We are looking for Christian Testimonies for our Blog!
A Christian testimony is the story of how a person came to know Jesus Christ. It often includes (but is not limited to):
- the story of a person’s life before Christ
- the story of how the Lord saved him/her
- a short reflection of his/her new life in Christ
Guidelines:
Word count: between 500 – 4,000 words
Testimonies may be previously published. We only ask for the non-exclusive right to publish it on our blog.
A selection of testimonies will be posted weekly during the month of October in our blog, separate from our regularly published issues.
Read some of our published testimonies here.
Deadline: September 30th.
