Kiwi young writers program for 2019

The Kiwi young writers at the 2018 young writer conference held at the Christchurch Salvation Army Centre in September determined to go alone after being part of Australia’s Press Service International for 7 years..

  • Dear beloved

    I wish you would live as if you’ve fallen in love. I wish you would stand captivated by the beauty of creation by the Creator, counting all the blue shades that so prettily follow the sun and all those shades of the falling sun.

  • Overcoming shame: More of You, less of me

    God’s grace and mercy has been on my mind a lot lately.

  • Men aren’t the problem, people are

    The world isn’t as it should be. You only need to go online or open any newspaper and you’ll see stories about people being victimised; taken advantage of by those in power over them. This is abhorrent and is an aberration of how the world is meant to be.

  • Our practical desires from the Lord

    What are our desires from the Lord? I will never forget the time that I was in Goa, on the west coast of India. I had taken a train there which is a story in itself. I arrived at this beach that I think was called Colva. It was quite a pretty beach and there were many western tourists there, not many of them were very friendly though.

  • Excellence

    One morning in India a word came into my head.

  • I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want

    Since music was created (a long long time ago) composers have dealt with the subjects of love and relationships; these themes comprise the most prominent genre of music.

  • The Untold Story of CrossWhites Football

    The CrossWhites are the New Zealand Christian football representative teams playing international football. Sounds like a religious group? The truth is that participants do not need to profess Christian faith to take part. Players are selected based on merit.

  • Into the Wilderness

    It’s there on the number plates – ‘Alaska: the last frontier.’

  • Put Rest in Your Schedule

    Do you find time to rest?

  • Rooted Within

    New Zealand has now been home to me and my family for almost 19 years. Having grown up under the African sun, the storms of the South Pacific were a whole new experience for us.

  • My Tangled Fear and Faith

    Hope and faith. Trust and faith. Love and faith. Some common terms I hear in the Christian world.  Goes together, hand in hand. But what I tend to experience more is fear and faith.
