NEW TECHNOLOGY
New technology is available to reach people in the farthest corners of the earth – even without internet.
HOW TO USE ESTANTE AND A WIFI HOTSPOT TO BRIDGE THE GAP TO THOSE WITH OUT A COMPUTER–MOST MINISTRIES CONCENTRATE ON REACHING THOSE THAT ONLY HAVE A COMPUTER TO FURTHER EXPAND THEIR MINISTRY FOOTPRINT
–CURRENT TECHNOLOGY HAS LIMITED THE SCOPE AND PRESENCE OF MINISTRY EXPANSION AND THUS LIMITED THE MINDSET OF WHO IS REACHABLE AT THIS TIME FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
–WITH CHANGES NOW BEING PUT IN PLACE AND THE USE OF AN EXISTING OFF THE SHELF PRODUCT, THE WORLD IS OPENING UP NOW TO THOSE THAT HAVE A TABLET COMPUTER OR A TOUCH SCREEN ANDROID PHONE
–A NEW ANDROID PHONE/TABLET APP IS IN BETA TEST PHASE RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE BETA TEST IS COMPLETED USERS WHO HAVE THE ANDROID 2.3 OPERATING SYSTEM ON THEIR PHONES/TABLETS WILL NOW BE ABLE TO TRANSFER DATA FILES, AUDIO AND VIDEO FILES QUICKLY AND EASILY BETWEEN THESE DEVICES USING THE WIFI BUILT INTO THE DEVICE ITSELF.
–PRIOR TO NOW A MAJOR LIMITATION OF USING PHONES AND TABLETS WAS THAT THEY DID NOT READ PDF DOCUMENTS WELL AND COULD NOT FORMAT THEM PROPERLY TO THE SIZE OF THE SCREEN IN MOST CASES. THAT CAN NOW BE QUICKLY AND EASILY OVERCOME WITH FREE PROGRAMS AND LOW COST PROGRAMS THAT CONVERT PDF FILES TO EPUB FORMAT FILES THAT CAN BE EASILY READ ON MOST ALL PHONES AND TABLETS INCLUDING APPLE BRAND.
–BIBLE SCHOOL MANUALS, THEOLOGY MANUALS, PRAYER BOOKS, LESSONS, TEACHINGS CAN BE QUICKLY CONVERTED INTO EPUB WHICH CAN BE RAPIDLY TRANSFERRED TO THE TABLETS/PHONES OF THOSE THAT NEED THE DOCUMENTS AND NO INTERNET CONNECTION IS NECESSARY. MP3 AND VIDEO FILES CAN BE EASILY CONVERTED TO A SMALL SIZE SO THAT 200 OR MORE SERMONS/TEACHINGS CAN BE PUT ON A 4GB CARD WHICH IS INSERTED INTO MOST PHONES OR TABLETS. YOU COULD PUT 500 BOOKS ON A 4 GB CARD EASILY WITH ROOM LEFT OVER.
–ALL THAT IS REQUIRED TO USE ESTANTE IS A 2.3 OR NEWER VERSION OF THE ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM. CURRENT ANDROID SYSTEMS ARE NOW 4.1 VERSION. ONCE THIS APP IS FREELY DOWNLOADED TO THE PHONES/TABLETS THE DISTRIBUTION OF MATERIALS CAN NOW BEGIN. IT CAN GO FROM PHONE /TABLET TO PHONE TABLET AND KEEP ON SPREADING AS LONG AS THE USERS HAVE ESTANTE DOWNLOADED TO THEIR PHONE. THIS CAN ALLOW MINISTRY MATERIALS TO BE SENT ALL OVER THE PARTS OF THE EARTH THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO INTERNET ACCESS OR TO THOSE THAT CANNOT AFFORD IT. IT ALSO OPENS UP THE SPREADING OF THE MATERIALS TO THOSE WHO LIVE IN PERSECUTED NATIONS THAT HAVE RESTRICTED THE USE OF INTERNET AND THE PREACHING OF THE WORD OF GOD. THIS ALLOWS THE TRANSFER OF MATERIALS BETWEEN BELIEVERS IN A QUIET AND SECURE MANNER.
–ONLY THE LEADER WHO CENTRALLY GATHERS THE MATERIALS TO BE PUT INTO CATEGORIES ON HIS/HER TABLET/PHONE NEEDS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. THAT PERSON JUST VISITS SEVERAL LOCATIONS WHERE DISCIPLES ARE LOCATED AND THE TRANSFER OF MATERIALS BEGINS AND KEEPS BEING DONE BETWEEN BELIEVERS.
–ANOTHER WAY TO REACH MANY MORE PEOPLE AT ONE TIME AND IN A LOW COST METHOD IS TO PURCHASE ONE OR MORE SEAGATE GO-FLEX EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES. THESE DRIVES HAVE A BUILT IN WIFI IN THEM. LOOK UP THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS ON THE INTERNET OR GO TO EBAY.COM AND LOOK IT UP. NEW AND USED ONES ARE SELLING AT A PRICE OFTEN LOWER THAN IN THE STORE AND A COMPLETE DISCRIPTION OF THE CAPABILITIES AND USES OF THE EXTERNAL WIFI DRIVE ARE OFTEN GIVEN IN DETAIL. BASICALLY YOU WOULD CONVERT YOUR PDF FILES TO EPUB FORMATION USING A FREE OR LOW COST CONVERSION PROGRAM. TAKE YOUR MP3 RECORDINGS AND SHRINK THEM DOWN IN SIZE USING ONE OF SEVERAL FREE PROGRAMS TO DO CONVERSIONS. DO THE SAME WITH ANY VIDEOS YOU WANT THEM TO HAVE AND WATCH. PLACE THESE FILES IN FOLDERS FOR WHATEVER TOPICS YOU HAVE ON YOUR SEAGATE GOFLEX DRIVE. HAVE THE PHONE/TABLET USERS CONNECT TO THE WIFI HOTSPOT DRIVE USING THE WIFI BUILT INTO THEIR DEVICE AND GIVE THEM THE PASSWORD SO THAT THEY CAN ACCESS IT. HAVE THEM DOWNLOAD THE MINISTRY FILES THAT THEY NEED OR WANT FOR THEIR OWN MINISTRY. UP TO 8 PEOPLE AT A TIME CAN ACCESS AND DOWNLOAD THESE MATERIALS AND IT IS A RAPID TRANSFER SO THAT A WHOLE ROOMFUL OF PEOPLE CAN ACCESS THE WIFI HOTSPOT AS LONG AS THEY ARE WITHIN 150 FEET OF IT.

EXPAND YOUR VSION, EXPAND YOUR HORIZON AS THE LORD IS NOW ALLOWING THE COMMON PERSON TO BECOME A DISCIPLE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HAVE THE DISCIPLING MATERIALS RIGHT IN THE PALM OF HIS/HER HAND.
