As of 06 July 2018, the DAT Ministries (DATM) website has undergone its fourth change to the Content Management System (CMS). Unfortunately, with each CMS change comes a period of messiness. If all goes well, I should have the website’s existing content re-loaded by the end of the summer. Our website hosting provider, BlueHost, suggested that I employ the services of UpWork to help transfer the content from the old CMS (liveSite) to the new CMS (WordPress). That costs money and was a non-starter. So I will transfer content the manual way; one keystroke at a time.
Nonetheless, the website is out of the maintenance mode and is now once again live. I have some quick housekeeping to attend to on the few pages that have been re-launched thus far. Over time, more pages will be added until the website is totally rebuilt. For now, let the fun times begin!
DAT Ministries sure has come a long way since the domain purchase on 11 April 1999 and the subsequent launch of the website on 24 May 1999. It is simply awesome to think that next year will be DAT Ministries’ twentieth year in online ministry or better called eMinistry. My good friend Andrew Carega wrote a book titled eMinistry: Connecting with the Net Generation that discusses in-part what we do here at DAT Ministries. It is a great book to read with lots of information about conducting online ministry.
God bless you all and thanks in advance for putting up with my mess while I shift through the new construction. Stay tuned as I will be posting about Ministry in the Christian faith, my terminal illness known as the MELAS Syndrome and my hobby of Amateur (Ham) Radio.
That will be a wrap for today. You all have been great. I especially appreciate the eMails from folks that either let me know how this ministry has helped them or sent me ideas on content that I could publish. With that, I leave you by speaking this blessing over you:
“I pray that the Lord
will bless and protect you,
and that he will show you mercy
and kindness.
May the Lord be good to you
and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26 (CEV)
