Projects & Needs
Historical Restoration Project
Our biggest project has been transcribing all of Elder Frazee’s messages. Elder Frazee had his own printing press and was a proofreader when he was just a youth. He had a lifelong commitment to excellent work in written material. In his honor, we have tried to do our best to make sure that these transcripts are in great shape before we release them to the public. First, the audio message needs to be typed out from scratch. This first-typed-out version is what we call a “raw transcript.”
It started many years ago as Homer Barrett and other Wildwood alumni began to transcribe Elder Frazee’s sermons. The blessing of having his messages written out—for fast searching of topics, copying and pasting to create one’s own sermons and many other useful features—meant that many dear souls had to volunteer their time throughout the years to provide Elder Frazee’s messages in typed form.
Over the years, we developed a standardized way of formatting and editing the transcripts that has saved a lot of time. Lee Shaffer, Jim Bound, Theresa Nybo, Clarissa Marshall, Angela Moore, Kristin Hannun, Kristen Ravencroft and many others have contributed to this huge project.
Initially our goal was to get as many transcripts as possible into a final-fully edited form. We then set the goal to transcribe all of Elder Frazee’s audio messages d in some basic yet standardized form. On October 31, 2018 we completed Phase I by transcribing all 1673 sermons. However, we currently have only 1,663 audio sermons because the audio was lost to several transcribed sermons. Please join your prayers with us that we may one day find those missing audios.
In December 2021, we completed Phase II by editing all 1673 transcripts. These are now available via the Entire PDF Bundle. Many of these transcripts are available for free as part of the Ministry Resource Page. We are so thankful for God’s blessing on this project and pray that you may find it a blessing too.
Praise God for making this possible. Without the Lord using you to contribute financially and your prayers and encouragement, we would not have been able to arrive at this glad day. Collectively, this project is the result of many workers, tens of thousands of dollars, and 60-plus years of effort. Thank you so much for helping us complete the transcription project
There is still plenty to do in promoting and maintaining this ministry, not the least of which is promoting these transcripts. If you would like to help support the expanding work of this ministry, please use the Donate button and select GREATEST NEED from the drop down menu.
Audiobooks
In 2024 we created our first audiobook for “Ransom & Reunion – Through the Sanctuary” that you can purchase here or access free through a membership with Audible. As funds become available, we plan to create audiobooks for “Another Ark”, “Coming Events & Crisis at the Close”, and “Home Leadership”. If you would like to help support the creation of additional audiobooks, please use the Donate button and select AUDIOBOOKS from the drop down menu.
Book Publishing
In 2023 we published the autobiography of Elder Frazee that includes anecdotal stories of Elder Frazee’s experiences in his life, evangelism, and leadership in Wildwood. It is our prayer that this autobiography will bless you. Elder Frazee was a humble man who was not interested in drawing attention to himself. As such, we hope that you will see in this book just what Elder Frazee would want you to see—that the Hero of this whole story is Jesus.
We collaborated with Teach Services to publish “Married to the Work – How to be a Leader after God’s Own Heart” which is a compilation of some of Elder Frazee’s most relevant and practical sermons and teachings on the subject. Many prominent leaders in our church today have received encouragement, counsel, and admonition through these timeless messages. Whether you are currently involved in leadership or feel that God is calling you, in this book your soul will find guidance to make you a leader after God’s own heart.
Our Book Publishing fund also assists with reprinting Elder Frazee’s published books. If you would like to help support our publishing work, please use the Donate button and select BOOK PUBLISHING from the drop down menu.
Spanish Translations
We currently have a family who is doing medical missionary evangelism – Homer and Berta Barrett. They understand both English and Spanish and were personal friends of W.D. Frazee. They are the perfect couple to help translate Elder Frazee’s materials into the Spanish language! They currently have translated several transcripts that you can download here.
They are in need of funds to keep the translations coming. If you speak Spanish or would like to support providing more powerful materials in one of the most widely spoken languages of the world, please use the Donate button and select SPANISH TRANSLATIONS from the drop down menu.
Social Media
Our Social Media Coordinator, Arnold Famini, regularly uploads new content to our FaceBook, YouTube, and Instagram channels which has been a tremendous help in growing our social media presence and a great blessing to our sight-impaired supporters that are unable to read Elder Frazee’s published materials.
