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.
Warmly In Christ,

Hello To All;
The new message additions this month by speaker Ken Baird,were donated in cassette tape format by the Baird family from Iowa.There was not quite enough time to get an accompanying profile in place ,but one should be forthcoming in days ahead.
Working with these messages has been an enjoyable experience.We find the ministry almost addictive in a sense.Hence we say,if you are a visitor to this website,please don’t leave without at least sampling some of these messages.And we add that in the preparation of these,we did three separate “sets”,each identical other than the introductory and ending theme music.To explain a bit,let’s call these “sets” Set A - Set B - and Set C.
1-Set A….These are the messages now on the website…….the theme music is found on the first message in each series only.
2-Set B…..These have the theme music included on every message,and can be requested as a mp3 cd if wished…Just request Ken Baird Set B.
3-Set C….These have the theme music ommitted altogether……..they can be requested as Ken Baird Set C.
Next month we hope to add more former radio ministry…….this time by speaker John Phelan,of Nashville,Tn.
Other recent arrivals have been many messages by Ernest Tatham,one of the Emmaus founders.Also several years of conference ministry from Ramseur N.C. are being prepared.Then spread out over the coming months,we hope to work with the many years of recordings sent from Greenwood Hills,and we have not forgotten the balance of messages still to come from the Bahamas archives.
All we ask is that you remember us in prayers,and share the existance of the Voices For Christ website with friends.

The VFC Voice - May-June 2007
Hello To All;
We at VFC have been blessed abundantly with new incoming ministry to prepare for the site. Approximately 11,800 tapes arrived from Greenwood Hills Conference Center in Pennsylvania.
Just trying to get these into some degree of order is a major undertaking.In addition,as previously mentioned,reel tapes of radio ministry by John Phelan in Tennessee also has arrived and converting the messages to audio mp3 files is well underway.Further radio ministry is expected at any time,this time from Iowa.These will be several hundred cassettes of broadcasts by Ken Baird.So we can heartily proclaim,that the Lord has blessed above and beyond that which we asked.
With so much preparation work at hand,we find it hard to keep up the pace of getting new material onboard every 4 weeks,therefore we feel forced to take a short break in that area,and devote all efforts into
dealing with the incoming flood.With over 28,000 messages already on the site,there seemingly is no lack of ministry for the present.At last check,over 10,000 messages per month were being downloaded from VFC, and an average of several thousand more going out as requested orders on CD and DVD discs.So,all in all,things are going well,and we thank the Lord for this.
We re-affirm our request for ministry stored away in attics,basements,closets.A main objective is that any such archives not be lost prior to having the chance to be preserved.Feel free to contact us at info@VoicesForChrist.org concerning any matters that we can assist with.
Warmly In Christ,The VFC Team

The VFC Voice - April 2007
Hello Again To All;
With joy in the heart,we add 412 new messages to the website,for the month of April.Of these , 81 are by the beloved brother Arthur Garnes.The remaining are the first installment of ministry from the Bahamas.
There will be more of these……….. 759 more at the latest count.
We wish we had profiles on each speaker,and perhaps they will happen in time……..We can say emphatically……..there are some tremendous new messages here,by some wonderfully gifted men.We are just hearing many of them for the first time ourselves………such as the evangelistic ministry of brother Tom Roberts,and inspiring messages by brother George Walker,former missionary to Cuba.
We also want to share what we are currently very excited about……….the hopeful ability to access a gigantic archive of ministry,which spans the past 60 years at least…………This archive has been the subject of prayer for over two years now………..We have not seen it,but have heard remarks telling of numerous (Possibly 6 to 10 ) 55 gallon barrels of reel to reel and cassette recorded ministry.Organizing,preserving and sharing this wealth of ministry would be as a dream come true,and viewed as an opportunity of a lifetime.
So therefore,pray with us that working this archive will become a reality……….and the time to pray is now,for we expect to know the final word in the next several weeks at most.
Other plans along the way are a re-design of the site,and some additional ways of presenting the messages,such as the ability to know which are from particular locations,such as The Park Of The Palms etc,of which there are over 4,000 Park messages already on the site now.
When prayer is offered,we should include thankfulness to our God ,for His continual blessings that have been so evident thus far,in prompting individuals to allow access to the archives already online.
We say again,thank you for visiting Voices For Christ,and telling others of it’s existance.
Warmly In Christ,
The VFC Team

