Praise God for people like John Saddington and blogs like Church IT. Man you don’t know how much I searched for a opensource ChMs with a clean and professional interface…
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to blog about this. I will be the first person to use it as soon as it’s released to the public and promise to let you know what I feet about it.
SURE THING!
love what i do.
