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 responsible for over 1,500 officers and staff from a major city accept Jesus as savior. He could be an enormous 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 commented on at least one Challenge entry per week, there would be 500 or more comments on the entries. Will you please take a few minutes right now to help and encourage a fellow writer?

Current Entries from the Challenge that Closed Today
 
Recent Entries 
There are eight topics per quarter, with a two-week break (to catch your breath) between weeks four & five.

We’re going back to single word wordplay topics. Blended words: We’re all familiar with these words, but did you know they had a name? They are called Portmanteau. They are a word or part of a word made by combining the spellings and meanings of two or more other words or word parts (such as smog from smoke and fog)

Winners Announced February 27

BIG NEWS!!! The following authors need to MOVE UP!!! Some should have moved up a long time ago. It took me a long time to figure out a good system. I had tried a couple of different ways, but nothing was easy.

And this was just tracking entries since I started as the Challenge Coordinator. Some of these folks may have other entries placed further back. There a few more that are *super* close to moving up, so, check your entry placements!
It's always been done on the honor system - but some people might not track or realize they should move up. You're not in trouble! 🙂

So, if you see your name on this list - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Move on up in the next Challenge you enter!

These folks need to move up to Advanced:
This means you have either placed 1st twice in Beginners/Intermediate or gotten two Editor's Choice - Top Ten placements!

Ramona Cook
Sharon Nickerson


And drum roll please..... these folks need to move to MASTERS!!!!
This means you have received 3 or more (supposed to move up after 3) Editor's Choice - Top 10 placements!

Catherine Green
Ellen Janson
