 Hey, good morning, Rowan. Welcome to BC 314, our course on media and technology. I've put up the PDFs for some of those classes that we had, the lectures that we had on print media, radio, television, films, and then yesterday we spoke a little bit about entertainment and gaming, and so I just put up PDFs for that and just with little information I'm not, you know it's not an exhaustive encyclopedia information, but just some outline, some background in those areas so you can think about it and you know, if there are people in your congregation or in your ministries that are interested in those areas by all means encourage people to, you know, to use those forms of communication to serve people within the church or outside the church, because God can use those forms of communication, use media to touch and bless people. Yesterday, we started talking about digital engagement, digital communications and engagement and I'll just quickly review what we did and then start going into some practical things that we can do in this space and yeah, and just share some of the things that we've done and lessons we've learned and, you know, we're continuing here at Thought People's Search. We're continuing to learn and explore and, you know, get better. In this area this is important, digital communications and engagement, like we said yesterday people are expecting digital content from their local church or ministry and and it's a great opportunity but we need to learn how to do it properly and also to keep up with changing times and so on. So yesterday, we spoke a little bit about, you know, how do we formulate a digital engagement strategy for those inside the church, those outside the church? You know, you can ask some basic questions and, you know, those answers answers to those questions will help us come up with some strategy. This is how we can engage with people on digital platforms and we also said that when you're thinking of people outside the church, it doesn't always have to be just non-Christians, but it can also be the church outside your congregation. You know, there's the body of Christ, the larger body of Christ. You can serve them as well using digital platforms and we then spend a little bit of time talking about, you know, how to really evaluate progress. We need to look at life transformation as opposed to just the engagement part. Of course, in the digital space, there will be some metrics. They serve some, to some extent as indicators, but they're not the indicators we want to be looking at. We really want to see how have people been ministered to, how have their lives been changed? And then we just kind of ran through some examples and, you know, here's a little exercise you can think about, okay, if I'm targeting teens or young adults, you know, how would I go about that? Now, how would I be able to formulate a digital engagement strategy for that particular demographic? And again, you have to think about people that you're immediately ministering to, meaning people in your region and then, of course, you can then think about people outside your region. Right? So today, we'll take a step forward and talk a little bit about websites. This is very important for a church or a ministry. You know, nowadays, people expect you to have it. So you think about, in times past, churches or Christian ministries would have brochures, they would have printed brochures as an informational piece of communication. So somebody comes and says, hey, pick up our, you know, our brochure or pick up our monthly bulletin. If you want to know what's happening in the church, and they would give out a printed piece of paper or maybe multiple papers, whatever, they give that out. And that would be a useful way for people to know what's happening in this church, what's happening in this ministry, what areas I can be involved in, you know, and things like that. Just to help people connect. Today, things have changed. People are not necessarily looking for a brochure, but they're looking for a website. And your website, in one, in some way, serves as a brochure. It tells people, look, this is who we are, this is what we do. And here are all the details about us. So today, it's almost like a given. You've a church or a ministry, you're supposed to have a website. You know, it's a place where people can look you up. And then, of course, there are many advantages for having a website. So I would encourage all of us, you know, as you're beginning your ministry or your church, church or ministry, whatever you're doing, you know, think about this. This is very important from as one of the ways you can digitally engage with people, the people you are serving and beyond, right? So typically, you'd have a kind of a web developer and a graphic designer to help you build your website. So what would you know? Typically, again, I'm not saying you have to do all these things, but typically, you would want to use a content management system. That means here's like, you know, a ready-made thing. It's almost like an IKEA for building a website. You know, when you, those of us who are familiar with IKEA, you want to build a table. You just order a box and they've got everything assembled and you put it together and you have a table. You don't have to go to a carpenter to do it. You don't have to start from scratch. Right? So a content management system or something like that. It's pre-built. It's got everything in it. Now you need to just set it up for your particular church or organization. And a web developer typically can help you do it. And if you use a content management system, then if, you know, you can also learn how to update the content on it. It's pretty easy. So there are many different