A new venture

 

A thought has been buzzing round my mind for the last few days. I'd like your honest opinions please.

We all have a responsibility to spread our Christian beliefs and faith; not just by the way we live but also by other means as best as possible. We cannot all be preachers, standing at street corners handing out leaflets, or knocking from door to door. But there is another way.

The Internet is a marvellous channel which can reach many people far and wide throughout the world.

The world is becoming more and more secular. Many people have turned their back on their Creator or do not know Him at all. 

Here's what I have in mind. 

What if we were to create a Blog dedicated solely to Christian articles? No humour, no food recipes, travels, gardening or such articles. Just Christian articles written by you. Yes you.

The articles could be about your experiences, when and how you met God in your life. Or about a passage from the Bible that speaks to you, or a hymn/song and its meaning to you, or anything that is Christian-based which would encourage and uplift someone who does not know God or has turned his back on Him. 

How will it work? 

I'll get someone to design the Blog for us. Suggested title: CHRISTIAN FOCUS. What do you think? 

Contributors will send their articles by email to enquiries@holyvisions.co.uk (my office). 

All that is needed is a short article every now and then; perhaps explaining a Bible text, or why a certain reading or story appeals to you or has helped you. 

You Tube videos also acceptable, or book recommendations, or even articles that have already appeared on your Blog. You could also discuss various points regarding Christianity and beliefs and how this affects our lives.

We would need about a dozen people to commit to submitting articles. This is to ensure a variety of input and to avoid a few people monopolising the conversation. 

The articles will then be published on the CHRISTIAN FOCUS blog, with your name and a link to your Blog if you wish. 

You can visit any time to check what viewers are saying and respond very much as you do now on any Blogger blog. 

Here's what would be involved. Please answer these questions honestly:

1    Do you think a Blog devoted purely to Christian articles is a good idea?

2    Would you commit to contributing about one article a month? (More is acceptable).

3    Would you be able to invite people you know (e.g. your pastor) to contribute articles every so often? Occasional articles from your friends/relatives etc ... would be welcome and contributors do not need to be members of Blogger. Articles would be sent via yourself by email. 

4    Would you be able to promote the Blog and send links to people you know who would benefit from visiting it? This is essential if we are to spread the Word to a larger audience.  

5    Would you promote/advertise the Blog on your own Blog every now and then? Also on other social media like FB, X, Instagram etc ...

Here's how we envisage the project to work.  

1    I'll get someone to design the Blog and also receive contributions from all writers via email.

2    The articles will be published on the website with your name - and if you wish a link to your Blog will be added.

3    Photos/pictures can be submitted or if you wish I shall add these to fit in with your article subject.

Please let us have your views and suggestions either in the comments box below or by writing privately to my office at: enquiries@holyvisions.co.uk

Thank you and God bless.