The new messages this month are courtesy of Sam Thorpe,who sent them already digitized from tapes.
The entire array of Word Alive Conferences can be viewed by entering “Word Alive SE” into the VFC search engine.
As usual there is a tremendous amount of almost feverish activity going on behind the scenes.Tapes and promises of tapes are being offered on an ever increasing basis.We are thankful that we are seemingly thought worthy of being entrusted with a continual incoming flow of teaching and preaching by men who have been involved in Gospel evangelism and teaching for years,and share the desire to make all this available to those interested.
Having said this,otherwise the newsletter here for this month is brief.When there is a heavy workload,sometimes this leads to not much free time to elaborate on the details thereof,which might or might not be of interest to most.We can share that after a round with a computer virus infection,we have upgraded some of the equipment here,and as a result have some added capabilities which help with the assorted tasks of preserving and sharing audio ministry.
One item we might mention,is that we do strive to add newly digitized material as close to the first of each month as we can.Sometimes circumstances intervene and cause us to aim as “close” as we can,so just check Voices For Christ periodically.Any new news items will be added at any time,here in the “Say On” section.
Staying Busy With Wonderful Ministry,

New - In The Hymns Section
For a special treat, follow the link to the Hymns Section,then see the top of the page.A concert by the Valley Bible Chapel Choir ,Washington Township,from 1981,has been added.The concert is approx 44 minutes long,and we especially love the “thundering climax” for the final four minutes.It is always a joy when unexpected jewels show up among recordings sent for digitizing….so be sure to take a listen,and remember,it’s not over until you hear the applause !

We Have A Need
To All;
We believe the Lord has laid it on our heart to mention a special need,here at VFC.This need is for some interested person,or persons,who would be willing to jump in and work toward profiles for as many speakers as possible.These profiles or bios can be as lengthy or as brief as necessary depending on the amount of information located.Bear in mind that this could easily become a large and time consuming undertaking,but efforts put forth would benefit all site visitors.
If perhaps some Bible College student ,such as an Emmaus student were to become involved,there would be the college library resources which might assist.( We would be happy to personally contact Mark Woodhouse,at Emmaus and see if some type of credit could be earned by the volunteer.)
So if someone is interested in helping out the cause,it would be greatly appreciated…………
Warmly In Christ,

The VFC Voice - January 2007
Hello To All;
Ready or not,we have a new year.Our first thought is that perhaps this year will see the King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords,return to the air,and the universal true church,composed of all born again believers, be snatched away,henceforth forever to be in His presence.
Now for latest events……..those who closely monitor the VFC site,have surely noticed that there was no
VFC Voice Newsletter for December.This was due in large part,to our main computer becoming infected by a virus known as Trojan Hackdoor Haxdoor.Consequently altho unknown to us,said computer was being used to send out spam emails.This went on for several weeks,prior to being discovered by our ISP Internet Provider.The virus proved to be very tough to get rid of.In the end,the decision was implemented to completely erase the hard drive,and in the process,upgrade the operating system from Windows 2000 to Windows XP-Pro.With the issue now resolved,we continue onward,with both improvements to the website and also additional messages,which continue to arrive here at VFC headquarters.This month we have added messages sent by Northbrook Bible Chapel in Nova Scotia Canada.The speaker is Ray Fox.We plan to add a profile on brother Fox,shortly.
In days ahead approximately 1,000 messages from the Bahamas,plus many Word Alive Conferences from the state of Georgia,as well as additional messages sent by Donald Norbie,from Colorado will be showing up.All aspects of the Voices For Christ ministry seem to be accelerating.The site webmaster reports that for each month of 2006,site downloads have consistently been at least 10,500 messages per month.This is wonderful news,which has met and exceeded our hopes.
To all who have sent comments,and on ocassion recorded ministry,we say thank you.We love to have the opportunity to grow thru tape collections that have been stored away,then loaned to us,so that they can be brought back to life,and ultimately shared with all who wish to hear them.
In closing,we say please continue to pray for this ministry,that our Lord will continue meeting the needs,and that the inflow and outflow of messages will prosper,and even increase.
Warmly In Christ,
The VFC Team
