Expanding Mission Through Skype Church Service

By Essie Osborn


Ministries have turned to technology to reach out to every member regardless of location. This has enabled them to save on travel expenses yet still minister to people who are not physically present. Skype church service enables individuals to experience real contact and give feedback as well. The elderly or sick persons who cannot travel are enabled to participate.

Technology has brought congregants, cultures and countries together. Students in colleges that are located far away from the parish or elderly people in hospices and home are able to participate. Parties serving in conflict zones or out on humanitarian missions are brought on board.

Members of the church can be informed about missions they support in real time. Those in the field broadcast directly to the congregation without third party intervention. They can see progress and impact through broadcast images. A parish is also able to reach out to all its centers and have an all-inclusive community day.

There are logistical issues that ensure that your sharing is quality. One needs to understand the bandwidth of the receiver before making the call. It must be adequate to allow live and non-buffering streaming. Slow internet connection leads to long delays that affect the speed and quality of your interaction.

The webcam and computer used should have higher specifications. A fast CPU supports seamless connectivity. The best webcams are USB 2.0 and fire wire/IEEE 1394 or anything above that. The fire wire converter or webcam may be replaced by a digital web cam. These accessories make it easy to capture high quality images.

The length of cable that gives the best quality is six feet. The speaker should face the webcam in the process of the conversation. Additional lighting is important if the conversation is indoors. It ensures that quality images are captured and broadcast to the receiver.

The positions of your microphone and speaker determine the quality of sound sent and received. This is crucial if seamless communication is to take place between the two parties. It allows both parties to understand each other. Special settings are provided when the conversation is taken on big screen.

Webcams have been replaced by laptop cameras in some instances. This is guided by the resolution and strength, which also eliminates the need to have additional accessories. Video card and fire wire converters are used to send the feeds.

High quality sound enhances you communication experience. The screen, speaker and microphone you use ensure that the conversation on either ends is flawless. These accessories support the internet connection to make the experience possible. Clear vision and sound are important in this process.

The best Skype experience is where technicians on both ends understand the audio and visual options available. It is an incredible tool to minister to members in hospices and distant areas on regular bases. The church connects with members of its congregation in distant areas where they get direct impact of the resources they send or missions they support.
