It also serves as a platform expressing the unity in the body of Christ. Terrence’s vision with the Voice of One is to reach every segment of the multi-denominational and multicultural church. His motto is, everyone has a story and every church has a story. The magazine is contributed to by various Christian writers and ministers. It also showcases a growing section ministering to youth.

Editorial Needs:
General Information: Feature stories should be powerful, dramatic, inspiring, role-model stories that teach by example, rather than “here’s what to do and how to do it.” Stories may be heart-touching, funny, adventurous, compelling—but all will be a “good read.” Stylistically, most features will be more Reader’s Digest or Guidepost. They will inform while entertaining. All stories should be positive, upbeat, and inspirational. They should encourage readers to live life to the fullest and finish well according to biblical principles. Human interest stories should demonstrate lifestyles and experiences that will encourage and show readers how they can make this second half of their lives rich, full of purpose, and significance.
