Live Support: Another Communication-Solution

BobRoberts — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 17:34:41 GMT

A few weeks ago we introduced you to the new “Live Support” feature. I’d like to take a few moments to further explain it and encourage you to use it. It’s a free service that allows you to instantly “chat” with one of the Kids 4 Truth team without installing software or jumping through other time-consuming hoops. Please take a moment to locate the Live Support button at the top of this webpage.

Here’s how it works…

1. You click the green and gray Live Support button: or

2. An entry screen window will automatically appear that looks like this:

3. Once you fill in the fields and click “Request Chat,” the window will become a chat session with a Kids 4 Truth team member:

It’s that easy! Feel free to give it a try right now and say “hello” to one of us!

We want to offer many communication-channels to our users in order to facilitate your wants and needs. Please remember that you can always call us at our toll-free number. E-mails to us are usually answered within an hour or two. Live Support is now another convenient option to help us help you. We have been adding the Live Support feature to several portions of our website, including all the Clubs pages (http://clubs.kids4truth.com). We’ll continue to add it in more pertinent places. I suggest that you encourage parents of clubbers to take advantage of this new feature as they surf and inquire about the Kids 4 Truth program.

Your Servant,

Camp Logos Seminar Training - March 7 & 8, 2007

marrena — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 17:33:00 GMT

Co-hosted by Kids 4 Truth International and Tri-City Ministries

We are excited to announce that we will co-host our second Camp Logos Training Event at Tri-City Ministries in Independence, MO on March 7 & 8, 2007.

If you have ever used the Libronix Digital Library System, we are sure you will agree with Bob Roberts that this is one of the best resources available to Christians. He highly endorses the Morris Proctor Seminars by stating: "I cannot recommend Morris Proctor’s Camp Logos highly enough! Anyone who teaches and preaches the Word will benefit greatly from this awesome “Camp.” After the first 20 minutes of day one, I could hardly contain the newfound energy to study God’s Word using the superior tools Libronix affords. After day one of the seminar was over, I anxiously began putting my new found “Libronix” knowledge to work and heartily dug into Scripture. Wow! What a wonderful time it was to begin to use the Logos/Libronix software to a fuller capacity. I couldn’t imagine that there could be more to learn on day #2 – but there was! In fact, it got even better.

While you are in the area, please feel free to drop by our offices. We are a short 20 minute drive from the seminar location.

Tech Updates

I wanted to write a quick post to let those of you using the Kids 4 Truth Clubs materials that we appreciate the feedback we have received. We currently have a handful of projects going on behind-the-scenes a bit to try to make your experience using the clubs materials and resources all that much easier.

This site - for those of you who have been with us for awhile, you will (hopefully) appreciate the new EquipU site. From the feedback we've recevied so far, the improvements we are seeing are also being seen by the general users. The membership in the site has grown substantially (up roughly 130 members since we transistioned the core platform).

"Live Support" - we've added Live Support to this site (button in the top-center of the header). This allows you direct access to our support staff to assist you with any questions you might have as well as if you simply find yourself "stuck" and unable to locate something. If we are "offline", the image will change and you still have the option to leave us a message.
This Blog - we are making a concerted effort to publish information more frequently to the community and this blog is one of our prime mechanisms for doing so. We also plan on using this blog as a means of letting you know of features and tools that we are working on (sometimes long before they are available) just so you have an idea of the direction we are heading and can plan accordingly

Online Store - we've received a number of comments (both positive and negative) about the online store. We are aware of some of the usability issues and are currently working on a a series of updates to the store that will hopefully ease the process of placing your orders. We don't have an exact date for the launch of these updates, but we're hoping to have something interesting by the end of the calendar year.
Main Website - I know its been a rumor for awhile, but we have a project underway to revamp/re-launch the entire Kids 4 Truth web platform - as you can imagine, this is no small task and is therefore schedule a ways out... look for something in the springtime (altough we may offer sneak-peeks prior to that point).

We've got more to share, but don't want to let all of the cats out of the bag quite yet... As always, we'd really appreciate your feedback and any suggestions you might have for tools and technologies that you'd like to see implemented and available for use in your club. Please feel free to add suggestions either as comments to this post or to the improvments section of the forums (http://equipu.kids4truth.com/forums/62/ShowForum.aspx)
