Along with the lecture for security at our mission board training school, I gave a lecture on deputation tools. Here are the tools that I mentioned in the lecture. I trust this will be a help to those who would like to research these tools further. Almost all the tools I mention are available for cross-platform use or are web-based tools.

- Thunderbird — Can be used on Linux, Mac, and Windows
Mailing List Programs
- Constant Contact — The one the office uses
- MailChimp — My recommendation for those getting started
- Vertical Response — The one Bro. Price mentioned
- MailPoet — WordPress based
- PHPList — The one I use for my newsletters
Website
- WordPress — For running on your own host
- SquareSpace

O Mr Peach, I do have a question, please if I may?
I have had to switch to another browser (firefox) it issems to block Christian content; from those sites in particular, – to – clickthrough links in my email. Please – is there a different browser that doesn’t do this to us?
There are different browsers. Chrome and Firefox seem to be the biggest players. Most browsers today are based on the Chromium engine which is what Chrome uses.
