CCBF FAX FACTS now CCBF SHARE
Two weeks ago my laptop, where all CCBF records and activities are reported from, stopped recognizing the AC power source. That left me rather short-handed and unable to send out the monthly CCBF Fax Facts on time. Fortunately we are back in business computer wise, though no longer able to fax from my new lap top. Since only about ten percent of the 800+ monthly Fax Facts recipients do so by fax, we concluded that this may be a good time to go all e-mail. This may also a good time to change the monthly update’s name, since Fax is no longer a fact. Fax recipients will be invited to submit an e-mail address.

In 1992, when Sunday Shopping was hot topic, CCBF created a program aimed at helping both Christian Businesses and Christian Not For Profit Organizations with the slogan: Supporting, Helping, Assisting, Responding and Encouraging SHARE. How appropriate and providential that we are able to again use the same acronym SHARE; Supporting, Helping, Acknowledging, Reporting and Encouraging based on the words of 1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” We pray and trust that this monthly update will do just that.
