On February 1, a week from today God willing, online registration for the May 11-14 Colorado Christian Writers Conference will open. And plans are well underway for the August 3-6 Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference.
It’s my 20th year directing the Colorado conference, my 33rd year for Philly. And it’s not gotten any easier. Instead the spiritual battles have become more intense.
The urgency I feel to challenge you to live and write His answer compells me to keep on keeping on despite the weariness, fear, and discouragement I often face. Michael Gantt, who will keynote at both conferences, expresses my heart burden far more powerfully than I can. As a watchman on the wall, he urges prayer “day in and day out for a move of God that will shake the nation out of its spiritual coma.”
Michael’s words about 15 years ago when he keynoted at the Colorado conference keep ringing in my ears: “Do you believe, do you really believe, that God can use you?”
Yes, I do!
Father, please help us to surrender our hopes and dreams for our writing – for our lives – to You. Use us, Lord.

Write His Answer 
Praising God for the urgency you feel that is keeping you motivated in the face of weariness, fear and discouragement. Praying God will strengthen and give you grace to keep fulfilling your calling to train and support writers.
Your prayers are much appreciated!
God richly bless you, Marlene.
