Dear
SDA staff & members,
Jesus return is all our hope.
In order to quicken his return, our
church members have already built
thousands of Internet sites to spread
Gospel. Because of too many sites
around, every body is doing on their
own way. We would like to give some
suggestion and solutions in here.
Bad
points about present sites:
-
Many church sites are
contracted to commercial site builder.
They are usually not Christian.
Commercial style sites usually are
very cosmetics; it has active music,
flashing icons (which is not too
respecting to God), hidden buttons,
etc. Browsers went into these game sites can
get lost easily as in a maze. Many of
our sites have little Gospel value.
-
Some sites are just a bulletin
board.
-
Some site are attached to
commercials, they could be marketing
something, which do not agree with our
doctrine. (I have accessed many of our
church sites which can pop out a small
window to offer you a monkey shooting
game to win $20, or an on line poker
game)
-
Many sites have names which are
too difficulty to remember.
-
There are just too many
repeated sites. Repeated site can
separate people similar to split a
family into several group.
Our
proposal:
-
Create a site naming system.
Such as
http://your_language.adventist.org/,
http://education.your_language.adventist.org/,
the word your language will be
replaced by the word such as Chinese,
French, and so on. Advantage of using
this naming system is when we
advertise for our site, one line will
be good for the whole world’s site.
-
Sites should not have country
border, because Internet have no
border. We should use only language to
distinguish our differences, because
we cannot break through the language
barrier.
-
All church members and
non-member should use their gifted
talent to participate. No knowledge on
computer is required.
-
Each language site will appoint
a group of volunteer to manage it.
These volunteers could be dispersed in
different countries, but speaking a
common language. People can work
together through Internet with
nowadays technology.
-
Provide training to church
members how to utilize Email to spread
Gospel.
-
Provide training to volunteer
members to make sites of their own
languages.
-
Provide training to selected
volunteers to run web servers.
-
Run our own server to reduce
operating cost. It will have unlimited
disk space to accommodate multimedia
evangelism broadcast.
-
Establish an Internet broadcast
and training head quarter. Proposed
site is on Cityplace, near Skydome,
Toronto, Canada. These apartment
buildings have state of the art
technology facilitate with fiber
optics.
-
How to obtain money for such a
big project?
Volunteers
will build the sites. Money saved
by not paying professional can be
used to purchase hardware.
Only
one domain name is required, money
will be saved on eliminating
thousands of un-necessary
registration.
Running
our own server can cut cost on
leasing disk space from ISP.
Surplus
disk space, and bandwidth can be
leased to commercial.
Surplus
labor can be used to build website
for commercial.
Commercial
advertising is acceptable to
education, health, and alumni
site.
We
can market health food, bible,
books, videotapes, etc in the
shopping site.
-
Multiple mirror sites and
server will be run in every continent,
to provide easier access and to
prevent blockade. Server in
different location will replace
blocked server instantly.
-
Provide free name server
service to all existing site. All
existing sites will have new names,
while the old names will still be
valid for a very long time until
change over complete and satisfactory.
-
Link repeated sites together,
such that people can live closer
together rather than being separated.
-
On selecting the best sermon in
the site. We will make a 50-hour
multimedia CD. This CD will be
distributed in large quantity free.
The cost of producing such a CD is
only US$0.25 each.
-
For people who do not use
computer, we will produce a 74 min
audio CD for them.
-
These CD will be reproduced in
different languages.
Please
visit our sample site http://sda.hitechemall.com/.
This site has 100 hours of
evangelism, sermon, testimony, music,
etc. We will also have children story,
bible study etc. in the near future. This
is a workhorse site. It is full of
Gospel values. Please also visit
http://education/hitechemall.com/
http://health.hitechemall.com/
http://samyuk.hitechemall.com/
these sites are linked to each other.
For visitor went into our religion
site could be caused by accident,
because of browsing other linked
sites. This site is running by our own
web server. It has unlimited disk
space. The operating cost is near zero. Volunteers designed this site,
no money ever spend. Our site is
temporarily officially representing
North America Chinese Churches. We
hope in the near future will represent
world wide Chinese churches. This site
is temporarily attached to a
commercial domain name.
It
will be replace by
http://chinese.adventist.org/
http://www.chinese.adventist.org/
http://education.chinese.adventistg.org/
http://health.chinese.adventist.org/
http://samyuk.adventist.org/
if
General Conference agree.
Advantages
of Internet:
-
After our sample site has been
launched. We have already experienced
church members instead of struggling
for political power, are competing for
the truth in the bible and quality of
performance. They understand
performing well on the sermon, music,
children story, etc., will be rewarded
in the Internet.
-
Church members feel closer
relationship all over the world
because there is no longer a country
border.
-
Retired Pastors has become
active again, because they realized
they would be remembered in the
Internet.
-
Reduce misunderstanding between
nominations. Other nominations can
hear our sermon and understand our
doctrine without being scare of fellow
church member.
-
People afraid of going to
church or donate money will be able to
visit our evangelism at home.
-
We can spread Gospel without
leaving home.
-
Increase church membership.
-
Church offerings increased.
-
Church members are more
co-operating.
-
Disabled person will no longer
miss the Sabbath.
Satan
has already done lots of actions to
stop our plan. All volunteer’s
computer have already experienced
fatal accident. Our volunteers have
arguments on small things amount our
own people causing lots of delay. Our
name server in California had been
blocked out for a long time. Our routes
had been totally isolated. All cities surrounding
our city had experienced transmission trouble. If you cannot
access to our site. Please try again
every day. We have a CD ready for your
evaluation because of transmission
trouble. Reply this mail to request a
sample CD. All of these things cannot
be happened by accident or caused by
people. Satan’s work indicated our
aim is correct, the importance of our
job, and the existence of God. Please
gather together and get volunteers to
build a site of your own language.
Please relay this message to all
members of SDA. All actions please get
approval from General Conference proir
to be committed,
because this is a worldwide teamwork.
May
God bless all of you.
Yours faithfully
Michael Tung

proposed domain www.chinese.adventist.org
