Live Internet Radio and Bible Studies
Welcome to Olive Branch International Radio. If you have been to our site and looked for our program lately you will know that we have not been broadcasting. We have had some phone struggles. We are going to be back up soon. Keep checking back for updated times.
A new endeavor we are testing is live streaming of certain bible studies. We have had ongoing relationships with people around the country and many have asked about how to be "with" us. We will be offering the live stream here on our player and for anyone who would like to talk to us you can also join us through Skype. Check out the Skype page for details on how to connect.
We also have a new streaming provider. We have been working closely with Endis which is an organization that provides website content management services for Christian organizations. They recently changed their streaming supplier to Akamai, a world reknown leader in content delivery. This update has given us a wider range of capacity and has also brought an update to our player so that anyone with an iPad or iPhone will now be able to listen in.
Please don't forget that our shows are live call-in programs, so if you desire to talk to the host(s), please listen carefully for the number during the show and you can call in and share, ask questions, or ask for prayer. Shalom!
Additional Info
God has made it possible for us to grab hold of some very nice equipment in the past five years in order to do all the audio work that we are doing now. We have been asked by some visitors about our equipment and the costs that have been accrued to put it together. If you desire to help you can look at the list and then send us an email about any item you wish to help on. Then just donate through the PayPal account and we will apply the money to the specific item. With that in mind, here is a list.
- Purchased two microphones and three desk mic booms. Approximate cost = $380.00 PAID
- Purchased a new 15" MacBook Pro laptop for all our streaming and recording duties. Cost = $2300.00
- Purchased various cables, headphone hub, direct boxes, and a battery backup. Approximate cost = $400.00 PAID
- Purchased a phone interface called the Innkeeper PBX. Cost = $400.00. PAID
- Enrollment with our streaming provider, Endis, was $220.00 (PAID) and our monthly cost is $75.00.
- We finally got to purchase a new camera. It is a Nikon D5100 DSLR. It does both still photos and video. It is a very nice item and we are already getting it up and running. Praise God!. Cost = $1200.00
- We just purchased a new set of mics and stands so that we can better record our teachings and also begin the exciting process of bringing in visitors to our services via skype. This purchase was $300.00
That covers everything. We will update as we pay off these items so you know how G-d is moving in our midst. Thanks and Shalom.