content management systems out there. Some of the top ones, WordPress is, I think, the leading content management system. WordPress then there is Joomla. Joomla is what we use at APC. And then there are others, you know, several others. And I'm just mentioning three here. There are a lot of different content management systems that you could use. And these, of course, are built with certain software technology, which a web developer would know how to use. The advantage of using a content management system is, you know, you can customize it for whatever you want. It's easy, learning curve. And it's easy for day-to-day use and maintenance. You know, even you can learn how to update the text and whatever in it, graphics and so on. And some of these platforms have literally millions of developers who work on it. So it's easy to find people to help you work on some of these more well-known content management systems. Those of you who have used WordPress or Squarespace, these are things you can do yourself. You know, Joomla is a little, not that straightforward, but WordPress, many of you may already have your blogs and so on on WordPress. And they provide an end-to-end solution, you know, from domain, registering a domain name and hosting and other things. So it's all easy to set up. Now, some things I want to mention here is when you engage an external developer or a company, an individual or a company to do this for you, very important, make sure that you keep full control. You retain full control of the website. Because, you know, I've seen and I'm speaking from our experience here in Bangalore, I don't know about how it works in other countries. But I've had some churches and ministries, more than one, come to us and say, hey, you know, we engage this developer to do our church website, our ministry website. He set the whole thing up. Now he's got full control. Now he's refusing to give it, you know, give us the credentials to log in for our own website to control it. And that's it. They're stuck. And it was not a nice situation. So we had to help them out of it. I tried to negotiate, get the credentials and then help them fix what they wanted to fix. So I've seen on more than one occasion that kind of a situation happened. So I'm just saying, hey, if you're getting somebody else to do this work for you, keep full control. You have, you know, the administrative credentials with you, for your domain name, hosting, everything, you know, keep it in your control. And also have a clearly written contract in place. You know, again, this is a big problem in churches and ministries, they don't put a contract in place. They just, you know, get somebody maybe from the congregation or some friend, they know, they say, hey, you just develop it for us. And so that, you know, initially it all starts out well. But later on, when it comes to payments and, you know, support and maintenance, there's nothing written. So then it becomes a back and forth and things get a little messy. So I would say, even if you're hiring your best friend to work for you, put a contract. Yes, there is friendship, but work is work. It has to be treated in a very professional way. Write it down. These are the terms on which we are going to engage with each other. Both of you sign off on it and then engage that person. This is something many churches and ministries don't do. And then they get into a lot of trouble, you know, a few months later. So just some things to, you know, forewarn you, then you think of putting a website together. The second thing is, you know, select your website name, your domain name, you know, just some simple tips. Sometimes people don't think about these things, but, you know, select something that's short and easy. It's got to be short. You know, example, the name of our church is All People's Church and World Outreach. So we didn't, you know, if we can't expect people to type that whole thing out all the time. So we just put APCWO, All People's Church World Outreach. So that's something short and easy. Now, short, easy, right? Now, APCWO is not necessarily easy if you could find a name that really sticks. That's good. But over time, people associate APCWO with All People's Church World Outreach. They're able to associate it. So it's not necessarily a good example of being easy, but choose something that, you know, it's almost like a mnemonic. Then they will tend to remember that easier, right? Choose something they can associate with your name with ministry, something that's easy to type, understandable words, and if possible, use a mnemonic, correct? So select your domain name carefully. Don't pick a name that later on you find, oh, man, that's so difficult for people to type or people to remember and so on. And then there's also search engine issues later on. For example, if there's a church called Hope City Church, Bangalore, you would think of something like HPCB.org, Hope City Church, Bangalore, or it could be just Hope City or something short and easy that you would find. So, you know, we've just put out some examples here. Now, you can of course check the availability of your domain name and whois.com. So we can go there, see if your domain name, what your interest in is available. Preferably, you would use a .org. Of course, you could use, you know, things that are specific to your country if you want to. Or, you know, you could use something different. You could use a .com or nowadays, there are so many other extensions available. So pick whatever is your comfortable but typically, non-profit organizations would end with a .org extension. So, just some tips there. Now, once you do that, you've got to register your domain name. And you've got to set up a