Ministry Potential: Apple TV

Recently on the LifeChurch.tv blog some of the potential of the new(er) Apple TV technology was discussed. Basically, to understand what Mac is doing with Apple TV: think iTunes except with television content. You can sign up for feeds/channels and have them downloaded to your Apple TV when they are released – and then watch them on your television.

“What’s the ministry potential?, you might ask? Here are a couple examples:

• Imagine being able to download content to each small group leader before their lead their group – visuals, messages, examples…
• How about downloading Sunday’s message directly to each church members home?
• How about ministering to people who are shut it or in an area where it is hard to get to a church?
• Imagine being able to send video lessons, training classes etc. literally across the globe.
• Churches that do video multi-site (as long as they are not simutaneous) will have an easy distribution ‘highway’
• Television ministries can get people to sign up and deliver extra content directly to them
• The list goes on and on…

We’re not there yet but I think it is important that we get ‘ahead of the game’ and position ourselves to use every outlet possible to accomplish the mission God has given us.
