rAVe HOW [House of Worship] — Volume 12, Issue 3

February 10, 2023 | Volume: 12 | Issue: 3

Welcome back to another edition of rAVe HOW! In our first February edition of 2023, I’d like to draw your attention to Kayye’s Krystal Ball, which is finally here! Give a read to his 2023 edition, #AVtweeps.

Also, Rob Voorhees writes about the importance of bandwidth for houses of worship, as many of you know. He writes about some bandwidth options even if you work with a church or other HOW in a remote or rural area.

Finally, don’t forget to check out our ISE microsite now that we’re back in the states!

And P.S. If you want to really see our favorite products on the show floor, don’t miss rePLAY ISE 2023 Feb. 15 at 2 p.m. CET and EST. (That’s right — TWO sessions!)

P.S. Don’t forget to answer our February Temperature Check survey!

COLUMNS

+ Kayye’s Krystal Ball: 2023 Edition [Gary Kayye]

Welcome to my 23rd annual Kayye’s Krystal Ball! I wonder if this will be my last … are you bored yet? To think I have been opining this column for 23 years is stunning to me. I am humbled by your loyal readership, and I continue to be amazed by how many of you read it (as well as how many of you tell me you use it to guide decisions on up-and-coming new companies and tech). Thank you for the support, #AVtweeps. #LOVE .

+ Streaming Into the Future: How Bandwidth Needs Have Expanded for Houses of Worship [rAVe Team]

Houses of Worship rely on some of the same factors as those other verticals do, but the impact can be overlooked if you are not able to predict the future. To survive, these places of worship must keep their doors open for the community and be able to spread their message to the congregation. Shutter those doors due to a global pandemic and the message risks getting lost.
