Call-In Cafe
Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join others in ministry from across North America for a free hour-long ministry discussion and networking time. 
To get the most out of Call-In Cafe, connect to the conversation using the internet. There is no cost if you use your computer for both the audio and video connection. (Using a headset with a microphone is a great way to connect.) Some may prefer to use a phone connection for the audio portion of the call. For those who prefer to participate only in the audio portion, the telephone number and access code are included on the schedule. The telephone number is not toll free so your only cost will be cost of a long distance telephone call or minutes on your cell phone.
