New Under the Hood

AudioVerse has a brand new engine under the hood!

If it seems like we’ve been quiet the past few months, it’s because we have been diligently undertaking the biggest under-the-hood technology upgrade that the ministry has ever gone through.

As you may remember, we shared with you last year of our need to completely rebuild our content management system (CMS) which is the engine that drives the entire AudioVerse ministry. We were running on software that was built back before the first iPhone was even invented, and it had become a source of significant bottlenecks and challenges—most notably, it inhibited our ability to scale up to reach even more people around the world with the Everlasting Gospel. Like most engines, the mileage was showing.

We spent most of last year writing the code for an all-new CMS to power the next phase of growth for AudioVerse, and the past few months have been spent migrating from our old system to the new.

So today, I am happy to announce that AudioVerse has a brand-new engine under the hood!

I want to thank all of you who supported us with your financial partnership over the past year which made this transition possible. Your contributions have enabled us to improve the efficiency of our small team while also laying the groundwork for the future.

We’re Not Done Yet

While the upgrade of our CMS has been important, we aren’t content simply upgrading the engine of our service. We want to improve everything else that’s connected to it too. We want to build on this foundation to vastly improve the full user experience for all of our listeners.

Our team has partnered with Adventist design firm, Types & Symbols for this exciting project, and together we have been diligently at work reviewing every nook and cranny of our website and mobile apps to ensure they bring the most enriching and edifying experience.

The new design will feature improved ways of navigating the content library, personalizing of your listening experience, leveraging of new smartphone capabilities, and cross-platform integration between the web browser and our various mobile devices just to name a few things to look forward to.

In anticipation of the biggest design update in AudioVerse’s history, we have also refreshed our logo and branding to reflect this significant milestone.

We aren’t quite ready to show you these updates just yet, but if you would like to be the first to get a sneak peek at what we’ve been working on, you will need to visit us at our booth at the upcoming ASI International Convention from August 4-7, 2021 in Orlando, Florida.

You can find us at booth #526 , right next to Starting with Jesus , where we will be featuring our new ministry look and mobile app experience. We hope to see many of you there in person, and we will have more updates for our online family sometime after that.

You Can Still Help

Even if you can’t be at ASI to preview our new design and updates in person, you can still be a part of this exciting project through your financial support. High quality software and design removes barriers for people to more readily receive the Truth as found in the messages on AudioVerse, and so your investment in these important improvements will have a direct impact on the souls that the Lord seeks to reach.

To get to Version 2.0 of our new apps, we still need $50,000 of funding. We have a long wish list of features (many are suggestions from you, our listeners) that will require resources even beyond that, so any surplus over this amount will go toward continued improvements. Please prayerfully consider supporting this important work with a generous one-time donation or monthly contribution.

You may give at our donate page online , through PayPal Giving Fund to avoid any credit card transaction fees, or by check to our address below.

Thank you in advance for your support and see you at ASI!
