uStream – uStream.tv Media Streaming

June 10, 2009

I have a couple of uStream.tv accounts that offer free live video streaming. Since they began their services I have been interested in gathering together people and interacting with a live Internet audience.

What would you be most interested in tuning in? Interviews, concerts, Bible studies, New Media training? Something else? Would you tune in on a regular basis to something like this?

Would you like to learn how to do this yourself?Perhaps you would stream your church service or a Bible study. There are lots of possibilities. You just need a web cam, computer, and high-speed internet. Start there, then improve over time. It could be fun and rewarding, right?


Facebook, MySpace, Blogs … Unifyer

October 29, 2008

I love Facebook. I have been able to connect with dozens and dozens of my current and past friends and family. It seems that not a day goes by when the name of someone I once spent a lot of time with pops up.

For me, that is AWESOME, I really love it.

What if the local church — MY church, CENTRAL ASSEMBLY — was able to connect the like-minded people groups together. Communication would increase. I think there could be a quicker adoption by ministries to connect. Hope Groups could even go to the next steps.

I have been exploring this. There are a lot of social networks out there. And recently I have discovered Unifyer. I am doing research on it right now. Ning, Unifyer, Facebook, and blogs are all ways to make connection.

Maybe you could check the link below, then come back with a few comments as you see it. I would love your input!

911 in 2008

September 8, 2008

I made a pledge to myself — now 7 years ago — to remember. Each year I want to reflect on what MY FAMILY and MINISTRY and CHURCH and FRIENDS went through. This year I will watch a news documentary that is primarily video of that terrible day.

I will never forget many of the feelings I had. One person came into my office and said that it looked like it could be over 20,000 deaths. Thank God for those brave people that frantically rescued and enabled the rescue of so many. And a few times a year I still pray for the broken and hurting families that went through that tragedy. So may will get ?stuck? in time for the rest of their changed lives because of the trauma.

What do YOU remember? What happened in YOUR world back in 2001?


Sunday Service Update

May 18, 2008

I had a great time speaking at my mom’s church this morning. It’s kind of amazing to me and must be to her to remember how nearly 50 years ago (man, I’m old, eh Nancy?) she started praying for me. Years later, of course, God called me into the ministry. Now I travel over 2000 miles after I’m sure more than 1000 stories and encourage her friends.

God has ways of bringing things together — His plan — but, we all gotta listen and stay obedient to His leading!

Ginger shared her song, “Let it Rain” during the service.

Thanks to Russ and Tanya Sturm for the love you have for Central Assembly. YOU ARE A BLESSING TO GINGER AND ME!
