Some of you may have noticed a reporter and a photographer from the Lima Newspaper present at the funeral. Interest was sparked when the funeral director from Chiles called in the wording of my Dad's obituary. They noticed how we stated that the funeral would be broadcast live over the Internet and decided to write a story about web casting a funeral.
The funeral director asked me to call the reporter and when I did she asked me a few basic questions like, "When did we start streaming?" and, "Who set everything up?" I also told her that we knew of friends and relatives in England, Italy, and Canada that would be watching, as well as here in the U.S.A.
As a church we have been looking into running an ad in the Lima News to let the local community know about our church and the online service. It was amazing to see the Lord provide the advertising in a way we never expected.
Here is the link to their story: http://www.limaohio.com/articles/becoming-39382-funerals-lima.html
In the end, after checking the statistics collected from the live stream, there were a total of 534 hits. I never expected a number that high.

Brilliant !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVincent is even in the newspaper, we would joke together about that if he was here. What an impression he has made. The Lord has used his death to promote the church services - wonderful.
This is great! Awesome how God orchestrates things! Too bad they didn't give th church web address! =)
