Have a Good Soil Story?
If you have a Good Soil Story from your recent experience in evangelism or discipleship, we would love for you to share it with us so that others can be encouraged by God’s gracious work in the people’s lives.
Here’s how it works:
- Send us the details of your story. As you do so, you may want to anonymize the story—use fictitious names or generic references to the people in the story—if you are concerned about using actual names. If you know that it is appropriate to do so, we welcome the use of actual names.
- Our editorial staff will proofread and edit (as much as is appropriate) the story.
- We will send the edited story back to you for your final “release for publication” approval.
- The story will be added here, and possibly be used in other ABWE publications.
