Writing Team

How Do I Become Part of Your Writing Team?

If this opportunity speaks to you, I would like to get to know you. I will form this team from those I have mentored either through coaching or retreats. Watch for local writing retreats to be scheduled throughout the year. There are only a few requirements, but they are vital in creating a joyful team who will encourage one another along our journey.

You must be active and in good standing in your local church.

• A letter of recommendation, on church letterhead from your pastor is required.
• Two character references will also be contacted.

You must be a team player.

• Missions is exciting, but spiritually charged.
• This team needs to know how to encourage and pray for one another.
• We also will stick together as a team. Those that engage in individual skirmishes outside of what is scheduled will be dismissed. Southeast Asia is amazing but can be a dangerous place.

You must be Spirit-led.

• We will minister in churches who need the presence of the Holy Spirit.
• We don’t have to agree on every nuance, but we need to not be polar opposites theologically.

You must be adventurous.

• Southeast Asia is a culture unlike anything we know in America.
• The food is amazing – but it’s not chicken nuggets and fries.
• Throughout the course of our travels, we will come in contact with different cultural norms.

I am serious when it comes to ministry, but I love to have fun. The people we work with in these countries are some of the most humble and joyful people I have ever met. We will have time in our schedule to write about our experiences – both in ministry and exploring the culture around us. But ultimately, we want the Lord to show us how to use our writing to bless the Southeast Asian church and advance the Kingdom.