hosting provider. Somebody who's going to host your website. So, the domain registrar is a company that will, you know, record your name. And the way it works is when somebody searches, you know, types out your domain name, it goes out to, it looks up, you know, goes to the registry. That's maintained by the registrar that, okay, this domain name has this IP address. The IP address is like the unique address for that domain name that points to where it's being hosted, where the website is being hosted, looks it up, then it goes out to that particular server and sends the information back to that person who is online. Right? So, that's why your domain name has to be registered. So, usually you would use different hosting providers who would do the registration for you, so you don't have to worry about it. You can find some hosting provider that's good in your country, in your region, or you could use other providers, like we mentioned some here that are, that we use Hostica. You could use GoDaddy or you can go directly to google.com and register your domain there, domain name there. There is some benefit of registering directly to Google. You may gain an advantage in terms of search engine optimization or being found. You may gain some advantage. But you can register anywhere and so on. And of course, costing is an issue. So, think about who can give you the best price and what you're able to pay. Right? So, you set up your domain name, you register, you go to your hosting provider whom you use. You, your hosting provider typically will help you register your domain name and also you can get your website set up with that hosting provider. So, for example, if you want to do it directly with Google, you can go to domains.google.com, search if your name is there, you know, and we can get it set up there and you can also even host your website on Google Cloud. They provide space and ways to host your website. So, that's one way to do it. Okay. Now, when you're building your website, I will definitely, we'll have time for questions. So, I'm just kind of going through this content here, information here and then I will take questions. So, when you're building your website, you got to think about, well, what kind of a website do you want to have and what are the objectives of your website? Right? So, it's not like, okay, I'll just have a website. Well, what do you want to do? To whom are you targeting? And what do you want to do with this? Right? So, depending on the people you are targeting, you would design your website that way. So, the team, the look and the feel of your website, right, has to kind of be geared or tailored towards your target audience. Now, if you're setting up a youth website, of course, you want to look, you want it to be very attractive, very compelling for that age group. If you're doing it, like, you know, you've got a wide range of people, then of course, you do also want to care for some of the more classic viewers who would like something more simple. They don't want anything too flashy. They want information, so on. So, you need to look at a team that would be best serve your people. Or if you're doing a website that is, you know, that is for a ministry that is serving poor children, well, you need a team that communicates that. It's got to give that feeling that, you know, there's, you're serving these kind of people and so on. So, pick your team thoughtfully and then what is it that you're trying to achieve through your website? Is it going to be mainly informational? Are you going to use it as a content repository where people are going to come there for resources? Are you going to use it to raise money, support for your ministry? Are you going to sell things on it? Are you going to use it to get people to, you know, maybe register for your event, sign up for various things? You know, what are the things? What's your main objective? So, when you look at our church reps at APCWRT, our main objective is this, you know, to provide content. So, we want to be like a global repository of information, Christian information of Christian resources, right? So, that's our goal. Now, of course, we've got the other elements like, okay, we have to provide information on who we are, what we do, what's our statement of faith, how are we organized, what are the events that are happening, etc. Those are there, but that's not the primary focus. Our primary focus is we want to grow into being a website that becomes a central repository for content that disciples and equips believers, right? So, that when people, you know, example, they want to learn about something, they say, hey, I'm going to go to the APC website. I know I'll find sermons there. I'll find books there. I will find content there that's going to help me in that area of my Christian life and journey. So, we want to grow into that. So, we've tried to design our website in that manner, but that perspective, emphasizing that while, you know, providing the informational aspects of it and other kinds of things that cater to our immediate congregation. So, you need to think through, okay, what do you want to do with your website? And then typically, you will have your homepage, you'll have some information about yourself. What will new people do? What about upcoming events? Who are the people responsible in the ministry and how can people come to your services or reach out to or your church office and so on, right? Just, you know, mentioning some of these may be very obvious, but it's good to state the obvious sometimes. Use colors, layouts that are pleasant. It's very important to make sure there are no spelling errors in your text and your graphics. And sometimes we've made those errors and, you