Anointed and Appointed
The journey of David from shepherd boy to ruler over all Israel was a process that took him from being anointed to being appointed to being empowered and finally to being established. When we are called by God to write for Him, our course looks much the same. God pours out His Spirit upon us, activating the writing gift within us. Creativity begins to flow and there is a fire in our hearts to write the Word that God is quickening in us. This desire finds expression as God appoints us to complete the projects He has for us. Then over time our skill and influence grow and we become established in our own unique niche. No matter where you are on this journey, we welcome the opportunity to help you realize your full potential in your calling!
We welcome you to join our enthusiastic group of developing writers as we hone our skills in our monthly teachings,
read-arounds or critique sessions. Success is the direct result of our commitment to God's vision for our lives. We are here to give you the tools you need to walk out God's Plan for your writing. And we hope that you will take advantage of what we have to offer by actively participating and putting these tools to use.
