 Okay, good morning everyone welcome to the class BC 314 our second lecture for this week on Media and technology Let's get started. We'll have somebody pray and we can get started Put somebody lead us in prayer, please Father we just thank you for this time Lord We come before you Lord and we are surrendering each one of us to your mighty and God Father as we are going to learn about this lady and technology Lord. We ask you that Let your Holy Spirit Lord help us to understand our God So that Lord is through this platform father could we could serve you better way father God We give you glory and all in Jesus. Can we pray amen? Amen, thank you. Thank you run welcome. All right, so We yesterday Just doing a quick walk-through on On websites we were talking about websites how you know we could use that the online platform websites as a way to serve people and So just quickly showing you some of the things that we are doing Any questions on that before we kind of I just now move on to talking about emails and a couple other things that we do But any questions on websites and thoughts on that any questions Okay I'll just move forward now We'll talk a little bit about how we can use emails and other things They you know for digital engagement So we spend quite a bit of time on you know how websites websites very important way medium to Engage people digitally A couple other things, you know emails This is very useful back in time. You know people used to send Physical letters cards those kinds of things. You know you needed you needed to Get people's physical addresses and then you would you know Print letters and put them in envelopes put stamps and send it out. That's how it used to happen But now a lot of that has changed so Email has taken over a lot of that We do mail like if you are mail a book or something somebody wants a physical copy. Yeah, okay We still do use physical mail But a lot of other things happens Through email you can keep you can connect with people inform people about you know various things the church or the ministry is doing and You can also provide encouragement through Email so emails a good way to you know for any church or the ministry to engage with people It's very important and it's good to use it. Well use it Judicially without becoming a problem to people so Some tips one is you know try to get people's email addresses And so like I showed you yesterday, you know, we have a little Simple subscribe thing where they can enter their email and they can subscribe and of course they can unsubscribe from it anytime they want So you make a provision for people to subscribe So we have it both on our bible college website and also our you know apc wards website where people can subscribe or unsubscribe anytime we also Online in our church website. So I'm just showing you that you know a different touch point You can give people the opportunity to Give you their contact details. It's primarily email and mobile numbers Because then you can reach them or you can connect with them digitally, right? So it's very useful back in time. We used to get their physical addresses So please give me your apartment number your street and your city and postal code and all of those kinds of things these days That's not so important if you get their email id mobile number You can connect with them digitally and that is in many case simpler quicker and less expensive So I think of different ways that people can give you or you can collect their information without being a burden to them So example our first time visited form. So if somebody's visiting us Or we tell them hey online you can put your name you can put these things and they can if they want to do it No, we're not forcing anybody to do it But if they do it, we can get their name and mobile number email And we can be in touch with them Similarly, if those want to volunteer a church, you know, we have a sign of form They can again give us their email address or mobile number And they can indicate, you know, where do they want to which area they want to serve So this is again another way for us to get that information It's also a way for them to indicate to us where would they like to serve in church and And and and you know, and then we can interact with them So when people give us this information it goes into our church management system I will show that to you at a later point But it goes in there. So, you know, the data is stored In a very organized way we can then do lots of things with that But let's now just focus a little bit on emails Send emails regularly but judiciously. That means, you know, don't overwhelm them with your emails You know, and then of course you can structure your emails depending on how you wish to communicate. You can use graphics images Keep your content relevant. Keep it short Keep it error free. So this is, you know, I would just want to highlight this that is You know, people don't have too much time these days. Nobody's going to Sit and read long emails with lots and lots of information. No, keep your emails As brief as possible as succinct as possible to the point to say what needs to be said And then also, you know, try to check all the spellings If there if there are spelling and grammar errors in the email It leaves a bad impression now. Sometimes we've done it, you know, it's happened to us But we tried as far as we tried, you know, make sure We keep our content, you know, without spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes Where where where relevant, you know, you can add content add links to your web In the email so they can go to their respective pages Where where you want to direct them Make sure that, you know, emails can be read on mobile devices Because these days many people do emails on