• Delivering inspirational messages that provide the nuggets of truth that helps people get through a rough day at work.
• Providing dynamic worship services to those who are away from home … or to the person who is looking for a new place to worship.
• Creating rich educational opportunities for people with busy schedules.

ALL THIS IS POSSIBLE THROUGH STREAMING MEDIA
Streaming allows you to see and hear events, scripture studies, youth programs, and a multitude of other opportunities, over the Internet in real time or "on-demand." Live - real time - streaming enables you to greatly expand your audience, as the event is occurring. On-demand means the program is recorded and is available when it is convenient for the participant.

Your faith community can expand its reach and maximize its impact. Either live streaming or on-demand, the quality of image and sound is far beyond what most people have experienced on the Web. Our access to bandwidth means that your streamed sermon, youth event or speaker will be accessible to many more people and can be archived for future use.

Live streaming has an undeniable appeal and excitement, particularly for special events, or for offering real-time access to your worship services for travelers, shut-ins, or anyone who wants to check you out.

But many people are finding that on-demand streaming also unlocks incredible power and potential.

On-demand means that the video or audio clip is available when the participant demands it – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is the ultimate in convenience! This is a valuable tool that has become an effective and timely means to connect people to each other, events, and programs.

Imagine not having to try to jockey schedules around to accommodate important family activities, work schedules, and meetings.

Imagine allowing people, who are looking for a church home, to check out your worship and programs when it is convenient for them.

Imagine the youth telling everyone in school that they have to come to your web site because the youth are "starring" in a video.

• Worship services
• Youth events
• Scripture studies
• Training for volunteers - teachers, committee members, leaders
• Music
• Inspirational Devotionals
• And multitudes of other applications specific to your situation

Participants simply click on the link on your web site and the video clip begins playing on Real, Window Media, or Quick Time players. All these players are free. It is easy, effective, and powerful.

1. First of all, something needs to be recorded. The production quality is important because the better the product going into the streaming, the better the quality of the stream. The recording can be done digitally or in an analog format, but pay close attention to the production details. Good lighting, sound, focus, etc. are all critical.
2. Any recorded medium can be converted into a digital format appropriate for delivering over the web. This process is called “encoding.” We can do the encoding for you, or you can purchase an encoding board that goes into your computer, for as little as $300. Once encoded you send the file electronically to FaithandValues.com and we place it on our streaming server.
3. We will e-mail you the web address where the file is waiting to be streamed.
4. You place a link on your web site to the file - something like "Click here to see the Youth in ACTION."

When people click on the link, the video or audio player appears on their computer screen and the clip begins playing. That's all there is to it!!