know, we've got to tell you, hey, correct it quickly, you know. Keep content up to date. There's no, if somebody goes to a website and they say, oh, the last time this page was up, you know, they're giving me information from 2000 or 2001, it's not current, the events are not current, then it kind of leaves a very bad impression that maybe this website is not being maintained or maybe the churches cease to exist or whatever. You know, so keep content up to date. When there are cross links, there are links in your pages, make sure those links are all working and make sure that the website is intuitive and easy. You know, people should find the information they need. So one of the things is to have some obvious menu items, so that, you know, these are very obvious about contact, so that it's very intuitive. Okay, this is where I go if I want to find this information. Then, some of the useful things you can do when you're having a website is have options without being a pest, without being, you know, too in your face, have people, give people the opportunity to share their contact details, right? So, you know, you're not forcing them, but you're giving them a place where they could do it and also if they want to register for upcoming events, they could do it. Then, of course, you can integrate your website with your social media and so that people know where to go if they want to see you on social media. And lastly, you know, make sure you optimize your website for search engine. That means if people are searching, you know, they should find you because that is one way in which people are going to start coming to your church or your ministry. So, you got to localize your church as well as you got to globalize your church. That means, remember when you search, especially on search engines like Google or Bing or other, these are two primary. When you search on Google, the way it works is it will localize the search based on where the user is. So, if I'm searching for something in Bangalore, the first thing Google, the Google Algorithms does is it sees if what I'm searching for is something that can be answered locally. So, if I'm searching for a restaurant, it's not going to show me the best restaurant in Boston or anything like that. If I'm searching for pizza restaurants, it's not going to display pizza restaurants some other part of the world. It's going to show me restaurants that serve pizza that are very specific to where I am. So, you know, obviously Google recognizes where I am unless I do an incognitive search. Typical normal search would be it says that I'm in Bangalore. I'm searching for a restaurant that serves pizza. So, it's going to give me a list of restaurants that are right here, close to where I am. So, it localizes the search depending on what I'm searching for. If I'm searching for, you know, books on divine healing, for example, healing and deliverance, then that's not necessarily something that is restricted to where I am. It's a generic, you know, what are the books that are good on that subject, healing and deliverance. So, it will pull from the universe, the entire universe, the entire, you know, global information available. It could tailor it to my preferences if I have some history on doing similar searches, it will of course tailor that in. So, Google index says, you know, all the websites, all the content of the websites, and then in showing me the results, it's going to determine what are the best results to show to me based on where I am or based on what I'm searching for. So, you need to think about this, because suppose, you know, you have a website and somebody in your city is searching for a church to go to, then you want your website to come up as high and as, as, you know, on the search results page, preferably on the first page, right? Because typically people go to the, you know, they'll read through the first few results and sometimes they may go to page two or page three, but generally they try to, people act on what they see coming up on page one. So, you have to optimize your website for people to find, local people to find you, because the other ones are going to likely come to your church on Sunday. So, for example, I'm just giving this example, if people in, anybody in Bangalore searches for a spiritual church in Bangalore, then definitely we would like our website to come up, you know, we'd like people to see that. So, you know, for example, I'm just going to try to do that now. So, let me share, let's see now what happens here. So, you know, I'm in Bangalore, so let's say I'm a person who's come to Bangalore, I'm looking for a church and I want to go to a church in Bangalore. What would I, most likely what would people do, you know, they would search for a church. Now, what kind of a church would I like to go to? I'll say, hey, I'd like to go to a spiritual church. So, what would I type? I would, you know, I would type spirit, build a church in Bangalore. So, Google is showing me this map based on where I am and the first church that's listed here is all people's church, right? So, you know, we've optimized our website to show up for that particular search result, Spiritful Church in Bangalore. So, people, it's very highly likely they'll click on us. Now, these are, you know, listed, we'll talk about this a little later where you can, you know, list your church and Google business and it'll pick it up from there. But this is, this is the result of just crawling off website. So, of course, the other church is listed here. Now, suppose I say I want a word-based church, right? That means, you know, okay, some people want a Spiritful Church. Somebody say I want a very word-based church in Bangalore. So, I'm looking