their mobile devices may not be always with their desktops or laptops Use exciting subject lines, you know So the goal is you need you want to get them to act or open up and read the email So the subject line should be informative Informative but also it should be something they want to act on But of course don't don't exaggerate. Don't hype it up. Keep it plain. Keep it factual But it should be, you know, something that will get them to act on it Now what we try to do as a rule internally is I tell our team every week weekly maximum So maximum two emails maximum two whatsapp messages to this to us the same Group or list, right? So we don't want to spam people. We don't want to bother people too much So there is a weekly email that goes out, you know, the Sunday sermon just For those people who missed the church or those missed service or those who want to You know Get a link to the sermon so they can watch it or listen to it at another time. So that weekly email goes out That's one email that happens every week And in that email we may also inform about some other things that's The maximum but in addition to that there could be one extra email So we don't want to send more than two emails every week the The only exception is when you know when somebody When there's a funeral like if somebody passes away and We need to send an email to our immediate church community Saying that hey, there's a funeral happening on this this data. Okay. That's that will be the exception When a third email is sent in a week, but otherwise maximum Just two emails normal is one maximum is two In an exception, there'll be three But that happens in not doesn't doesn't happen too often And we have segmented our church email audiences so we can target, you know, okay We want to send it only to you know, certain groups of people so we can segment those email Audiences and so on And you know the usually when whenever relevant I would write the email and You try to set it on optimal days Tuesday, Wednesdays And also give people the option to unsubscribe. So that's also important Now the the key thing here is to be able to manage your email IDs and how do you manage Your email IDs so You can use And email list manager. So I'll just share that with you now. I'll show you also overall how we manage our church data but You can use it email list manager, which is again a free open source Software that's available phblist.org You can set it up easily manage all your email IDs there So let's just do a quick tour of our Main list manager just for you to have a look at it um Let me just share my screen I usually will keep Let me see here. Okay. I think this must be it All right. So this is our list manager again So What we do is we we create different lists um I think this might give us the list of Okay So these are lists of people who attend the different workshops, but generally we would have For example, I'll just give you some example here um So we have uh lists of people by different countries. That means okay. These are people from different countries now This particular list weekly sermon has about 12,000 Some something some 12,000 email IDs um, these are people who Receive a sunday email sunday sermon email. So these 12 it goes to these 12,000 people Then we also have separate by city. So this is a city in In kanadaka. So People there and then then different countries You know, some of them are not many or nothing, but generally we have um This was people who had you know reached out to us during cove it This is past. There's a list of past us. We were taking care of helping So that's another list. So, you know, we've we kind of segment our list um, and then We can we have lists by our locations That means these are people in different locations that we can reach by email um This list may not necessarily be updated, but I'm just giving you a general idea here um then If you want to target Christian leaders, so these are Basically pastors and Christian leaders in various cities um, we in as and when we get we put them there um Then let's see Um, this is this is uh ministers worldwide In different countries again some some are blank But we try to categorize that then we have our bible college um list You know different numbers of all students all e-learning students And so on right so the point is if you use this um, um, this php List that's an email manager You can create various lists or also you can have people subscribe to various lists by by default when you know when people send their Send subscribe they go into this sunday sermon list this public list of They go they go into this list because they've subscribed to this weekly sermon. So that's our biggest list Right, um, then you can you know, you run your campaigns you can send out The emailers So for example This sunday email ever sent out um to yeah to this 12,900 almost 30 000 people as of today You know, you can see statistics you see about 2000 some people have viewed it They're being 1821 unique views 11 bounced For whatever reason but you can see so when you send an email you can also track And I can you know what's happening to those emailers And so on so this emailer was sent to a smaller group of people about 2000 people It's a we just we're having some evenings of worship and you can see what happened here with that list so, you know managing said, you know to you manage emails And uh, you you can you know create different Groupings of your email IDs and then you can target so when we want to send an email You know, I would usually tell the team Yeah, this email needs to go to this particular group, you know, so that means we're not just sending it randomly to everybody But we are sending it to Certain lists of people so if you're going to have a women's conference, then