Hello Again;
We attempted to add so many new messages in May, that somehow they all didn’t quite make it.. Approximately 2100 were sent but only 1820 were visible.The additions this month are primarily some 400+ sent by StoryBook Lodge Christian Camp, and the balance of those from May. Anyone who browsed through the Ernest Tatham additions in May should revisit that section due to many more being placed there this month.
StoryBook Lodge has a great website at http://www.storybooklodge.org/ A CD set of 4 discs are being sent to StoryBook and this set is also available to anyone who asks. The messages may be requested in the normal fashion through our website or just send us an email requesting “The StoryBook Messages” . They can be sent on one DVD disc to those who might prefer.
Planned for July are additions to the Spanish messages we have and possibly this year’s Park Of The Palms 2008 Conference Season, if they arrive in time for us to work them.
We are continuing to make steady progress on digitizing the big load of messages that were brought from Greenwood Hills some months ago. Many are already onboard,and copies of the resulting mp3 files have been sent there in anticipation of them possibly being available through Greenwood’s site in the future
Please continue to remember this ministry in prayer and share it’s existence with friends.
Warmly In Christ.

Hello Again;
We are late with our newsletter here,but we have received no frantic cries and the world has not stopped because of it.We just say that behind the scenes,things are busy, The coming month of May will be our third anniversary of VFC going online.The site is continuing to do well and we thank the Lord for this.The present burden on our heart is to get the accumulation of messages we have,onboard where they can be accessed.For the upcoming month these are already a reality.

The VFC Voice - March 2008
And Hello Again;
We feel another good variety of ministry is being added for the month of March.Thanks to evangelist Harold Smith,we have now added some messages especially for children.Perhaps thru some enterprising souls,these might find their way into Awana or other children’s ministries.Be sure to check out at least a few of the messages and while there,visit Harold’s several websites.
Planned for April ;
Dave Breese & Robert Lindsted team up for some prophetic conference ministry.
Then assorted ministry by,
Jim Flanigan
Frank Haggerty
George Hall from Ireland
Arnot McIntee
Gordon Reager
Fredrick Tatford
Gordon Wakefield
T.Ernest Wilson……….(Another 60 messages,with possibly more incoming from the Wilson family
Beyond these,we want to start getting ministry online that has been digitized but back logged for a year or more,still needing touches here and there………..such as another 700 + messages from the Bahamas,and almost 300 from Storybook Lodge in Minnesota.
All said,there is plenty of work at hand While here,we mention again perhaps VFC’s most pressing need…..someone to take up the cause for speaker profiles and/or bios.Knowing just some simple basics about a given speaker greatly enhances the interest and enjoyment of his ministry.
Thank you for visiting us and tell others we are here.
Warmly In Christ,

The VFC Voice - December 2007
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

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
