Kingdom Greetings!
It is with great excitement and joy that I greet you! Over the past
few months, Voices of Christ Literary Ministries International has
undergone some significant changes by the guidance of the Holy
Spirit. I tell you, it hasn't been easy, but we are back and
stronger than we have ever been before. First, I'd like to thank
each and everyone of you for your prayers and support over the
years.
For those who have been wondering what's REALLY going on, here's the
overview in bulleted form:
-
What
happened to the poetry team? The ministry has matured
intensely since the birth of the Voices of Christ Prophetic
Poetry Team in 2000. We moved from being an evangelistic team of
traveling poets, psalmists and spoken word artists into a
ministry that mentors and equips creative writers -- with a
special focus on poets - for the work of the ministry.

Call For Submissions: Seeking Testimonies |
|
The
second issue of Esdras' Scroll is scheduled to debut on
Saturday, March 15, 2008. Currently, we are adding a
second section to the Christian Creative Magazine
entitled, "Testimonies." We are currently seeking essays
between 800-1,500 words that describe testimonies and
miracles in the lives of believers with disabilities.
The testimony must clearly speak to the miracle power of
Jesus Christ, and encourage, educate or move others to
action. They must be relevant to our society and provide
solutions for the body of Christ. Clearly define the
disability, the challenges and how the challenges were
transformed into personal miracles. Feel free to include
relevant photos in addition to your photo (if available)
and a brief bio. True stories only please.
Please feel free to include statistics, supporting
materials, links, etc. on a separate page if you are
unable to incorporate this into your essay. Please be
creative in nature. We are not looking for mini
sermons, but testimonies that draw the reader into your
circumstance and then to the Lord. Send your essays
to
submissions@voicesofchrist.org, subject:
DISabilities. The deadline is
Thursday, Feb. 28. Deadline extended for
these submissions. These essays will appear in the March
issue. Reprints okay.

creative writing magazine:

year!