we would send and obviously you want to send an email to You know either to the the women I mean to the women so let's see There will probably be some women's conference list somewhere and Maybe it's here Anyway, it's somewhere Events I think must be here Yeah, so women's conference this will only go to you know This particular group We're targeting just them So so you could target and you can have groups and send emails just to them and see how things are going So this is a useful software to have set up for your church here ministry so you can manage your campaigns manage how you send emails and it's an automated automated system so The you can Easily send emails to that that particular group If people want unsubscribe they can unsubscribe everything is automated. So you don't have to manually sit and send emails to people okay, so Now what we do is Which is another piece to it and I'll share that with you a little later. We have a church management system where All the people are there people's information are there and they are tagged so example is If you want to send an email to the first-time visitors So the moment somebody fills up a form a first-time visitor form they go into a church management system and they're tagged as ftv first-time visitor so We pull out of that database We pull out the email IDs or if you want to send a whatsapp message their mobile numbers of people who are tagged by ftv And then we can send an email just to them right so that's normally how we do it That is we've got a database where everybody's there all the details of the contact details are there and they're all tagged by various tags So we want to do youth or we could say send this email to everybody who's under 35 or between 20 to 35 so we can pull out just that subset of email IDs or You know in in case we're having some sort of a youth camp or something So we can pull out that subset of email IDs or whatsapp numbers and just send it to them right, so That's how it normally works um and so We we take those email IDs put them in the mail list server and from there Send out an email to that subset To that list of email IDs So they kind of you know, they work in tandem with each other um Any questions on this email list server? Okay, russian your question faster is this php list connected to the website or is it a separate uh, uh website um It is it is running separately But it is connected in the sense that when somebody fills up a form especially example Uh, somebody says subscribe to this email list So that email ID goes into that particular list Which is the sermon list weekly sermon their email ID gets added Behind the scenes into that As well as their other details like their name and etc goes into so our website is connected to two different software platforms in the back One is the church management system And one is also the php list So when they fill up a form here the data goes in both the places Right, uh, they're your name address whatever those those things will go into the church management system Their email ID will go into the mail list the particular Subscriber list over there at the back Thank you Okay All right, any other questions on that email list manager so Uh, that's uh in a manner having an email list manager It's a useful tool to have especially, you know, I remember when we started this is I'm going back in time to 2000 From 2001 till maybe 2004 We had email IDs and spreadsheets right And I remember Those days, of course, we didn't have a big it team So when we wanted to send emails, I would group them. I would manually group them in, you know groups of 30 Because if you I think if you had more than 30 email IDs in a in a particular email You know, they it would recognize it as spam and emails would bounce So I would break them into smaller chunks of 30 30 30 30 and then I have to you know, send the same email that many number of times In order to you know, send that email out to you know, so many people So That's what you know, you'd have to do if we you didn't have a email list manager, but now You know 12 13 000 email IDs You can't do that. So you use the mail list manager Just set up an email press it button and it goes to all of them, you know It may within one hour two hours depending on the number of email IDs It's done And then you can you can merge you can have multiple groups. You know, so you say I want this email to go to all these lists. So If you send it to everybody, maybe they're 20 000 or 30 000 email IDs Not sure it will go to all of them, you know, or if you want to send to some particular groups. It's so easy so I would encourage you To set this up for your church or your ministry and make use of it It helps in this whole sending out emails Of course and also giving people the option to unsubscribe if they don't want to receive it It's simple for them to Unsubscribe and it's recorded the email manager that that that email ID has been unsubscribed. So we will never Send another email ID to them unless they choose to Opt in again um Now internally of course within us as an organization a lot of email communication happens As a rule of thumb, you know, of course you want to have face-to-face communication in prefer preference to email communication, but If face-to-face is not possible, then okay, you just you have to use email You know, if you cannot get on a call or something, yeah And an email also helps in documenting those conversations or decisions or plans so that you don't forget what was discussed Use meaningful subject lines keep again again emails keep it short people don't have too much time to read lengthy emails Be courteous people light in your email Don't be harsh don't be rude because remember in email, you know, you cannot really communicate feelings Or other