wrote me We had 750 people view our online services the first week Now it s dropped to about five during the live streaming service It s really not worth our effort I get it But the instant growth churches saw at the onset of the quarantine was an anomaly Churches that are investing time and other resources in digital services are seeing slow but steady growth after the immediate declines It is a great alternative for those who are physically unable to attend the inperson services Some of your members and guests are homebound Others are out of town The digital service becomes their only alternative And for those of you who are arguing that digital services will be an excuse for physically able persons not to attend we are not seeing that reality take place At most any losses are more than offset by gains It is a complement to the in person service Though it s in its incipient stages we are seeing digital services become a first step for people to come to the inperson services They test run the church several weeks before they attend in person We are particularly seeing this trend among nominal Christians and non Christians It opens the door for ministry to the community A church is not only supposed to be in a community but it should also be a ministry to the community Your church will have much greater visibility to the community with online services than most other alternatives It is an incredible instrument for prayer I am encouraged to see an increasing number of churches offer prayer lines through phone numbers and or email addresses A pastor recently told me that their email address prayer was growing in the number of prayer requests sent by the week The church puts that email address on the lower third of the stream several times during the services It is truly an Acts 1 8 ministry Church leaders and members are excited to discover their reach is beyond the community to other points in the nation and the world The early Christians had to travel the Roman roads to get the gospel from town to town The internet has become our Roman roads
