliness of our worship gatherings,” said Vinz Cruz, who took oath as a TSV lead, from the Local Congregation of Hayward. “I feel even more blessed than ever to be of greater help to the Church, especially in my local congregation. I promise to always perform my duty and to do wholeheartedly whatever is asked of me, doing all things for our Almighty God.”— With assistance from Noel Deligero Jr., Marck Delos Reyes and JP Rivera Jr.
