Facebook Live videos will now be deleted after 30 days.

Update: Facebook is updating our live video storage policy and providing new, seamless tools for you to download your live video content. Live videos created on/after February 19 can be replayed, downloaded or deleted for up to 30 days from the time they’re broadcast, after which they’ll be deleted.

As part of this, your archival Live videos will be deleted. This will not happen until you receive a notification from Facebook. Once you receive this notification, you’ll have 90 days to download to your device, transfer to your cloud storage, or convert to a new reel before they are removed.

You can still use Live videos to connect with your audience real-time. And clipping shorter moments from past Live videos and resharing them as Reels is a great way to get more reach from your Live content. Instructions here: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/5576190269101183

We closed 2024 by launching two new websites for our clients. This one is special because of their mission.

By launching Celebrate Recovery in various nations, T.O.R.N. Ministries is seeing individuals find lasting freedom from their struggles, supported by a Christ-centered community.

Their new website helps highlight their international ministry as well as provide a clear call to action for involvement and donations.

Thank you for being such a great group of people to work with! May you continue to impact lives in new nations!

Last week was a "launch two websites" kind of week. This first one is dear to my heart.

⛪️ Last year, the Lord led us to begin pastoring a wonderful congregation in Crescent, OK. It was one of those things that only He could bring about.

🌐 FCC has a huge heart for its community and while most church websites focus on the worship experience, we wanted to focus on the church family and the ways we minister to our community.

✨ FCC's mission is to "Reach the world with the love of Jesus, grow people through connecting them with God and one another; and build the Kingdom through serving one another." Our goal was to reflect this in our updated web design.

If your church or business is looking for an updated web design, we would be glad to help!

This summer, we had the opportunity to work with Hope4Nations to update their website to reflect their refocused vision and mission. This site provides:

✅ A strong call to action to join their mission to fill the gap of "goers" returning home and "goers" going to the field.

✅ Individual ministry pages for their growing international team

✅ Easy access to online giving for various ministries

It is always an honor to partner with organizations that are embracing the call to Go!

We were honored to be a part of launching a website for a new church plant in Alexandria, MN. This church is focused on sharing Christ’s love and grace with people from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds.

Their new website features a highlight of their mission, core values, and beliefs with a simple interest form. It can be difficult to obtain a reasonable Google rank with a brand new site, but this site is already at the top of the page and records a 100 with Pagespeed Insights!

If you are interested in a fresh website for your church or business, we are here to help!

I am excited to see what the future holds for this new church plant! Last month, we set up Planning Center to help them connect with visitors, organize services, and create community through small groups. ⛪️
