"Radio Veritas Asia-Myanmar Service (RVA-MS) had been broadcasting socio-political and religious programming in Shortwave (SW) since November 11, 1978. However, on 30 June 2018, RVA stopped broadcasting in SW and migrated to the internet-based multiplatform broadcasting along with the use of Social media. Based on the researcher’s experiences working in RVA-MS, personal observations and the country’s recent developments, this study tries to find out differences between SW and online broadcast, challenges in migrating from SW technology to that of online and its consequences, and future perspectives of this present development i.e., online-based multiplatform broadcast both using websites and social media. Both experiences in SW and Online of RVA as a producer, and data analysis from personal interviews of selected cyber missionaries show that engaging in online ministry in Myanmar is found to be positive and favorable in many ways especially young people and creating a new group of participants. This study determines future online communication ministry of the Myanmar Church and to integrate to an “Online Church” through collaboration and communication by realizing the individual online/cyber missionaries, media professionals and allocating the resources."
