We believe that God has called thousands of people around the world to publish Christian magazines. Many of these people have little or no experience in publishing, but are strongly motivated to publish, and want to make their magazines stable and effective. Our goal is to place in their hands the tools they need to carry out the vision God has given them, whether to publish for a church audience or an un-churched audience. We believe that with the proper resources these publishers could go on to train others in their own countries, regions, or elsewhere around the world. For this reason, we not only hold conferences and offer materials for the professional enrichment of individual publishers, but we produce materials they can use to train others. For a more complete statement on this, click here for a short article in PDF format entitled, "Fishburgers or fishing tackle."
Because our calling is to strengthen Christian magazine publishing, we work specifically with Christians who are already publishing magazines or who are planning to start magazines. Anyone may take advantage of resources offered on this Web site. However, because our conference funding is intended to promote and strengthen Christian magazine publishing, we do not invite individuals who are not associated with a Christian magazine.
