Christian Ministry Beams Jerusalem Sites Live On Internet
When I came across this headline, I just had to check out the Web site offering this service: A Christian broadcast services company has launched an on-line video feed of four Jerusalem sites allowing people to bring the Holy Land live to computers screens the world over (source).
So the Web site is IPrayTV.com. You register, download and install the new Microsoft media player SilverLight (if necessary; and works on Macs, too), refresh the page and just watch… and watch… and watch. There are three mini screens up in the player — the Mount of Olives (Dome of the Rock), Golgotha and something called Flashfloods.com, which appears to usually have some type of ministry playing. The other two streams are rather boring (perhaps depending on the time of day you watch…). That being said, the whole concept is very interesting and perhaps, when things start to get a little “crazy” in these areas, these live 24/7 streams (I believe they are 24 hours a day) may prove extremely useful. What do you think?
From IPray TV’s Web site: I Pray TV, (www.IPray.com) began in 1997 in Jerusalem with a vision of providing ministries with state of the art technology that empowers them to be connected to the center of the universe by live video streaming of the Holy sites. Ministries will be able to share their messages to a worldwide audience while being linked to Jerusalem via live video streaming. In addition to providing the highest quality audio and video feeds over the Internet, we provide ministries with the tools necessary to impact the world to the utmost ends of the earth with the gospel.
