Equipping a Vision
How donor generosity helped launch a media missionary to the nations
When Rev. Yeong-gwang Im left South Korea in 2004 to study at Regent University, he carried a vision from the Lord “to visualize God’s Word.” Thanks to generous and faithful donors like you, he found the perfect training ground at Regent’s School of Divinity and School of Communication & the Arts.
You helped equip Rev. Im with the message and method to reach the nations.
“I had the precious opportunity to study God’s Word and theology— and to learn how to communicate visually,” he remembers. “Through Regent’s School of Divinity, I learned the fundamentals of ‘what to say,’ and through the School of Communication & the Arts, I learned ‘how to say it.’”
“To the donors who enabled me to take the first step of faith and courage at Regent over 20 years ago, I extend my deepest gratitude and respect.”
Rev. Yeong-gwang Im
Today, your investment in this South Korean visionary spans the globe.
As Head Director of Platform & Content Production for Christian Global Network (CGN), a 24-hour, mission- driven media organization in South Korea, he leads a team of 90 staff members, producing Christian broadcasts and digital-media services that reach 170 countries in seven languages. “My division covers all of CGN’s platforms and content,” he explains. “Its core mission is to be ‘The gospel channel for all nations’ with a vision of reaching ‘Everywhere, for everyone.’”
Empowered by your partnership, Rev. Im is passing faith to the next generation.
“Above all, CGN is fully committed to passing on the legacy of faith to the younger generation,” he adds. He understands that his path to global ministry was made possible, in large part, by the generosity of Regent donors: “Studying abroad as an international student is a tremendous challenge. However, what truly gave me the courage to boldly take on that challenge was the scholarship and financial aid I received. Without this assistance, I wouldn’t have even dared to start my studies.”
To Regent donors, he offers heartfelt thanks: “Their support acts as a crucial ‘first step,’ empowering students to boldly pursue God’s calling in faith. This initial step is incomparably vital, as it marks the very beginning of fulfilling a vision.”
Today, Rev. Im remains grateful: “To the donors who enabled me to take the first step of faith and courage at Regent over 20 years ago, I extend my deepest gratitude and respect.”
