International Christian Concern Press Release
Is God calling you to "write His answer"?
but you are uncertain how to get started or how to squeeze one more thing
into a life that is already full? Perhaps you are procrastinating because
of self-doubts. Perhaps you've been writing for a long time but you're
struggling with discouragement and rejection slips. Perhaps you've even
begun to question your call. Or perhaps you are writing and
publishing regularly but long to make a greater impact through your
writing.
Whether
you've dreamed of a writing ministry or are widely
published, Write His Answer Ministries will encourage you to write about a
God who is real, who is reachable, and who changes lives.
My Gift to You
Click
here to download free of charge my keynote message, "Get the Word
Out," from the fall 2011 Vine & Vessels Christian Writers Conference.
You'll be encouraged and equipped to "write His answer" through the ten
biblical principles I share. The MP3 file will take approximately five
minutes to load.

Write
His Answer Ministries
is the umbrella for my writing and speaking ministry
and my ministry to other Christian writers through
When I
attended my first writers conference,
I had planned to listen to several different speakers.
But after I heard you speak,
I changed my plans and attended every session you taught.
After my first writers conference, I sold the first three pieces I
submitted,
mostly thanks to you.
Since then I have authored or coauthored eleven books,
written articles for several periodicals,
and written greeting card copy for DaySpring.
I edited two online magazines, Barefoot Path
and Barefoot for Kids,
for three and two years respectively.
Thank you for getting my writing career started on the right track.

About Me
I felt a call to full-time
Christian service as a teenager. If anyone had told me then, however, that God
was calling me to a writing and speaking ministry, I would have said, "A loving
God would never
do that to me!" I hated English in high school, and I was terrified of the
public speaking class we were required to take.
God's plan was certainly not my
plan. Instead, it is "infinitely beyond [my] highest prayers, desires, thoughts,
or hopes" (Eph 3:20 TLB)! He has given me the joy and privilege of being part of
Christian publishing since 1968. I have made over 1,000 sales to Christian
periodicals and have authored five books
including an expanded edition of
Write His Answer - A Bible Study for Christian Writers
(Write Now Publications, 1999). I am the compiler and editor of
For Better, For Worse - Devotional Thoughts for
Married Couples (Christian Publications, 2004)
and
My Turn to Care - Encouragement for Caregivers of
Aging Parents
(Thomas Nelson, 1994, and Ampelos Press, 1999).
The Lord has opened so many doors, including the opportunity
to serve on the faculty of over 75 Christian writers conferences and to give my
one- and two-day Christian writers
seminars over 50 times around the nation. And I never cease to be awed by
what He does at each year's
Colorado and
Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference that I direct. When He
blessed me with an honorary Doctor of Letters in May 1999, all I could say was,
"Wow!" Only God could take someone who felt as inadequate as I did (and often
still do) and make all this happen.
For Such a Time as This
I believe God
is calling and equipping Christians to "write His answer" the theme since 2009
for the Colorado and Greater Philly Christian Writers Conferences. But as we're
reminded in Habakkuk 2:1 (TLB), we first need to "wait to see what answer God
will give."
Please help us, Father, to
make our relationship with You our top priority. During these critical days,
thank You for Your promise that
now we have "every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for
doing Your will " (1 Cor. 1:7 tlb).
But first, Lord, before we begin to write let us not forget to seek Your
answer!
I shudder to think what my life would be like
if I had never met Marlene Bagnull,
and I rejoice as I reflect on what God has already done with my writing
through her workshops and conferences.
Without her, there would be no Delmarva Christian Writers' Fellowship
or WriTeen Crue,
not to mention the many other organizations she has inspired.
Her conferences and mentoring are an anchor
for excellence in Christian writing.
Without her, my writing would stink. So, thank you, Marlene,
for taking my raw material and seeing the potential in me.
Truly, God has used you and your teachings
to equip me to "write His answer."
Help Feed the Hungry While You
Build Your Vocabulary
“About 25,000 people die
each day from hunger or hunger-related causes, most of them children.” You
can make a difference by going to
http://www.freerice.com
(the source of the previous quote). By playing their vocabulary building
game, you can donate 10 grains of rice for every correct answer. I NEVER
play games on my computer, but so far I’ve donated over 1,000 grains of
rice!
The Web site checks out at
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/freerice.asp
as being legit. They report: “On 7 October 2007, the first day of the
site’s operations, only 830 grains were donated. As of 17 November 2007,
the number of grains of rice given away amounts to 2,457,120,420.”
Currently (February 2, 2009) over 58 billion grains of rice have been
donated!
The game has 50 levels of
difficulty. The Web site says it is rare for people to get above level 48.
I haven’t been able to make it past 40, but I’m determined to build my
vocabulary and even more determined to help feed the hungry. I’m praying
you’ll join me.
