Stories of Life

Stories of Life We want YOUR story of faith & testimony Stories that speak of hope, grace, forgiveness, and the impact of knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

We’re looking for stories that creatively and engagingly tell your personal testimony, or relate a spiritually significant moment or event from your life story. The purpose of this competition is to encourage people to tell their stories of life and faith. That isn’t easy at the best of times, and to do so in an interesting way is doubly difficult. But a competition like this provides a clear foru

m for doing just that, and a way for each of us to start thinking about the difference Jesus makes in our lives, and how to put that into words. Of course, we want to recognise and encourage excellent writing too, because the printed word and the power of story is vital for sharing the gospel with a world that is hungry for Truth. So while the prizes on offer here are a definite incentive, and a way to recognise the gifts and talents of a select few, we are also looking to generate a much larger collection of inspiring stories for publication and/or radio broadcast. In fact, all shortlisted entries will be included in an anthology of stories to be published in Australia by Morningstar Publications. What’s more, to help you tell your story in the most effective way, we’ll be providing access to a whole host of practical writing tips and resources throughout the competition. So start thinking and get writing, and join us in making the most of this new and creative approach to public ministry!

A week ago, we launched our 10th anthology, Turning Ten and other stories of life. It was wonderful to meet Jenny Woolsey, who flew in from Queensland for the launch. We interviewed her and she shared the memory that prompted her to write her story, Turning Ten. It is a fitting title to our anthology. Books available now - link in our bio.
