EAST COAST VOC: Minister Anita Licorish
Under
the direction of Minister Anita Licorish, of Fort Bragg, North
Carolina, the East Coast Chapter of Voices of Christ is committed to
encouraging and empowering teens and young adults to succeed,
particularly young women, through the ministry of the literary arts.
Through community outreach, Voices of Christ uses the power of
journaling and expression to bring healing, direction, instruction and
clarity to youth as the Gospel comes alive to them -- ultimately sending
them forth as leaders to positively and uncompromisingly impact the
world for Christ as authors and orators. This chapter covers North &
South Carolina, Virginia.

"Entertainment is a casual affair, but ministry is a love
affair with God!" --Anita Licorish, God's Poet
GEORGIA VOC: Minister Randy Goss
Under
the direction of Minister Randy Goss of Atlanta, Georgia, the
Georgia Chapter of Voices of Christ is pursuing ministry outside of the
box while networking God's
prophetic scribes for evangelism and outreach within the community. The
Georgia Chapter also serves
as catalyst for reviving and refreshing creative literary ministry within the local church. This
home-based team seeks out the places in society where hope and love are
needed -- and church as usual is rejected. In addition, membership is
encouraged to reach out to youth group homes, hospices, hospitals, nursing homes,
community centers and places others have forgotten or labeled
"insignificant." The Georgia chapter meets monthly and regularly hosts
events that seek to usher in an intimate experience with God. Georgia
Chapter primarily covers middle and north Georgia. Listen to the poem
"Puzzle" by Minister Goss!
RANDY'S BIO:
Minister Randy Goss, a prophetic poet and poetic artist, was born in
Ft. Lauderdale, FL and was raised as a Roman Catholic. His Uncle told
him about Jesus and led him to Christ. Soon after, Randy joined the
United States Air Force with no spiritual covering. During this time, he
read the word, talked with the Lord, prayed to the best of his ability,
and continued to write poetry for the Lord.
Randy's military base did not have a chapel; so a Sergeant and his
family would pick him up for church services at a nearby Assembly of God
church. It was here that he was introduced to the Holy Spirit, and his
life was transformed forever.
Randy eventually settled in Georgia and married. He and his wife have
been blessed to raise their children in the Lord. Randy along with his
oldest son Zachary produced a
"human video" using the song by Mercy Me called "Here
am I Send Me."
He has also been involved with supporting battered Women's shelters,
youth groups and facilities, and has recently compiled an anthology of
Christian poetry from writer's within his church entitled, The Treasures
of Trinity.
Randy has published the poetry he had written from his early childhood
to the present in a compilation of his original works called, "Climbing
Higher: A Life In Poetry." He recently completed a journal called
"Journaling Change," which encourages men and women to renew their
hearts and minds for the Lord by making positive changes in their
thought processes and their lives.
"I am so blessed to have found VOC, and the heart of a champion in
Prophetess Theresa Harvard Johnson and Apostle John Davis. They have
both been such a blessing and encouragement to me."
--Randy Goss

message through different mediums.
OREGON VOC: Minister Connie Sychowski
Under the Direction of Minister Connie Sychowski, the Oregon
Chapter of Voices of Christ has been set apart to teach and impart an
intimate understanding of the Father's love.
"He knew each of us before we were placed in the womb and we as well
knew Him," she said. "He placed in each of us His very creative nature
so that we can fulfill the purposes for which we have been called to,
and to receive an understanding that He indeed created us in His very
image."
Oregon VOC is focused on community outreach and is being positioned to
bring inner healing and wholeness through creative writing in such
places as women's shelters and jails. In addition, Connie recently
launched an online creative writing magazine geared toward children and
youth called, Generation Right Now. Children and youth are encouraged to
share the things God reveals to them creatively to minister to others.
The Oregon Chapter covers the state of Oregon.
