“For you are the Fountain of life; our light is from your light.”
(Psalm 36:9 TLB)
During the past two months of planning this year’s conference I have frequently felt overwhelmed. Even though this is my 18th year directing the Colorado conference and 31st year directing the July 30 – August 2 Greater Philly conference (2/3s of the faculty is in place), it doesn’t get any easier. Sometimes it feels like the light at the end of the tunnel is an approaching train!
Sorting through hundreds of emails, asking Father to show me who He wants to serve on faculty from my Excel spreadsheet of over 300 names, seeking His wisdom to choose 60 workshops from the lists faculty provide, and then putting it all together into a 16 page brochure is a daunting task. And this year I’ve also been editing and typesetting a powerful 426 page End Times novel for a pastor.
Thank You, Father, that Mark’s book is at CreateSpace and the brochure is ready to go to the printer Monday morning. The brochure is now on the conference website – http://colorado.writehisanswer.com. I am in awe of what the Lord has done, is doing, and will do.
More than ever I feel Father’s anointing on this year’s conference. I believe the keynotes and continuing sessions reflect His heart to draw us closer to Himself. I know He is going to meet us on the mountain.
Secure online registration opens February 1, but for those eager to be among the first to register (remember, the earlier you register the better opportunity you have of getting your top picks for the one-on-one appointments), you can print the registration form you’ll find in the online brochure and mail it with a check or money order. The first seven to register before online registration opens will receive a free copy of my book, Write His Answer – A Bible Study for Christian Writers.
Be encouraged. He has plans for you and your writing ministry. Trust Him to light the way and to give you the strength to follow.

Thank you Debbie for putting all this info online. I truly appreciate it. I have a calling on my life and God has told me through Jesus “FOLLOW ME”. It was quite an experience. I thought that since I’m 70 years old, my life was pretty much over but NOW I know that He wants to use me in ways I never dreamed of and even though I have talent – until I heard from the Lord I didn’t want to blow my own horn – I guess I’m kind of a chicken:o) Pray that He
will make me BOLD. Thanks again. Donna Howe

Amen, Donna. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. I’m 69 years old, still often overwhelmed by what Father calls me to do, but I trust neither of us will chicken out. Hope to see you at the May 14-17 Colorado Christian Writers Conference.
