“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” – Psalm 107:2 (NKJV)
Sister, if you've been holding back—heart full of stories, mind swirling with moments where Jesus met you in the mess—this is your invitation.
It’s time to pick up the pen.
Not because you’re perfect. Not because you have it all figured out. But because there’s power in your testimony. Someone out there is praying for the breakthrough you've already walked through. Someone is crying the tears you once cried. And someone is waiting to know that God still moves—because He moved for you.
You Don’t Have to Be a Professional Writer—You Just Have to Be Willing
God isn't asking for polished grammar or bestselling-author skills. He's asking for your obedience. Your story. Your scars turned into sentences.
Think about the woman at the well. After one encounter with Jesus, she ran back to her village not with a polished sermon, but with her story. And the Bible says:
"And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, 'He told me all that I ever did.'" – John 4:39 (NKJV)
It was her raw, real testimony that opened hearts to the gospel. Imagine what your story could do.
Introducing: “Dear Daughters: Lessons Learned at the Feet of Jesus”
This 2025 anthology is more than a book. It’s a revival of voices—ordinary Christian women who have walked through fire, fought battles in prayer, faced heartbreak, and found healing at the feet of Jesus. And now, we're passing those lessons down.
To our daughters. To our sisters. To the world.
We want YOU to be part of it.
Whether you’ve journaled in secret for years or just started processing your walk with Jesus—this is a safe, sacred space to speak up. And your story matters more than you know.
Why Should You Apply?
You’ll finally stop waiting for “the right time” to write.
You’ll gain community with other Kingdom women on mission.
You’ll get support, encouragement, and publishing guidance.
Most importantly—you’ll change lives, starting with your own.
“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.” – Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV)
We’re not just writing stories—we’re building legacies. We’re not just sharing testimonies—we’re setting captives free.
But don’t wait—applications close July 15, 2025.
Let this be the year you stop sitting on your story. The world needs what God’s done in you. And the pen is already in your hand.
So, what are you waiting for, daughter? Write. Declare. Set someone else free.
In bold faith,
