Why donate to PTM?

We support those who do God's work. We offer websites and technical consulting at prices that let churches and ministries save hundreds or thousands of dollars. These savings can then go into their ministry, rather than into the pocket of a for profit technical company. Technical Services aren't cheap but they are necessary. That's why PTM was founded - to give churches and Ministries an economical alternative.
 
Won't you help us continue to provide thse services? Right now, we are just making enough to pay our expenses. Our staff is currently all part-time volunteers but if we could afford a full-time staff, we could help many more churches and non-profits than we can now. You can make a one-time donation or set up a recurring donation. Even $5 or $10/month would help!
 
 We know times are tough. But they're even tougher for non-profits and churches. By donating to us, you can help us help dozens, maybe even hundreds, of ministries!

Cool Tools Spotlight

Google Apps

Type: 
web - free
Platform: 
Web

We've all heard of Google. In fact, Google has become a verb which means "to search the internet." But did you know that Google offers a lot more than just searching - a LOT more. Want to see how much more - go to Google.com and click the "more link in the top menu. Then scroll to the bottom and click the "even more . . ." link. You will be presented with a whole page of tools and applications that Google offers. Today we will focus on the group known as "Google Apps."
 
Google offers several versions or editions of Google Apps: Premier, Education, Standard, Government & Non-Profit. Today we will focus on the Standard Version and next week we will look at the Non-Profit edition - which offers a bit more. We set all of our web customers up with a Standard Google Apps account when they become Pittsburgh Tech Ministries website customers.
 

 The Standard Edition is available for free and includes Google Docs, Google Mail, Google Sites and Google Calendar. We all know we can get a free Gmail account but did you know you can use Gmail with your domain name? Google Apps Standard let you use Google mail for up to 50 users with your domain name for free. No need to move your email if you move your website. Its easy to add users and you can access your mail from you email program, the web or even your smart phone. Pgh Tech Ministries can help you set up your Gmail with your domain name - even if you aren't a subscriber (but we hope you will consider becoming one!)
