“I started ROAR two years ago with this is mind. I was a pastor for 10 years. The message of the gospel needs to be in our hands with a device we use all the time,” McKee told The Christian Post.
Mckee told CP his purpose is to give and help churches spread the word using the latest in technology.
“Non profits are the heart of a community. They focus on people, but sometimes have a hard time including technology,” McKee added to CP.
Typically, only the biggest churches and nonprofits could afford the $30,000 cost of hiring a firm to build them a custom mobile phone application.
"A nonprofit mobile app can help organizations of all kinds communicate with their volunteers and increase donations. A church mobile app can connect members to their churches through sermon podcasts, event updates, and social media all in one place -- their phones," McKee added in the press release. "We encourage churches and nonprofits to give away their apps for free as a way to establish loyalty and goodwill."
