Christian chat and Christian video conferencing for prayer and fellowship  

 
 

 

     
 


Experience Christian Chat as never before - visually, audibly, instantly and dynamically!

Connect interactively in small groups, one to one, or in groups of up to five thousand people at once!

Meet new friends everyday or enjoy fellowship with your everyday friends.

Greetings in Jesus' Name!

I know how much you desire to fellowship with those who share your Christian values.   Getting together for a bible study or joining a prayer group strengthens us spiritually.  Meeting new people or connecting with trusted friends for encouragement and support is essential for our Christian growth.  And let's face it - it's just plain fun!

But time and distance are ever-present obstacles to Christian fellowship.  Everyone is so busy.  Travel is so time consuming and often physically draining.  Distance, hectic schedules, fighting traffic or arranging for babysitters often makes getting together for fellowship almost impossible.

And yesterday's technology is so limiting.  Emails and old style typing chat rooms just don't cut it when it comes to really connecting with others at a deep level.  Telephones don't give us the all important "body language" that can make or break truly effective communication.  Telephone technology limits the number of people we can meet with simultaneously and long distance charges can be exorbitant . 

HANG ON - THERE'S A NEW WAY!

  • Come online today and meet with other Christians in video chat rooms, one to  one, in small groups, or in huge conferences from around the globe. 

FIVE MINUTES COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND MINISTRY

WORLD'S FIRST

Faith to Faith - Face to Face is a world leader in internet video communications.

  • The first public Christian video conferencing / video chat network on the planet.

  • The first company to combine live streaming media with interactive video conferencing technology in one easy to use program. 

  • The first streaming media provider to install an Internet Speed Test for live broadcasting so that you know the exact upload speed from your computer to our Content Delivery Network

  • The first video conferencing company to show the actual bandwidth being used by every participant in the meeting.

Christians from across the globe (some as remote as Tanzania, the Canadian Arctic and communist China) are already using our cutting edge video chat technology.  Major Christian leaders use our video conferencing network to expand the reach of their ministries.  And I’m looking forward to helping you harness the power of interactive video technology to meet your needs as a Christian in the internet age.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY

Experts agree that the most compelling aspect of communication is the visual component.  The age old proverb, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” is true.  That’s why in the coming years video chat is set to supersede email, instant messaging, chat rooms and even the telephone as the communications tool of choice.   

Let’s take a look at email or text chat for example:

When we want to convey a smile this is what we send:  

  or  :-)  or  :)   

When we want to convey a smile in a video chat this is what we send:

     

Need I say more?  And remember, in a video chat the pictures are in live, full motion video accompanied by live audio.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video chat must be worth at least a million! 

LEFT BEHIND? 

I’d like to share with you a vision God placed in my heart over 20 years ago, even before the invention of the Internet.  I heard a famous retiring pastor say that he had only one regret over his many years of ministry.  He explained that when television first came on the scene as a new technology in the 1950’s most of the Church ignored it, thinking the old methods of communication would continue to be just as effective as ever.  But about ten years later, when God’s people finally realized what a powerful impact TV was having on the world, it was too late to make up for lost time.  The Church had fallen so far behind in expertise and financial investment that it was never able to fully catch up.  To this day we have been unable to utilize the power of television to influence the world for Christ with the same effectiveness as the secular world influences our culture against Him.

I immediately sensed God was saying to me, “Don’t let this happen again in the next technological communications revolution.”  I sensed that God wanted His people to be on the forefront of the next communication media, not lagging behind.  I believe the church should be the head, not the tail, when it comes to  effective communication.  After all, we have the most important message in the world to communicate!  Wouldn't you agree?

Now, as members of the Faith to Faith - Face to Face network, you and I do have an opportunity to lead the pack in the present communications revolution.  Everyday more and more businesses, educational institutions, hospitals and government organizations are discovering the power of video conferencing and streaming media.  Let's not be left behind - again!  Let's leave behind yesterday’s communication solutions and embrace tomorrow’s solution today!  Won't you join with other Christians around the globe in this noble cause for Christ?

