Brandon Shalton is on a mission from God. Well, sort of.

Shalton created a company in 1999 that developed audio-to-web technology that could instantly digitize phone messages and post them on a Web site. Although the company foundered on the shoals of the dot-com disaster, it gained new life in 2003 in the form of SpokenMessages.com, a Web site serving the online-ministry needs of churches.
