"A Blessed Hope knew we needed a website, however we didn't know where to go to find the right website for us. Thankfully, in God's Providence, he led us to iMinistries, and the guys there worked with us so well. They helped us develop our website in an inexpensive way, which, at the time, was very important to us. However, the website still had a very high-quality look.

We knew we were glad to have the website, we just didn't know how God was going to use it. Since that time, thankfully, we have found out that there are people from all over the world who are finding Blessed Hope. By finding Blessed Hope, they're hearing our teaching, and through our teaching, they are learning about God, His Word, and His Son Jesus Christ.

The wonderful thing we learned recently was a young man from our church was deployed in Afghanistan. He had to leave behind a wife and three children. So much of his life was uprooted and overturned. Yet, while he was in Afghanistan, because of the website iMinistries provided for us, he was able to stay connected to his church. And, without access to a church, through the website he was able to stay connected to God.

We are so thankful for that and we just love the guys at iMinistries, and would highly, highly recommend you investigate their ministry for your church."

"We love iMinistries for many different reasons. One of the reasons is because it is so functional, it's so easy for someone like me who isn't necessarily great with computers to make different things on our website that are accessible to our church.

Specifically sermons is an area that has been a blessing to us, because we have a family that is not able to attend our church on a weekly basis, but they've been able to following the sermon updates on a weekly updates on the website, and they've just loved it. They have been just blessed and growing in Christ. And it's been such a valuable thing to our ministry."

Ustream and Livestream are platforms that make it easy for anyone with an Internet connection and a camera to stream a live broadcast without limit to the audience's size.

Do you have elderly or ill congregation members who can't leave their home? Missionaries overseas who want to keep up with their home church? Former attenders who have recently moved? Stream your worship services on your website with these online streaming applications.

How Does it Work?

By plugging your ministry's camera feed into your computer, you can stream your video live across the Internet to an embedded player on your website. Kinda like YouTube, but with live video, streaming to anyone with access to your website.

What Do I Need to Stream Live Video?

1. A Camera
Check this list for cameras compatible with Ustream.

2. Internet Connection
The faster the better, but at least DSL or Cable.

3. A Browser-Based Video Producer
Like Ustream's Producer or Livestream's Procaster. Learn more about these applications below.

4. A Website
For people to watch your stream, you'll need a place to embed the streaming video player.
Don't have a website? We can help you with that.

How do Ustream and Livestream's Features Compare?

How is it Free?

The biggest downside of using a free service is having to endure the text ads they place at the bottom of your stream player or before your stream begins. If this is not a sacrifice you are willing to make for free streaming, you may want to look into a paid service, like Livestream's Premium channels.
