## Story
It started with an Epiphany.We were having a discussion with leaders in the Christian community in the National Religious Broadcast annual event this year when it dawned on us that many, if not most, Christian churches and pastors are not using the most current common methods to communicate with their congregants: people today use social media, interactive experiences, video conferencing, and webinars to communicate with each other. Churches are still relying on old methods to spread the gospel.Especially now, in times of COVID-19, when many churches are closed, it's time to make a change. Many pastors and churches now realize that they need to embrace digital tools and platforms to be able to engage their members and especially the younger generations. If the church wants to stay relevant as a spiritual and educational institute, even after the days of COVID, it must provide its followers with digital educational content, online live Bible classes, live services through the internet family-safe entertainment. Crossflix Plus is an excellent alternative for the many Christians who are also frustrated with the shows and movies that their children are exposed to by mainstream media and Video on Demand services. Crossflix Plus not only provides these families programs and shows that are in line with their values, but also provides something fresh and new that the others don't have. We have 3D and VR animated Bible journeys and educational programs. Families are able to watch shows or learn from exciting programs. There are 2.2 billion Christians in the world, of which 247 million are in the US. The faith market is worth $1.2 trillion annually. We believe that Crossflix Plus is here at the right time, with the right experience, and with its existing assets it can disrupt this market Globally.

2. **How do you compare to Right Now Media? If they are similar, which I think they are, how do you catch up as they have significant traction in the Christian marketplace? I’m also confused as to what is your focus. Is it Christian entertainment like Pure Flix? Or teaching and tra...**
   - Hello Mike, Thank you for your insightful questions. Let me address them. Our content differs from Right Now media in that we have content from grade school up to pastor level. Furthermore, our content is interactive and uses 3D and virtual reality technologies. We also have a great deal of content that deals with the history and historical impact of the Bible, and not as much focus on specific verses. There is also the aspect of using archeological finds, and other sources that prove or supp...

   - Hi Manuel, These are salient points. Thanks for asking. Regarding the issue of the Christian population in the USA, while it is indeed declining as a percentage of the population, there are two other things to consider. One is that the absolute population of the USA is still growing, so that the actual number of Christians is either holding steady, or slightly declining, when taking this into consideration. In other words, the population grew by 8% over the last decade, so the decline in over...

   - Adam, thanks for being our investor. Recently we have converted the product into Spanish and Chinese, and we are planning to launch into Latin America and China.

## Q&A
- Q: Hi Crossflix Plus team, One of my readers was looking for a review of your deal, and I'm considering writing an analysis at https://www.angelnotes.co —Crossflix Plus looks like a nice idea backed by an experienced team. I've just some doubts about your operating market: According to a 2019 report from Pew Research Center, the decline of Christianity in the US (and religion as a whole) continues at a rapid pace. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic, or "nothing in particular," now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009. Furthermore, the data shows a wide gap between older Americans (Baby Boomers and members of the Silent Generation) and Millennials in their levels of religious affiliation and attendance. More than eight-in-ten members of the Silent Generation (those born between 1928 and 1945) describe themselves as Christians (84%), as do three-quarters of Baby Boomers (76%). In stark contrast, only half of Millennials (49%) describe themselves as Christians; four-in-ten are religious "nones," and one-in-ten Millennials identify with non-Christian faiths. Thanks for taking the time to read me! Sincerely, Manuel Bleve https://www.angelnotes.co
  - A: Hi Manuel, These are salient points. Thanks for asking. Regarding the issue of the Christian population in the USA, while it is indeed declining as a percentage of the population, there are two other things to consider. One is that the absolute population of the USA is still growing, so that the actual number of Christians is either holding steady, or slightly declining, when taking this into consideration. In other words, the population grew by 8% over the last decade, so the decline in overall percentage is somewhat mitigated. That said, part of what Crossflix Plus is trying to do, is to stem the flow of people leaving the Church. The market needs to be addressed, and there is definately a need for Churches to better serve their congregants and potential congregants, and to communicate to them in the ways that they are used to. So, by providing entertainment, interactive and engaging Biblical based games and journeys, as well as a social feed that is in line with Church values, and is a real community - and less virtual - Crossflix Plus helps to stem the tide that you have articulated in your question.
  - A: Hi Manuel, I just wanted to add that we are operating globally. In Africa, for example, where we already have business development and cooperation in place, Christianity is growing, and there are many megachurches there that have shown strong interest in working with us.

- Q: How do you compare to Right Now Media? If they are similar, which I think they are, how do you catch up as they have significant traction in the Christian marketplace? I’m also confused as to what is your focus. Is it Christian entertainment like Pure Flix? Or teaching and training like Right Now Media? Or is it a platform to offer technology to mega churches to help them more effectively minister and evangelize? All these are worthwhile objectives, but very different. I hear some of each in your discussion, so I would like to gain clarity on this. Thanks!!!
  - A: Hello Mike, Thank you for your insightful questions. Let me address them. Our content differs from Right Now media in that we have content from grade school up to pastor level. Furthermore, our content is interactive and uses 3D and virtual reality technologies. We also have a great deal of content that deals with the history and historical impact of the Bible, and not as much focus on specific verses. There is also the aspect of using archeological finds, and other sources that prove or support the Biblical stories. In terms of our focus, we are a platform. So yes, we provide both entertainment, as well as teaching. The platform also provides the Churches the capbility to upload their own content, so that pastors can communicate with their members. It can be shared as well, and we have mechanisms in place to only share content of a higher quality. It is really like a virtual church and community that is both local and global. I hope that this clarifies things for you. Let me know if you want to learn more.
