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 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?

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Dear FaithWriters Members and Regular Challenge Entrants, 

First, thanks to all of you for your prayers and patience during the time that FaithWriters was under a bot attack. Things seem to be back to normal, but we ask that you continue to keep our site in prayer. Sadly, we know of at least one entry from the last topic that vanished part way through and wasn’t caught until it was too late.

Please make it a habit to always check on your entries, right up until it closes, just to be sure your hard work doesn’t vanish into cyberspace.

Second, my husband and I have been blessed with an amazingly generous, once-in-a-lifetime gift this summer to travel to Austria with dear friends of ours for about a week. After discussing the schedule with Mike, Bea, and my amazing judging team, it was suggested we adjust the schedule to accommodate our travel schedule, rather than have someone fill in for me while I’m gone. We ask for your prayers for safe travel there and back (and my husband hates to fly, so this is a big deal!).

So, we’re having a slight adjustment to the Challenge Schedule. The new quarter starts THIS THURSDAY, April 3rd!  This will be your last opportunity for the Challenge Year to qualify for the 2024-2025 Best of the Best Award (cash prizes for the top 3)

The schedule will be 7 topics in a row with the two week break right before topic 8. The dates will be as follows:


Topic 1 – Begins April 3 / Ends April 10

Topic 2 – Begins April 10/ Ends April 17

Topic 3 – Begins April 17/ Ends April 24

Topic 4 – Begins April 24/ Ends May 1

Topic 5 – Begins May 1 / Ends May 8

Topic 6 – Begins May 8/ Ends May 15

Topic 7 - Begins May 15 / Ends May 22

 

TWO WEEK CHALLENGE BREAK - May 22 through June 4th

Topic 8 – Begins June 5 / Ends June 12

Then we’ll have our standard between quarter break, as well. 

Thank you for being so faithful to FaithWriters!
