Dear Frontliners,

Hello :)

As I mentioned in my first post, the ministry is new and needs support to make it happen. If you feel the need exists, please let me know! If those whom the ministry is there to benefit do not see a need, I may reconsider where I spend my ministry time and energy :) .

To produce the first edition, there are some needs that I have that you, as the ministry leaders, will need to help fill.

This is what I need;

1) share this with other ministry leaders/pastors

2) we'd like to hear/lift up your prayer requests, burdens, and praises. Email us your prayer requests.
You may remain anonymous in our published edition. Please indicate how much information you would like us to share. Example;

Prayer request info goes here.
--Anonymous. Texas, USA

...or include your name and location. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

3) Our Inbox/Outbox section needs something to work from--we need "inbox" letters from the frontliners. What are your concerns? What do you wish people knew ? Do you have questions you want to ask "the people in the pews"? etc. You can be anonymous, just indicate your desire in your submission to our email.

4) Our "Ideas Corner" section (names may change) needs some "problems" to *try* to solve. Is part of your ministry stuck in a rut? Do you feel like you're running into a brick wall in regards to a certain issue? Send us suggestions and topics that you would like creative ideas and/or solutions to. We will brainstorm within our editors team, praying,  seeking out experts, and doing some research to see what suggestions we can come up with.

5) We need topic suggestions for our "Human too" section. What are some of the struggles ministry leaders may face that you'd like to read about how to dealing with? We'll do our best to bring you spiritual, researched, and prayerfully considered responses. So send them in :)

6) our Pastor to Pastor section needs letters from pastors to pastors--so send in your letters you'd like Pastors to respond to--also, let us know if you are a willing pastor who would like to volunteer to respond to letters from time to time.

7) recommend ministries for our ministry profile

8) recommend ministry leaders to profile

9) if you've written an original devotional you would like to share with fellow ministry leaders, submit it for consideration :)

10) etc. your ideas are appreciated!

email us at frontliners.magazine@gmail.com (or click on any of the links to our email address within this message). Let us know how we can best be there to support you and your ministry. We are still looking for topics/articles to include so let us know any ideas you have. You can always indicate that you would like to remain anonymous if any of your submissions/suggestions are used in our online publications.

May God bless you....and THANK YOU for all that you do.

God bless!



Dear Supporters of Ministry Leaders,

Supporters,

I need your help! As I outlined in my last post, this ministry is just beginning and we have a lot of needs to make our first edition.

For the first edition, this is how you can help:

1) send in letters of appreciation, encouragement, and support to our ministry leaders.
2) send suggestions for ministries that are making a difference and that you'd like us to profile.
3) recommend ministry leaders for our "ministry leader of the month" profile (not only pastors but other ministry leaders who are making a difference).
4) submit your ideas and suggestions for the ministry (look over the last post at the topics, what other articles/topics should we consider?)
5) do you have an expertise that might be useful (perhaps for topics in the "human too" category, for our online presence, or perhaps you have just thought of another way to support the ministry--please contact us :)
6) original poems of appreciation, hand made art to show support, photos (you retain rights).
7) etc.

The ministry is not able to pay you for your submissions, and by submitting something it does not guarantee that it will appear in our finished product. Submissions will be reviewed by our editors.

Title your email with "submission" or "suggestion" etc.

frontliners.magazine@gmail.com

God bless,
Becky

Prayerfully Coming Soon

Ministry leaders and those who support your ministry leaders,

 After a few conversations and some late nights thinking, I realized that our ministry leaders are putting themselves out there, on the spiritual frontlines, everyday. Over time this realization has led me to believe that there is a ministry need to reach those "frontliners" encouraging them and praying for them.

 That will be the goal of this blog. The overall picture is still in development, so you can get involved now. I am seeking editors and contributors and people who have the skills needed to make this ministry a success.


Currently the idea for content of this blog/magazine include:


  • Letters from the editors (seeking more editors)



  • Devotionals-- NEED Original Devotionals (especially addressing needs ministry leaders may face)



  • Prayer Requests (from the 'frontliners') --Send them in, Frontliners.



  • Inbox (letters; questions, concerns, etc., from the 'frontliners') --Send them in, Frontliners.



  • Outbox (letters to the frontliners from supporters) --Send them in, supporters. 



  • Testimonies (from both supporters and frontliners)--Send them in for consideration. 



  • Ideas Corners (ideas on improving ministries, etc). --Send in things you need new ideas about



  • "Human too" (articles to reassure ministry leaders that we know they are human too, and in this section struggles and needs will be address) TAKING TOPIC SUGGESTIONS.




  • Pastor to Pastor -- (letters to pastors responded to by a pastor) Need both letters in and pastors willing to be contributors and respond to letters. 




  • Ministry Profile-- (profiling specific ministries)-- Send Suggestions




  • Ministry Leader of the Month-- send suggestions

This is a ministry primarily targeting the audience of SDA ministry leaders. It is still in the beginning organizing phases and can use your prayers and support. We are looking for contributors and editors. Also, anyone who has skills that may be beneficial to the ministry, please Contact us .