feelings are in many cases Assumed right now when you're talking to somebody face-to-face you can see them you can write, you know see the gestures and The tone of voice and they kind of get a sense of their emotion But none of that is available in the in an email, right? So you have to therefore use words wisely an email I mean they communicating and Try to be polite, you know, you sorry. Thank you. Please that that kind of conveys politeness in in an email so So be use choice of words and remember the formatting of the text Sometimes conveys the feeling so we use caps you use bold and then, you know, you're actually communicating feeling through the format of the text And that reader interprets it, you know, so they could interpret it in a positive way or negative way and so on So keep those things in mind when you're communicating in written form and so The other important thing is in this like engagement is of course text messaging You know, you can use sms or these days people use other message messaging apps So we used to use sms a lot in the past But then we have a couple of years ago I think 2019 I think it is I'm not sure 2019 some new rules came in again. This was this in India That restricted us from sending sms so we could only send bulk sms to people who actually opted in and you know But we have so many mobile numbers and we can't go and then now get them to opt in and do that They've you know, we've already been sending sms to them and so so we had to Essentially discontinue sending bulk sms and now what we do is we send WhatsApp messages bulk messaging to people's to our Mobile numbers to be people's must mobile numbers now, of course this this has A lot of advantage in text messaging because it's short message straight to the phone They're likely to the chances of them looking at it is much higher than email Not everybody would be checking their emails frequently and so on so text messaging is Very useful and nowadays you can include images links videos as well in text messages Short messages that we send out So we let people opt in opt out of our messaging We used to use These guys for our sms's, but we discontinued that we're now using WhatsApp To broadcast our messages And of course people can respond to it. It goes to an account somebody checks those messages in response to it and they can also Stop anytime Which means they can opt out of it Here's just an example. Look, of course, this is from 2022 so A WhatsApp message it goes out of our Our church number We can you know use a nice graphic we can This was the release of a Hindi song So there's a link to the youtube video and And so on so forth So just, you know, it's nice to be able to communicate through WhatsApp So I would encourage you. So that's another thing you can think about In setting up your Messaging for your congregation very quick, you know, we keep people notified Of events that are happening So we send in WhatsApp message from there. They can register for the event They can do a lot of things So they can go watch a video or whatever. So make use of it Of course keep in mind certain things when you're Sending out WhatsApp messages Don't use large image files. Keep them. Make sure they fit well in the The screen size that you're working on um and Or same thing with videos if you're sending out videos keep it short People don't have too much time to watch long videos Or if you are if it's a large video send a link to it so they can watch it if they want All right Just a few other things I just want to cover here Which I think many of us are familiar with virtual meetings, you know, this is great these days, you know Yeah, and we are kind of forced to use it during the pandemic and then now There's still some benefit in it. So you could use You know virtual meetings a video calling and so on for Meetings or even people attending your events And engaging with people and so on so Uh continue to make use of it. So we uh, we continue, you know, uh, even though We kind of more or less out of the pandemic And we continue to make this as an option available. So um for those who cannot attend in person they could attend Let's say a worship evening or they can attend a weekend school They can attend on zoom So at least they get some some amount of input It's not the same thing as being in person. We understand that but at least it's A second best option they can connect to that event online and so That's also a useful thing and just um in a simple guidelines um If it's a private meeting keep it private use passcode um Manager screen sharing energy probably lighting Till you know microphone management so on so forth Okay All right now let's go to something interesting Maybe I'll pause you and see if there any questions or comments before we get in with this next topic any questions so far okay so In addition to Our websites what we can also think about is If you have digital content um um You can use Digital distribution channels To get your content out to people So for example, uh, you know, of course, we know ebooks We know videos can go out on youtube facebook instagram so many other digital platforms mimeo um So I would encourage us to think about distribution So in addition to our books example are the pdf's being available on Our church website where people would come and come and collect free data These books are also distributed for free on various channels right so um amazon I'm just giving some examples here So our books are being distributed on various channels. Maybe not all of them are mentioned here, but amazon apple iBooks bonds and noble cobo um google playbooks uh, so these are all um Distribution channels through which You can have your digital content distributed Right, so I would only encourage you to think about