You Really Can Text…no kidding

Posted by John Maynard on May 25, 2008

Teleflip is a simple and very cool service that allows you to send an email to some one’s cell phone number and it will convert it to a text message.

It can be so much easier to type an email than use the itty-bitty keys on your phone and much quicker as well. Also, if the person you send the message to hits reply, the answer goes back to your email inbox. So how do you use this simple and cool tool to be in the in crowd of texting?

Just type the 10 digit number with no spaces or anything and send @ teleflip.com. For example:

6993456789@teleflip.com

This is FREE to the sender. The only charge would be to the recipient if they are out of text minutes. Pretty cool!

“Preacher Boy” to Vice President of Bible Institute

Posted by John Maynard on May 21, 2008

As a teenager, Ric went forward in a Missions Conference to give his life to full-time ministry.
The Word of Life Club leader followed up Ric’s decision by telling him that he should get
involved in preaching at Teens Involved. He did and he loved it. This experience served to
confirm that God wanted Ric in full-time ministry. Students from around the world now benefit
from the experience of this “preacher boy.” Only today they call him “Mr. Garland” and he
serves as Word of Life’s Vice President of Bible Institutes.
