Writing Challenge “Changing of the Guard”
The FaithWriters Writing Challenge is undergoing a change starting next quarter. Joanne Sher, who has been the Writing Challenge Coordinator for the past 3 ½ years and a FaithWriters member for sixteen, is stepping aside to focus on other things. Starting July 1, the new FaithWriters Writing Challenge Coordinator will be long-time member and message board moderator Shari Armstrong. Shari has entered the Challenge almost 100 times, a member of FaithWriters since 2005 and she was a Challenge judge for many years.
So, be sure to welcome Shari - and help her build up the number of entries by submitting regularly next quarter. Her first challenge topic will be announced on Thursday, July 7. She hopes to see you on the list!
Welcome, Shari!

Your Financial Support Makes All the Difference
Together as the Body of Christ, we are spreading the Good News in over 230 countries online and growing Christian writers who will write countless articles and books pointing people to Jesus. Your support is producing the fruit of new believers. Comments presented as received. Thank You!
1) I felt the holy spirit lead me to you and that God's message of love drew me here.
2) I want Jesus to be the number in my life.
3) I'm saved from sin and I've rededicated my life to HIM who owns me. I'm now free from lies, exam malpractice, etc. Pray for me to believe that indeed "It is finished "
4) I accepted Jesus as Lord and Need a Bible. (We sent Roger a Bible.)
5) I have accepted Jesus and praying to not continue to commit sin anymore. Matthew
6) Recently we had a Deputy Police Chief who is directly responsible for over 1,500 officers and staff from a major city accept Jesus as savior. He could be a big influence. Pray for J. Ramar.

| Encourage Fellow Writers - Commit to Comment
On At Least One Challenge Entry a Week
Reading and commenting on a regular basis offers a double blessing. The author is encouraged and grows, and those who comment learn and improve their writing skills too.
I know we are all busy. But are we too busy to comment on one Challenge entry per week? Just think how encouraged we are when people comment on our entries. If every member who receives this weekly notification would comment on at least one Challenge entry per week, there would be roughly 500 additional comments on the entries. Will you please take a few minutes right now to help and encourage a fellow writer?