it now. This is for ebooks. Similarly, you can think of your audio which is podcasts Whether you want to put it out on google podcast or Apple or Spotify, so we distribute it on all of these channels. We make it available so While these are content is available on our website In addition, it's also automatically pushed out through all these channels uh, which means that There will be people who are reading our books or listening to our content On those channels, they may not they won't need necessarily to come to our website to to Get access to that content, but it's coming to them on the platforms that they may be comfortable with so It's also pushed out these mp3 files are sermons and are pushed out on all of these digital platforms So think about and and many of these are actually free, right? So it doesn't cost you anything um to set up a channel on Google or it you can make your resources available for free and that's what we do. We don't charge For we don't charge for any of our resources So we actually push them out for free Through all of these channels just to give a wider reach for those who are interested and people are searching for certain topics They want to listen to sermons or read books on those topics. They may be able to find our resource and read it It's just making it available accessible Same thing for videos. Uh, we are all familiar with this youtube and uh, vimeo and of course Facebook instagram So on you can push your videos your digital content out on on these platforms Okay um And yeah, the last thing is our church app. I think um Many of you may have seen our church app um So, uh, you know I don't want to walk through it now So the church app is also another platform Through which we can deliver content to people we You know, some of you may have downloaded our church app and so it's a it's a useful resource People have it on their phone and then you know, they could Listen to our Sunday sermons a daily devotional and then there's a lot of other text content that they could have access to So it's a great way for us to be able to serve people as well You know When we when we set up a church app or when we launched a church app, this was in 2017 We actually used a third-party Uh platform it it's called custom church apps So it was easy for us to put it all together like we didn't have to build the app from scratch And so custom church apps you can just go and configure your app and Link it to the content you wanted to deliver and provide it to graphics and you're ready to go So we were able to build it very quickly um But as of you know, we just got news that There's some reorg happening with that entity. It's a us-based entity. So um The cost of it is going up by three times some some other organizations taking them over and all of those kinds of things are happening so We are in a more we're in a time where we will have we decided to build our own Because we don't want to pay three times the cost of what we've been paying To run our church app So that's kind of a little issue there But what I do want to point out is that there are platforms where you can I'm talking about christian service providers who Can help you launch your app quickly That's one way of doing it Except that, you know, it's it costs quite a bit of money The other option is to build your own and I think If you get a good developer Today these days you can build apps very quickly You know I was I was talking about 2016 which is about 2017 which is about Or when we started the project was 2016. So I was talking about seven years ago when we started doing it To build enough from scratch Was was a lot bigger effort and so we chose an easier approach which is to use a service provider But here we are 20 23 six years six seven years later Hmm the tools have evolved. So it's much easier to build your own app and launch it Yeah, so just you know, if you get somebody a developer to Who knows how to build your app You can design it tell them and this is what I want to deliver and they'll be able to put something together very quickly for you And that's that's an easy thing to do and the advantage of a church app is You know, you could again. It's another way for of digital engagement with your audience and then again you can think of How you want to design the app what what do you want to deliver to people through the app? What kind of content you want to do what you want to achieve through the app, right? So If it's just targeting your immediate congregation, you will design it a certain way If you're thinking of a wider global audience You will design it a certain way. So our approach was okay. Let's go for a global audience It's not going to be specific to our congregation So the way that app is designed and what resources we're making available through that app Is meant for anybody and any believer right can download an app and use it. So it's not specific to our local congregation So you could you could decide decide how you want to position your app and Now what you want to do with it? Okay Any questions here so far? Okay, everybody's very quiet. I don't know if you're You're finding it interesting or is it boring? That's okay Okay Thank you All right, so so far everything is good. Okay right So I just want to So no questions. Just learning. Okay fine. All right. So I want to just Maybe just give a little intro to Our church management system And then we'll we'll of course we'll have to do a lot more so we'll pick it up later as well So so we're talking about digital platforms. I just introduced this to you today and then we will pick it up next week One of the things that that would be useful Is to think about how You can manage Your congregate data of your congregation, etc. And and you know, so so I would just