⚠️ WEBSITE PROBLEMS ON THE OLD WEBSITE ⚠️
Due to security changes we implemented yesterday because of increased bot attacks, our ICF website is currently down.
We're working on fixing it and will let you know as soon as everything is back to normal.
Thanks for your patience!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me @benniamann🙏

🎉 WEBSITE IS BACK ONLINE 🎉
We were able to restore everything with a backup and the website is running as usual again! 🤝
🚨 Important: 🚨
If you made any changes to the website yesterday (content, text, forms), you will need to do so again. Unfortunately, we were unable to prevent this—yesterday's changes have been lost.
We apologize for the trouble and thank you for your patience and support. 🙏
We will also be happy once we have the new website 🚀

⚠️ GLOBAL OUTAGES ⚠️
Various tools such as Asana, Canva, and others are currently offline. And also our ICF website since a few minutes
We do not yet have any information about the exact cause, but we are already working on a solution.

It is now clear that Amazon Web Services (Cloud Server from Amazon) is the cause and is experiencing problems 🙈

🤝 CHURCH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - WHAT SHOULD I USE? 👨💻
In 2017/2018, we as a movement communicated a recommendation for the church management system “Elvanto.” Great product, special ICF discount, and even German as a language option. 🎉
Elvanto has since been sold and has not been further developed for some time. 😢
For this reason, we as a movement are currently searching for a new tool that we could recommend:
⭐️ We have evaluated over 25+ tools
⭐️ We have currently 3 finalists
⭐️ We have a team that tests the new tools (ICF SWB, Munich, Rhein-Main & Herrenberg)
Whats next? 🤝
👉 You can still use Elvanto (There is no official end-of-life). It is still a very good tool!
👉 You are in decision process for a new tool? Contact us so we can update you on our progress
Our goal is to have tested all possibilities by the end of Q1 and then communicate a new recommendation. 🙌

⚠️ FAKE ACCOUNTS ⚠️
Currently, there seems to be an increase in fake accounts on Telegram (especially Leo Bigger & Tobias Teichen) that message people, ask for donations, etc. 🙏
Here's what you can do and communicate to your teams:
1. Raise awareness and communicate in your channels & teams 📰
2. Report & block fake accounts immediately 🛑
3. Train teams & people: Pay attention to the correct spelling of names, Leo & Tobi never make direct donation requests, etc. 🎓
4. If possible, set Telegram groups to private and not public (this allows anyone to find the group and see the usernames) 🔒
5. Adjust Telegram settings (privacy & security) -> Phone number visible only to contacts or no one 🔐
The same principles also apply to Instagram & Co.
Here is a good video from Tobi about that topic (German) 🙏
