September Church Update

Dear COH & Friends,

As you know, we here at the Church of Hope have been doing everything possible to make sound doctrinal teachings available to anyone interested. Our current readership is global in scope with people representing the neighboring countries from around the world. The various formats available for our teachings include:

1. MP3- audio can be transferred onto laptops, ipods, flash drives, and memory sticks after the teaching is conducted.
2. CD- a compilation of 30 audio messages at a time
3. DVD- up to three video teachings (avi format) at a time. (HBI classes during Sunday 2nd hr are recorded in this format).
4. Download- link is sent via email so that you can download any of our teachings in mp3 audio format.
5. Ustream- You can join us live during any of our sessions and interact via the chat box. If you miss any of the classes you can log on and watch them on our Ustream link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/church-of-hope

As you can see, one of our objectives is to offer instructional teachings in the most popular formats available. This simplifies things for those desiring to grow in God's Word. I'm especially pleased to announce our latest format: podcasting. You'll be able to subscribe to our podcast using iTunes and similar programs (though we prefer iTunes due to its robust features). Pastor Ryan will be spearheading this new approach and will be the primary speaker for now. He will tackle difficult passages found primarily in the New Testament. In fact, he coined the acronym T.M.T.N.T. which stands for Ten Minute Tough New Testament passages. Every week prior to my message, Pastor Ryan will address various subjects and passages which originates from the New Testament and will conclude his teachings in ten minutes. This will be in-depth doctrinal studies which will be available to our subscribers and archived for those researching on particular passages.

Be on the lookout for the COH podcast! I will email you when this is fully functional and up and running.

Steadfast in the Word,
