Faith Fact and Fiction - Ministry Goals
MISSION
Using Words to Bring Light into the lives of my readers by helping them discover biblical truth through Scripture, story, and Spirit-led encouragement.
VISSION
To encourage believers to live with an eternal perspective while pointing every reader toward Jesus Christ through Christian fiction, devotionals, biblical teaching, mentoring and an authentic Christian community.
CORE VERSE
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
This reminds me to keep my focus on Goe's eternal kingdom rather than the temporary concerns of this world.
Dedication
To Him who is the LIGHT of the World.
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. John 1:4
My ministry exists to honor Jesus Christ, to faithfully proclaim His truth, and to encourage other to walk in His LIGHT until He comes again.
Hope is eternal.
MINISTRY PRINCIPLE
Every book, article, devotional, journal, course, conversation and resource is created for One Purpose.
To faithfully illuminate God's Truth, strengthen faith, encourage discernment, and point people to Jesus Christ, with an eternal perspective.
Everything else, including publishing, marketing, design, technology, and business, is simply a tool to help Christ's LIGHT be reflected farther.
Serve before selling.
CALLING
Faith Fact and Fiction exists to use my gifts of writing, teaching, creativity and encouragement to help people know God more deeply through His Word.
Whether through Christian fiction, devotionas, biblical teaching, mentoring or community, every work should invite readers into a close relationship with Jesus Christ and a greater understanding of His eternal Purpose.
Christ above all.
The Word of God, the Bible, is the final authority in all things. Jesus Christ is at the center of everything I do, and I point my readers to him.
Plus, excellence in all I do, as if I am working for the Lord.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23-24
I am not building a platform for self-promotion
This is a ministry
My books are not the destination
My books are invitations, as are my blogs or anything else I write
My goal is not simply to publish books, but to create resources that help people know Christ more fully, understand the Word of God more deeply, and live with hope in every season, knowing there is promised, exciting eternity ahead.
I don't measure success merely by numbers, but by my faithfulness to God's calling, and the number of people whom I will meet in heaven that I've helped lead them there.

CHRIST ABOVE ALL - Every resource should point toward Jesus, God, and eternity with hope

Father,
May every word I write honor You.
May every story point toward Jesus.
May every devotional deepen faith.
May every reader encounter Your love.
Dear Lord, protect this ministry, and especially me, from pride, distraction, and compromise.

In Jesus' name.