CONNIE'S BIO: Connie Sychowski is the Founder of a grassroots
project, Generation Right Now, an online magazine and print newsletter
geared toward this generation of kids. Our mandate for this generation
is to give them an outlet to express their creativity, individuality,
and love of Christ. We desire to validate the importance of their voice
through their creative gifts, and for them to know it is more than a
hobby to entertain others but a tool which brings freedom, healing, and
life to their generation.
Connie is deeply compassionate, wild about Jesus, bold and
uncompromising. She flows under a heavy prophetic anointing for
the times and seasons in which we now live, in the understanding of
Dreams and Visions, she has helped many to find their spiritual
potential by encouraging and showing them how to press toward the mark
of the high call of God. She has mentored many in this area, helping
them to understand the parables of the night seasons.
In addition, she is often referred to as a Spiritual Mother for this
time, showing forth the love and compassion of Christ which brings about
healing and deliverance.
Connie is a Florida Native who began her ministry under the leadership
of Pastors Bill and Esther Ilnisky, of Lighthouse Christian Center
International, in West Palm Beach, Florida. She worked along side Esther
in her ministry E.N.I. She and her children were a part of the
Children's Global Prayer Movement until 1996. She met and married James
Sychowski and moved to the Northwest in 2001. Together, they have been
blessed with a large family of six beautiful children and three
grandchildren.
WEST COAST VOC: Minister Arletia McInnis
Under the Direction of Minister Arletia McInnis, The West Coast
Chapter of Voices of Christ encourages Christian writers to accept the
responsibility of their prophetic writing gift by acknowledging the Holy
Spirit as the source of divine revelation. Our purpose is to lead
non-believers to Christ through the ministry of the literary arts. We
accomplish this by:
1) Providing coaching and mentoring for writers to unlock the ministry
of the scribe within them.
2) Conducting prophetic writing workshops, self-publishing workshops,
and writing classes to develop skills that help propel their scribal
ministry to the next level.
3) Sponsoring literary events that invite non-believers to experience
the love of Jesus Christ through the creative arts.
4) Educate and coach writers into completion of their writing projects.
5) Assist writers with self-publishing services, resources and
promotional opportunities for their literary projects. The West Coast Chapter covers Nevada, Arizona and California.
ARLETIA'S BIO: Arletia McInnis, the Prophetic Scribe, is a
California native. She moved to Las Vegas, Nevada when God called her
there to become a minister of the gospel. After making some changes to
her life, God called her His “Prophetic Scribe,” and then He began to
reveal what it meant through His Word, and in dreams and visions. After
she accepted her new identity in Christ, He gave her a mandate: “Unlock
my people.” She was instructed to help people tell the stories hidden
deep within them that would set them free and bring deliverance,
restoration, and encouragement to others. “…and they overcame him by the
blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved
not their lives unto death.” REVELATIONS 12:11. So, she started teaching
prophetic writing classes in recreation centers and churches. The Holy
Spirit was her teacher.
During this training, God was faithful to open doors to an Internet
Radio Show, a growing writing ministry and increased responsibilities in
the church, including being designated church announcer and prophetic
poet. So, when she saw the Voices of Christ web site that read, “Jesus
did not come to entertain you, but to set the captives free”, she knew
that it was by divine appointment. Voices of Christ confirmed and
validated all that God had shown her. After receiving the Scribal
Anointing training from Prophetess Theresa, the Founder of Voices of
Christ Literary Ministries International, and being certified to teach,
it was clear that it was God’s will to increase His territory through
increasing understanding and awareness about the scribal ministry.
Arletia is the producer of a Bible Lessons CD that combines scripture
from the King James Version of the Holy Bible with poetry from Arletia’s
self-published book of praise and worship poems entitled, For the Love
of God, and music by Larry White, a nationally known jazz musician who
graciously offered permission to use the music on his entire CD
entitled, Unsolicited Material. The CD features scriptures related to
Health and Healing, Relationships and Strength in God. The CD is a gift
that accompanies the book.