for a church. Again, you know, all people's church comes up right on top. Yeah. So, again, we've optimized our website for that, you know, search. So, it's highly likely they'll click on it and go look for it. And so, like this, there are other terms that you could optimize your website on. So, we, for example, if somebody says I want a charismatic church, charismatic church in Bangalore. So, these are, you know, being listed there. And then you see, again, all people's church comes up right on top because, again, we've optimized our church website for that charismatic church phrase. So, like that, you can optimize your church website for different search phrases, you know. And, you know, we've done that for our Bible College as well. So, if I look for, you know, I mean, I can search for Spirit-filled Bible College. I can say, Bible Colleges in Bangalore. I'm looking for that. And there are a lot of Bible Colleges. APC is listed as one of those. But then you'll see APC Bible Colleges right on top. Of course, we have a Bible College page from our main website, but we also got the Bible College page optimized for that kind of a search. So, or if somebody says, I want to, I want, I want to know free Bible Colleges, free Bible College, Bible Colleges in India. Let's say, anywhere in India, somebody's searching, they do this. So, there's another institute that's listed on top. And let's see, an APC Bible Colleges right there, like number two in the list. So, we've optimized it for those kinds of searches. So, like this, there are a lot of other things that you can do. Now, think about this. Suppose I'm anywhere in the world. I'm assuming all of you are seeing my screen right here. You're able to see my screen, right? Thank you. So, suppose I'm somewhere sitting anywhere in the world and I, you know, we can change your locations. I can show you how to do it. But suppose I'm searching for, you know, I'm searching for a book. I want a book on example, Healing and Deliverance. Healing and Deliverance. So, here's it's showing me a local church that's doing healing and deliverance. And then you see here, our book on Healing and Deliverance is listed number here, right on top. So, this is our APC book. I'm Ministering Healing and Deliverance and, you know, you've done that. We also run here, weekend schools that's also listed here. So, now, if I change my geolocation to some other country, so for example, I open an incognitive window and I pretend I'm in the US. So, I go to google.com slash geolocation is US. All right. So, I'm changing my search. That means I'm pretending I'm in the US right now. So, here you can see that it doesn't recognize that I'm in Bangalore. There's no location given here. I'm using an incognitive window. That means it's not using my local information. I've set the geolocation to US. That means I'm going to do a search as though I'm living in the US. Now, here if I search for you know, a book on Healing and Deliverance. So, this is US result, right? So, all these books are there. There's Amazon book. And let's see if we get listed somewhere here. Okay. So, our APC book, free book comes up here. That means in the US, if somebody searches for a book on Healing and Deliverance, they're going to see our book from APC, right? Again, so we have optimized our website for a global audience. So, that means anywhere in the world you search for Healing and Deliverance, you will get this book. You will see it. Of course, there are a lot of other people, other books as well. But what the point I'm saying is you can optimize your website for local audience also for a global audience, right? And so on. So, we could, for example, if you search for a book on wonderful, no, I'm searching as I'm in the US, wonderful benefits. So, there are other books that are listed here. But then you see APC's book, Wonderful Benefit of Praying in Tongues. So, somebody in the US searching for this kind of title, they'll be able to see our book, right? So, okay. So, close this incognito window. Come back. Okay. Come back here. So, what was I saying? Yeah. So, what I was saying was that you can optimize your website for these keywords. So, think about it. First, think about it locally. That means, within your city, how would people search for your ministry or for your church? What would the key terms that, what kind of people do you want to attract? So, for example, like I showed you, when it is, you know, Spiritville Church, Charismatic Church or Bible-based Church or you can even search Family Church or, you know, Pentecostal Church or whatever those terms are, which you think people will search for. And they will look for that church. Somebody goes into, you know, our city, they'll search. And they will find, then they should find your church website, hopefully on the first page. Then it's a highly likely thing that they're going to, you know, of course, they will look at location, how far it is from where they're living, etc. And it's highly likely that they will come to visit your church, right? So, that means you're not just having a website, but you're optimum. You're kind of, you're using your website in a way to reach people because that's something common people commonly do when they're looking for a church. They go online and search. So, they should be able to search your website. Now, the other thing I was pointing out is that your website can become a content delivery system to people anywhere in the world, right? So, how can you do that? So, once again, you can optimize your website and the content that you have on your website to be available for a global audience. So, like I was just showing you, if people search for certain content that is available in ABC website, it