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?
Just click on a link to read and comment.
 
Current Entries from the Challenge that Closed Today
 
Recent Entries 
There are nine topics per quarter now, with a one-week break (to catch your breath) between weeks 5 & 6.
We want to encourage more of our Christian fiction writers to submit an entry. Please remember, all entries must be newly written.

This quarter’s topics will be about Word Play, specifically Homophones.
Each topic for this quarter will be a pair of homophones. Do your best
to use BOTH meanings of the word in each entry and have at least one of the word to be central to the topic of your entry, but be sure to be
clear about which word you are focusing on (or both!). This should be
really challenging and hopefully a lot of fun!  Please see the forum or
our Facebook page for more information and discussion about the topics.

We will be testing this change and depending on the response, we may revert back to the single topic during the quarter. So, please pay attention to these messages. Fiction and non-fiction entries are both encouraged. 

If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, or feedback about this quarter's Challenge format, please email Michael@faithwriters.com.
