Rejoicing for a slow internet connection!

Late last night we received an All Staff email regarding slow internet connection problems at Headquarters in Orlando. We noticed that logging in has been slower than usual on our part, but assumed it was us.

To quote from the email: "Josh McDowell's The DaVinci Code: A Quest for Answers podcast has become the #2 podcast on the Apple iTunes site."

The podcast is currently hosted on CCC's Headquarter servers, but they are in the process of moving it (and others) to allow quicker access for both Podcasts and everyday uses. "More than 100,000 people have subscribed to this DaVinci Code podcast. Nearly three-fourths of the total headquarters capacity is allocated to serving the podcast files. Yet, we are finding that is still not enough...So rejoice in the network difficulties at headquarters! Be assured that the tech teams are working hard to address the issues and return service to normal, but while waiting for your e-mail or a headquarters-hosted Web site, spend the extra few seconds praying for the hundreds of thousands who are exploring spiritual things or becoming better equipped at ministering to their friends."