is highly likely that it will come up on the first page or within the first three pages. Now, anywhere in the world, anywhere in the English-speaking world, of course, because other website is in English. So, in the English-speaking world, if you search for that kind of content, it's highly likely we will be there because we've tried to optimize the website for a global search, right? And there are ways to do it. People who understand search engine optimization will be able to tell you, look, these are things that you need to do in order to make your website rank high in certain keywords and phrases and so on. The point I want to get across is don't just make a website and say, okay, we have a website for our church. That is good. That's a first step. But think about how the website can help you reach out to people. How you can make your website as a way to get what you have out there. Remember, just putting content on a website doesn't mean people will find it because there are literally millions of websites, all kinds of websites. So, in order for your content to be useful, it has to be found. And in order to find for it to be found online when people are searching, there is a way to make it happen. That is, you know, we call it search engine optimization. So, there's a way to do it. So, we intentionally, and it's an ongoing work, you know, we've been doing this on and on and on. Every week, we keep searching, we keep analyzing how our website is doing and we have to keep improving it. Anytime we go to sleep, the ranking can go down. So, and we have to keep looking at various aspects of optimizing the website. It's an ongoing work. You can never say it's over. It keeps on going. Okay. Abraham's question about other languages. Should you have two different websites to focus on different groups or one website to change the language? So, what I would, at least the way we are doing it is we are having different websites and different languages. For example, we have our English website, which is what we saw, but we have a separate Hindi website. So, but it is, there are two ways to do it. One is you can have it as a sub domain. That means we have it as hindi.apcwo.org. So, it's like a sub domain. Or you could even have it as a separate page. So, you could have it, for example, like apcwo.org slash hindi. It takes you to a separate set of pages. Or you could have it entirely different like apc hindi.something. So, there are three different ways you can do it. You can have it as a sub domain. You can have it as a different set of pages. Or you can have a different domain name for the website. There are pros and cons. And one of the criteria, at least you have to think about is how would that affect the overall ranking of the main website? So, the way such engine happens is when you have a sub domain, the ranking of your main website gets divided into some measure with your sub domain. So, then you might tend to compromise the ranking of your main website if you have too many sub domains that you're also trying to push. So, you have to think about that carefully. So, of course, and then there are the other factors which is the people are going to maintain the website. Would they be the same people doing it? Or would you have different people doing it to handle different languages? So, it's kind of a, I don't think there's one straightforward answer to it, Abraham. If the same people can maintain both, that's great. Then you just, you know, you could have it as a sub domain or just add on a few pages to in that language, have it, you know, like slash Hindi or slash whatever the language is. Yeah, so I cannot, I guess I cannot give you a straightforward answer, meaning this is always the right answer. There are these various factors that you need to think about. What I can say is you have to be a little careful when you create sub domains under your main domain because then it compromises the ranking of the main website. So, that would be a very important factor to think about before you get on to creating multiple language websites. Yeah, so, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not able to give you like a firm clear answer because there are a lot of different factors that go into it. I can say what we've done is we've created Hindi as a sub domain, hindi.apcw.org. That's how we've done it. But publicly, when we tell people, we say apcw.org slash Hindi. So, we give them a URL apcw.org slash Hindi. When they type that, it redirects to the sub domain, hindi.apcw.org. That's how we've set it up. Okay, yeah. Any other questions on websites? Is it getting too technical? Are you all with me? I don't want to get too technical, then I might lose some people. But is it okay now? You're able to digest what I've been saying. Yes, it's a perfect thing. Okay, all right. So, that's good. So, when you're creating a website, think about these things. Let me just go back to the notes and see if something I can just cover up in the next few minutes. Yeah, so think about, you know, how you want your church website to be found. One important thing is, one important key to being found is to use search engine-friendly URLs. That means, you know, in the URL that you're using for your web pages, use the words and phrases that people would use for their search. So, this is a simple key, right, that try to use it. So, for example, if you go and search, you know, online church, you're very likely to find us, AP symbology up, you know, on ranked, you know, the number one or number two, you'll find us there. I'm talking about locally in Bangalore, some researchers, you know, online church. So, even if they want to stay home and watch online, we have intentionally optimized our