point you to I'm not saying this is the only product that's available But this is a product that we have been using It's an open source product It's called rock rms If you go to rockrms.com Okay So rock rms. Okay relationship management system rock rms It's a church management system Okay, now, of course, they have a paid version So you could get a paid version or you could use their free open Source version, which is what we are doing. Okay So lots of churches use this And let's see now and they have a lot of they have a lot of Support documentation Yeah, so let me yeah, so you could you could get their free version I think okay, this is their their cost and so on so forth Um, but I think they have the free version available Yeah so if you go to if you go to um community and from their community side you will get access to Their free version and you can log you just register with them and you download your free version So they are free version and of course they have a paid paid version paid service and all of that But anyway So we are using their free version We set this up some years ago and Just quickly show you a few things. I don't know if I've already shown this to you. But anyway Did I already show this to you? I forget No positive. Okay. Okay All right, so this is our church management system So I've just logged in and as soon as I log in I can see people's birthdays today Okay So what I would normally do is I would send them a whatsapp message People that I know this person is from our bible college. So usually I bible college people I I don't know, you know, we don't everybody personally because They could be an online student so on so I may not send them a greeting But I would send, you know, so today this later this afternoon. I'll send these two people a greeting Just wishing them for their birthday And similarly you can see, you know, whose anniversaries are there and Yes, and any of our staff birthdays so This is a nice thing to have right to you have people and then of course we have somebody from our church We send them a birthday gift and somebody will call them and all of that. So It helps us facilitate that and Then you can search for people right? So if I I don't want to expose people's data But generally, you know, if I search for myself I just then I can see You know, there's so many of them and that's me so I can see myself here Um, and then there are a lot of other people with the same name So you can search for people you can you know, suppose. Hey, I need to call so and so person now remember this Access to this is restricted. It's only Uh Some of our pastors who have access to it and A couple of I think one or two others who are serving under member care. That means they're taking care of our church people Others don't have access to it Right, so it's not like everybody's going to be checking on people's data But I'm just showing this as an example, right? So I can search for somebody Um, I I can immediately, you know, get all the details and these are the tags You know that we can tag people So if I want to send an email like to all the people or husbands, then I can you know, pull people out Our husbands from here Um, so on so forth, right? Um, you can see their family. So they're really, you know, what the people connected to them Uh, we can look at that information as well We have their address here. Of course, all of this can be edited You know, and I can click and then Of course So here we have people for various things. They will add comments here. So when people are working On you know, so we have some people working. They would Add a comment here towards this or if I need, you know, if I'm if I need to add a comment towards this person I can always add a comment here. Usually it's the people are doing member care calls. They'll say called and spoke to this person on this date Wish them for their birthday. So, you know, when I go in, for example I'm just going back to this. So for example, uh, when I click on this person I I will be able to I I usually look and see if Um, uh, a call had been made to that person to wish that person for the for their birthday Right, so that's useful for me because I want to make sure that that's being done If it's not being done, then we will say, hey, you know, so and so, you know, you're handling member care Why why didn't you call what happened? So on so that kind of information let's just go back to that kind of, you know Information is put here. So we know when was the last contact with that person from the church office That's that's uh, put in here Then there's other information. We're not using all of this yet But there's a lot of other things we can do we for those people who applied for membership You know, of course, uh this This details will be kept here Usually when they fill up their application membership application form it comes here so, uh, we know okay since when have they become members of the church and so on The bc profile is a bible college profile. So when somebody applies to bible college Their application form etc. So they get they get created as a person in this system and they So even for bible college, we use a version of this Of course, everything is tagged as bible college And their application gets attached here Right now. We're not using contributions and all that. We're not using that Um We did use for example benevolence the money that we gave out to help people We use that information during our During the covet times when we sent money out to help people around the church around the country That information would be stored over here so So this is just you know as far as this person is concerned now a lot more can be done You know, if there are life groups, we can add that person to a life group And so on.
