Commemorating the 60th birthday of the team, Daniel Hsieh, director of the Heaven Melody (HM), which is the pioneering Christian singing professional group in Taiwan, expressed his gratitude.
Director Hsieh delivered a speech titled "The Journey of Love: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow of Heaven Melody” at the Second Impact Asia Alliance Summit.
The HM choir was invited to lead several worship services at the summit. Dr. Doris Brougham (also known as Teacher Peng Meng-hui), an American missionary in Taiwan, and Lee Haggerty founded the Overseas Radio and Television, Inc. (ORTV) in 1960, according to Hsieh's introduction during the testimony. And Dr. Doris is 97 years old this year.
ORTV has established two ministries, the Studio Classroom and Heavenly Melody. Founded in 1962, Studio Classroom targets teaching through TV programs and magazines. The following year, HM was born, and this year marks its 60th anniversary. It aims to evangelize and serve around the world through original praise music compositions and music concerts.
“Our ministry created Taiwan‘s first Christian television program, 'Heavenly Melody'. There wasn’t the choir—Heavenly Melody—until we started to compose original music.”
Looking back on some of Tianyun's developments, Hsieh mentioned that in 1979, Dr. Simon Hung, chairman of the ORTV, produced the first gospel film, "Two Brothers," in Taiwan. Looking forward to the future, Director Hsieh said, “The future is in the hands of God.”
To mark its 60th birthday, Heavenly Melody hosted 12 concerts with preaching in different cities in Malaysia from October 19 to 30.
After the music service at the Second Impact Asia Alliance Summit, HM also served in different gatherings in Indonesia, expressing appreciation to the churches and gratitude to God for His protection and guidance for their ministry over the past 60 years.

台湾第一个全职专业的音乐侍奉团队-天韵合唱团庆60周年之际，团长谢光哲表示感恩。
谢在第二届亚洲论坛影响力国际年会上以《因爱启程：天韵的昨日、今日、明日》为题做了分享。
该合唱团受邀在年会上做了多场赞美侍奉。见证时，谢介绍说：救世传播协会创办于1960年，由美国来台宣教士彭蒙惠老师和李恩祺夫妇一起创立。彭蒙惠老师今年已经97岁高龄。
救世传播协会下面有两个事工：空中英语教室和天韵合唱团。空中英语教室是1962年创立的，主要做电视节目和杂志的教学。第二年（1963年)创办了天韵合唱团，今年是天韵60周年。它出产福音CD，以及到世界各地巡回侍奉和传福音。
“我们事工制作的第一个台湾的福音电视节目叫《天韵歌声》。开始创作音乐之后，有了天韵诗班——天韵合唱团。”
回顾天韵的一些发展，谢光哲提到1979年，洪善群长老（救世传播协会现在的理事长）制作了台湾第一个福音电影《两兄弟》。关于未来，谢说：“未来在神的手中。”
据该官网，为庆祝建立60周年，10月19日到30日，天韵合唱团在马来西亚不同城市举办了12场布道音乐会。
在第二届亚洲论坛影响力国际年会侍奉之后，天韵合唱团还在印尼多个聚会做服侍。去回馈众教会以及感恩60年来神对事工的保守和带领。
