Beyond the opportunity to learn from an outstanding faculty of over 65 editors, agents, and authors and to meet with them one-on-one, the August 10-13 Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference will be addressing today’s critical issues in our new Seminars for Concerned Christians.
Thursday, 1:00 – 4:30, “Who Is My Neighbor?” Along with Michele Clark, professor at George Washington University and board member of Christian Solidarity Int’l, and Geraldine Ryerson-Cruz, Sr. Researcher and Policy Analyst for World Vision US, Steven Lawson, Senior Editor at Regal Publishing Group, will focus on human trafficking, orphans, abortion, the poor, racism, the learning impaired, the handicapped, the hungry, the oppressed and so much more that is close to the heart and call of Jesus. Michele & Geraldine’s bios are at www.writehisanswer.com/Philadelphia/2011_agents_&_other.htm.
Friday, 1:00 – 4:30, “Help Save Our Nation!” Never before have I heard so many Christians that I deeply respect warning about the demise of our nation. What Rick Marschall, author, historian, and seminar leader, says is true. We are living “during a time of unprecedented moral decay and decline in biblical standards.” The question he asks can’t be ignored. “Will we defend America’s cultural heritage or be ineffective in fighting for a spiritual revival?”
Saturday, 10:30 – noon, seminar on Persecuted Christians. We’ve heard the statistics and some of the stories, but what can we do? Dan Wooding, founder and chief editor of ASSIST News Service (Aid to Special Saints In Strategic Times), will interview C. Hope Flinchbaugh, CEO of History Maker Publishing, for his FrontPage Radio show that is heard via the Internet in some 200 nations. Hope has an exciting vision to get copies of History Maker’s first title, Out of North Korea: A Korean Boy Tells His Rescue Story in Pictures, into the hands of legislators in Washington, D.C.
I know these aren’t the topics you’d normally expect to be addressed at a writer’s conference, but then the days we’re living in are no longer normal. For such a time as this I believe God is calling an army of Christians to “write His answer.”

Thanks, Marlene, for continuing to “take the Word to the world.” I’m stateside right now and took the opportunity this morning to find you online. Please extend my greetings to Hope and others. I’m praying for you all, especially related to, as you say, the topics you’d not “normally expect to be addressed at a writer’s conference.”
Lord “may your ways be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.” Psalm. 67:2

Great to hear from you, Deni. I didn’t know you were out of the country. Thanks much for your prayers. In Him – Marlne