website so that they will find us and they could join us online as well. The other important thing to do is to list your organization in Google Business. Okay, that's pretty straightforward to do. So, we just go to google.com slash business. There, you can add your information and the information about your church or your ministry and when you give your address, it'll show up on Google Maps. So, in some of our search results, you know, you were seeing a Google map with the location of those organizations that met that criteria and also when you list your business, you can put in keywords, right? So, you can say, okay, my business is known for, we provide these kind of services and these kind of things. So, it's a free listing. It doesn't cost you any money. You just do it. They will verify your business. So, they will, you know, either call or they will send a postcard to that address. So, Google has, you know, it may vary locally how they verify it, but they'll verify that you are a legitimate business or registered business. You have that place. So, that is your correct address and they verify it. So, then your business, once your listing goes live, it's a very, it's a free thing. It's not complicated and the other thing is how many, for you to be ranked high, of course, it also looks at how many people have liked your business. So, that's something you need to drive. You know, like the more people have liked you on Google, et cetera, your rank is going to go up higher. So, but that's a simple thing to do in terms of listing your business or it gives you a chance to be found and located on Google map when people search for church or Christian ministry, so on. Another, maybe I'll just cover this last point. Another important thing to do is to try and cross-link back to your website. You know, it's called citation across linking. That means other people are referencing your website. They're linking to your website. That helps increase your overall ranking. And so, there are different ways to do it. You can list your business and, you know, various standard directories like your yellow pages and other sites and directories. You can list it or you can list it in other unstructured citations, articles, blogs, and people write about you. They link to your website that helps increase your overall ranking. So, just, you know, so, away, these are things that you can put your information on and link back to your main website. And lastly, submit your website to Google search console, right? So, you log into using your Gmail ID, log in there to Google search and list your website. Now, this requires a little bit of technical help because they give you a little piece of code that you need to put into your website so that they can verify it. So, you can have your developer do it for you. And so, once you do that, then Google is going to be able to, you know, will crawl your website. And basically, when you submit your website to Google search console, Google will crawl your website and you'll also have a report of what it does, meaning, you know, if your links are broken or something's not right, Google will alert you to it. Now, you don't have to list your website in search console for Google to crawl your website. It automatically will try to pick up everything that's out there. But this helps definitely and you can submit your site map and so on. So, just tell your technical person to do this for you and you can get it up and it's a good thing to do. Okay. I'll pause here. We'll continue this next week. You know, I'm just sharing things with you that would be useful when you have your website so that it can actually serve. It can be useful to your church or your ministry and also useful to people globally. Okay. Any questions before we close for today? So, my question is a very basic one, Pastor, that are we supposed to develop the website or we need some technical or some qualified person to do that? So, if you use example, like we said, WordPress, you can actually, with a little bit of learning, you can do it yourself. It's pretty simple. So, you can set up your own blog or you can set up your own website with WordPress, which is a content management system, and they'll make it easy for you to update your content. So, you can register your domain name. They'll kind of set it up. You know, it'll be set up for you and so on. Now, if it's something that's totally new, then yeah, it's good to get a developer to help you out with it and set it up for you. Yeah. So, I would say maybe initially, you know, it's good to get a developer set it up for you and then if you can learn how to maintain it through using the content management system, then it should be easy to update the content, post new pages and so on. Yeah. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay. Let's close. Could somebody please pray with us and close. We will dismiss after that. Anyone? Good. Okay. Let's try. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this time, Lord, to keep ourselves Lord Jesus and help us to help us to be God, to be a Kingdom Minder and earthly wise Father God. We pray that Lord Jesus this time as we are learning all these technical things, this media. We pray that Lord Jesus help us to know Father God so that it'll be helpful to the coming generations Father God and we can use for your ministry Father God, for your glory Father God to reach out to the people's Father God. Thank you Lord. We submit all of us to your mighty in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you everyone. Have a good evening. Good rest of the day and a good weekend. See you all tomorrow next week. Sorry. God bless. Bye now. Thank you everyone. God bless you. God bless. Thank you.
