WHY JOIN VOICES OF CHRIST? (Application at bottom of page)
Voices of
Christ Literary Ministries International is a very unique ministry. We
are not only committed to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through
the ministry of creative writing, but we are committed to training and
equipping present day scribes to be effective leaders in their homes,
communities, churches and the world by living the gospel.
While many ministries focus on showcasing and performing their gifts,
book publishing, marketing or promoting their work, the Voices of Christ
focuses primarily on turning the HEART OF THE SCRIBE toward the Father. We believe
that a strong IDENTITY & FOUNDATION in Christ is needed before a present
day scribe can walk fully and completely in their scribal ministry.
While other areas of literary ministry (like performing, marketing,
promotions, publishing, editing, etc.) are important, they are not
the principle focus -- Christ is.
We are committed to keeping CHRIST first, and being a clear and
resounding VOICE for Him.
We believe that once this foundation has been set, then a scribe
can begin to minister, train and equip others for effective ministry work
while being pushed to obtain excellence in presenting their ministry to
others in oratorical or published form. Not only are we a catalyst for
pushing you to excel in Holy Spirit living, but we are your arm of
accountability in this unique, often rarely respected ministry unto God.
We go into
the places where HOPE is needed to encourage, uplift and reconcile God's
people back to him. While many scribes are fighting for positions on an
open mic, hungering to be seen on a world stage, and pushing products, we are
storming nursing homes, prisons, youth detention centers, group
homes, hospitals, literacy projects and other areas with the love of God. If no one ever knows our
names, we will be happy and SATISFIED knowing that we have done all that
God has commanded. We challenge scribes to head the VOICE OF GOD and be
willing, if he commanded them, to sow their books, CDs and other
products into the lives of others for the gospels sake -- expecting
nothing in return.
Voices of Christ also stands as a beacon of light in assisting the
present day church with embracing The Scribal Anointing™!
We are also a center of security and acceptance for those walking boldly
in a gift that has been overlooked and sometimes ignored and rejected.
Do you want to maximize your purpose and fulfill your destiny as God's prophetic, creative writer? If your answer is yes, then this is the ONLY reason why you would want to join Voices of Christ Literary Ministries International.
