Church Website Ministry:
Bob had the pleasure of attending the South Central Texas Baptist Fellowship in January. At the fellowship, Bob had the honor of meeting Pastor Bill Keisling from Fort Victory Baptist Church in Crowley Texas. Brother Bill and Bob talked about websites, and it came to light that the domain for Fort Victory Baptist Church had expired (fortvictorybaptistcrowley.com), They had no website, and the domain was published in their literature. Pastor Keisling decided he would like me to register their domain and provide webhosting for Fort Victory Baptist Church. I created a WordPress website for them, and was able to pull their existing content from the previous host.
In January, Bob had the opportunity to meet Dr. Jack (Jacob) and Barb Koons while he was attending the South Central Texas Baptist Fellowship. Brother Jack has a ministry “Promoting the King James Bible” and “Refuting Calvinism and Arminianism.” He presents his work in local churches. In addition, Brother Jack has written a number of books and a great deal of articles on the subject matter. Establishing a website was something that Brother Koons was interested in doing. Following some deliberation, brother Jack Koons settled on the use of the domain name kjvevangelist.com for his website. We designed and developed a WordPress website for brother Koons, and we provided Barb and Jack with a tutorial that was delivered over the phone. Brother Jack has been posting articles on the website, and he has set up the website in such a way that it allows for the promotion and ordering of his books.
