And Hello Once Again;
Well,we are late posting this newsletter again……..no one has complained……..but we do feel better when proposed goals are met.The reason for our tardiness is just being almost swamped with good things that need doing.The current major emphasis is to actually do……..rather than to comment about doing. So less talk and more action is the prevailing mood.
To elaborate a little……the effort is to get the sizeable amount of messages that have accumulated ,out of being stored in computer folders and onto the site.The hinderance as to how quickly that can take place,has been a combination of several factors.
1-First,we needed more space…….and now that is a reality.
2-Most of the material is in need of final touches of preparation.
3-This preparation is ongoing and gaining ground.
We hope to be adding a good library of C.M.M.L. Conferences in January……..also on the way are approx 200 additional messages by Donald Norbie,including an indepth series on Church History.
These items are just the beginnings, so keep an eye on us as we move along,and we just ask that those who visit here,share our existance with others.
Warmly In Christ,
The VFC Team

The VFC Voice – November 2007
And again,Hello to All;
There is so much to be thankful for that we would likely miss something in any attempt to cover everything.We are now on a new server,with double our original capacity for storing and sharing ministry. And currently there are somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000 tapes here that as of yet are still to be organized and digitized.To that amount of unworked material can be added 7,000 messages which are already finished except for final details of audio touch up and correct naming.There is no desire to “brag”
concerning lots of content…..but to say that the ongoing purpose is to share a growing library with all who are interested.
Sometimes we feel that progress is slow,but actually not necessarily so,considering our limited manpower.
One aspect of things that we might elaborate on just a bit,is the ever increasing technology around us.The internet itself is ever growing with more and more connectivity worldwide.Also the ways of sharing information via a growing array of players continues to increase.An example being the well know Apple Ipod which now can hold almost 160 gigabytes of audio files.Currently as of this writing,Voices For Christ files amount to approx 125 gigabytes…………so in effect,this implies that everything on the VFC site,can now be transported about and heard from a shirt pocket.We well remember just within the past few years,a van load of cassettes and reels delivered from the state of Kentucky,and a pickup truck loaded waist high with tapes from Florida,and most currently 18 plastic tubs containing 600 tapes apiece,from Pennsylvania.
Also on the agenda is a redo of the site with better ways to present and access the contents.So bear with us along the way,and anticipate good ministry to enjoy.
Warmly In Christ,
The VFC Team

The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
Our podcast message of the month for November 2007 is by brother A.P. Gibbs. His subject is The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins found in Matthew 25:1-13. Brother Gibbs is teaching in this instance to a group of children and the gospel message is especially clear. The audio quality is quite good considering this was recorded sometime in the 1950’s. We hope you enjoy this message and please visit the website at http://www.voicesforChrist.org/ for more like it.

New server
We are on a new server! This message proves it! We are now running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x64 on AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 4200. We have a lot more memory and a lot more disk space than before and with the newly upgraded operating system base we plan great things in the coming year!

The VFC Voice – October 2007
Hello Again To All;
The new messages this month are the first installment from the Two Roads Radio Archives by Jeff Buckles and Mike Moody.We hope to add additional messages to these soon,as well as platform ministry also.
Behind the scenes,the newest news is that all looks well as to our soon move to more server space.
Currently VFC purchases space on two 80 gigabyte server hard drives.Both of these drives are almost completely filled.The planned soon coming move,possibly in approx 30 days,will be to two 160 gigabyte drives,thus doubling our space and allowing continued growth.At present we are drawing close to the 30,000 messages pointPerhaps a question might be,how much does VFC plan or want to grow? The answer is,we want to be constantly adding material if it is offered to us.There are some ideas along these lines,such as expanding with more French,Spanish and Portuguese ministry.One of the biggest current needs is in the area of speaker profiles and/or biographies.If someone wishes to help,please let us know.
The door is open,the necessary technology already exists,and the desire to keep building is resident. We have the greatest message the world has ever known,The Gospel Of Jesus Christ.Lord help us to share that message far and wide.
Warmly In Christ,
The VFC Team

The VFC Voice – September 2007
Hello Again To All;
All new messages this month were donated by Park Of The Palms Chapel in Keystone Heights,Florida. These are the 2007 Conference season.
Other news is that overall things are going well,new ministry continues to arrive,and outgoing ministry continues to be shared thru site downloads and messages requested to be sent on discs.The outlook appears encouraging that we will be able to increase our server space,possibly without a resulting increase in costs.
We will likely have more to say on this in days ahead.
As usual,please remember us in prayer,and share the word that we are here.
Warmly In Christ,
The VFC Team

Hello To All;
The new additions this month were donated by John Phelan of Nashville,Tennessee.The radio ministry of Rush Hour Relief and Chapel Time aired for 25 years .The original recordings on reel to reel tapes survived a house fire and came close to being lost,but survive they did,and are now preserved.
For September we hope to add this year’s Conference Season messages from Park Of The Palms in Florida.
The Park website can be visited at www.ParkOfThePalms.org
Please continue to pray for us and tell others of the Voices website.