HINDRANCES

But if you’re like most people in the Christian world today there are two major hindrances keeping you from utilizing this powerful tool: 

  • the vast ethical problems and technological limitations associated with so called “free” video conferencing sites

  • the exorbitant cost and complicated interfaces of the video conferencing networks designed for the business world

FREE SITES

Free video conferencing networks have glaring technical limitations.   The video and audio quality is often very poor.  And you can’t connect with more than one person at a time.  Sometimes you can’t connect at all because of limited bandwidth allocations.  And when you do connect you often expose yourself and your family to shockingly offensive behavior:  nudity, sexual perversion, crude language.  You don’t even feel comfortable leaving the program on your computer because of the danger of your kids using it when you’re not around.  And free sites often sell your email address to third parties who incessantly badger you promoting offensive products and unscrupulous scams.  The “free” sites are actually more costly than you think!  On top of it all there is no technical or customer telephone support.  In fact, you can’t connect with a real person no matter how hard you try. 

BUSINESS SITES

The second major hindrance to accessing video conferencing is the exorbitant costs and complicated procedures of the business oriented video conferencing applications.  They have all the features you want but they are way out of most people’s price range.  Some charge as much as $200 a month per person!  And many of the video conferencing applications require that you have the very latest hardware and nothing less than high speed internet connections.  On top of it all, you sometimes feel you need a computer science degree just to figure out how to use the program once you’ve paid for it!   

THE FAITH TO FAITH - FACE TO FACE SOLUTION 

We have worked hard to eliminate those hindrances and have created a full-featured, high-powered, affordably priced, user friendly video conferencing application for the world-wide Christian Community.   Our network features: 

  • Live video making your contact with others more personal than email or telephone

  • Live audio which eliminates the typing skills necessary in a text chat or email

  • Unlimited numbers of interactive participants in the same meeting so that you can connect with more than one person at a time.  Large meetings with even thousands of interactive participants are possible.

  • The ability to meet with others without a physical location so that you can save energy, money and time and enable people to participate from their home, office, an internet cafe or even a hotel room anywhere in the world

  • An incredibly user friendly interface that enables even novice computer users to participate without a hassle or any technological skills

  • A Christian values based network so that you don’t have to worry about you or your family experiencing crude language or offensive behavior

  • An incredibly affordable membership (up to 90% less than some other networks charge) with no hidden charges.  There is even a one time event membership available

  • Presentation tools such as Whiteboard, Power Point, Application Sharing, and File Share so that you can communicate and collaborate as you would in a physical classroom or boardroom setting.

  • Streaming Video and Interactive Conferencing Combined so that you can stream a live or archived presentation with simultaneous live interaction

  • Video messaging so that you can leave a video message for a friend or colleague instead of sending a boring email or text message!

  • Full interactivity for every participant enabling everyone in the meeting to participate visually, audibly or via text chat

  • Excellent built in help features right at your fingertips so you can solve issues immediately with minimum time and effort.  We even have a video help file on our website so you can SEE how to solve any technical or program help issues

  • The ability to use dialup connections and older computers enabling people anywhere in the world to connect.

  • An Internet Speed Test so that you know the exact upload speed from your computer to our Servers, saving you hours of frustration and wasted time when producing live Streaming Broadcasts.

  • A Bandwidth Measurement Tool so that you know the exact bandwidth speed of everyone in your meeting

  • An experienced technical development and customer service team so that you benefit from years of research and testing in the field of video conferencing communications and experience excellent, personalized customer service

 TESTIMONIES SAY IT ALL 

Craig Chandler of the Concerned Christian Coalition writes: 

"The Faith to Faith technology helps personalize and show support in a way that a telephone call could never do. We are so impressed as an organization that we are promoting this on our website and we do not do that for just anyone." 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Here’s how Vera, one of our members, expressed her experience on the FTF video conferencing network: 

 "Speaking as the mother of a missionary son in China, I can tell you how wonderful it is to see the faces of my family and  to hear the voice of my 3 year old granddaughter saying, ‘Hi Nai Nai and Yeh Yeh (Chinese for Grandma and Grandpa).   I want to see the puppy.’ 

It is so reassuring to us to actually see them and know that they are OK. I am so grateful to Chris for developing this Christian Video Conferencing site for our missionaries who so need that reassurance and contact from people back home. May the Lord bless this project."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phil writes:

“Hi Chris, I hope you, Bill and Mick have caught up on much needed sleep by now. I just wanted to say again how grateful I am for you to all put the time and effort into making the online conference possible. Thank you. Most of us noisy ones in the chat room have swapped email addresses and have kept in touch in some way in the last week. We're all looking forward to the next conference when we can get together again 'live'. Thank you that you used some of the gifts God has given you to expand His kingdom and reach.
