Where there is a will, there is a way!!.
Over the last one year, there has been hardly any Sunday that passed without reports of bomb attacks in churches in the northern part of the country.
But since the beginning of June, it has become a recurring decimal-happening every Sunday.
Perhaps this is what has informed the growth of online churches, especially amongst the Pentecostal worshippers where churches can now broadcast services live on the World Wide Web. This type of internet broadcasting is commonly known as live video streaming or webcasting.
The online church is a purely internet activity whereby members of a church can follow church services live on the internet through live streaming, YouTube and other internet fora such as downloading church podcasts.
The scheduled services are streamed live and users can watch sermons without registering or can register and engage in conversations with other users. On some church websites, there are opportunities to virtually raise hand and answer questions by the internet minister
This operates in such a way that rather than appear physically in church, worshippers can log onto the church’s website and participate in the church activity.
To do live streaming, a church requires a website, a camera, a computer, a media server and internet bandwidth, and experts say it doesn’t cost much: with about N200,000, churches can commence live streaming of church services.
