Who is Valorrea?

I have had several people in my congregation ask me about the advertisements they are seeing on social media from Valorrea and the Bible study materials they are advertising. They look very good and helpful, but who is Valorrea? My wife and I had run across them a few months ago as we were looking for new curriculum for the church. I researched them the best that I was able to and following are my findings. Perhaps this will be helpful to you all as well.

  1.  Valorrea is clearly foreign owned.  Probably Chinese – but I cannot confirm that.  Their address listed on the website is for an “on demand” warehouse in Delaware – which is where they are also incorporated.
  2. Their website was launched in September 2025.
  3. There are many, many reports of US copyrighted books and materials being outright stolen or copy-pasted partially in Valorrea’s production.
  4. There is no Author listed on the materials.  It just says by Valorrea.
  5. Their website gives a very small – very simple statement of faith.  There is no board of directors or history of the company or information about Valorrea.
  6. Their website looks EXACTLY like other website that I ran into in 2025 where they market things very well but it leads to Chinese companies.  Please reference:  tablescoversnow.com   or    lapelpinsnow.com
  7. These type of websites always use “limited time”,  “limited inventory, order now” type of hype.
  8. During the first week of February, as I was doing my research, the Valorrea website was not accessible and my web browser marked this site as SPAM.
  9. We have one lady at Cedar Hill that did order from them.  She did receive a download right away and then she did receive the book she ordered.  It did not look anything like the advertisement.  She also immediately received a refund through PayPal. 
  10. Conclusion:  You will receive materials from Valorrea – it might be helpful and close to what you ordered. The questions is – we do not know exactly who they are or where they are from.  It may well be materials that have been stolen from American authors.   We would be concerned about who we are supporting.  Try Amazon – you will find similar materials that are good and you can research the author and publishing companies. 

Have you had any experience or feedback with this company? I would love to know. – Pastor Wes Gunther

KCEA Conference

The following has been sent to HAPF via Ted Clater from KCEA:

Suicide.  Depression.  Despair.  Loneliness.  We are serving the Lord in times when pastors and fellow leaders are increasingly facing counseling situations for which pastors in past decades did not have to prepare.  We are advantaged as we “gear up” for situations that are increasing.

I believe you all know about the Keystone Christian Education Association.  Each September they organize a Christian Education Conference to address professional development.  This year they offer 102 workshops and 3 plenary sessions on September 25 & 26 at DoubleTree Willow Valley, Lancaster.  Yes, many of the topics are focused on tasks and issues directly related to Christian schools.  However, their 102 workshops have many titles with content that can assist you.

I invite you to see the attached listing of KCEA’s Program. 

  • Observe that eight titles are highlighted in green.  The one professor is a veteran in Biblical Counseling while the other is a professor of church ministries who is completing a doctorate in that field.  These address topics that are increasingly occurring in our churches.  
  • Observe a dozen titles that addresses topics that might be prime candidates for your attendance.
  • Observe dozens of other titles that you can select. 
  • KCEA’s program provides time for delegates to attend three plenary sessions and up to 10 workshops.
  • The registration is modest, especially compared to alternatives.  The sessions are in-person, not via Internet, thus encouraging participation.
  • Details about the Conference and workshop titles are available on KCEA’s website.  (www.KCEA.com, go to the bottom of the Home Page).

Registration information is on the KCEA website, but I also give you an alternative.  If you desire, you can contact one of the KCEA affiliating schools, and they can save you a few bucks by including you along with the registration for their staff – thus $40 instead of $48.   For example, Pastor Harris at Hope Baptist, Hanover, will be glad to assist any from our Fellowship.
