At the end of the Forum, participants took important first steps toward the creation of books and articles for the general market. Several publicly shared ideas they plan to implement in their work.
Anna Schirochenskaya, of Triad Publishing in Russia, said, “I felt God putting on my heart a new series for young people, ages sixteen to eighteen. They’re asking philosophical questions about life…they’re so bright and talented. It would be a shame to lose them.”
Steven Dixon, of Editions Farel in France, added, “I’d really like to launch a new brand of books geared toward young professionals. In France, they have a whole different way of experiencing life, and the Church is not speaking to them.”
Daniela Encheva, with Leah magazine in Bulgaria, promised, “I will do three things: (1) start asking braver and smarter questions, (2) not feel guilty when I take risks and (3) throw a great party to celebrate our women’s magazine’s tenth anniversary!”
MAI is committed to helping Christian publishers in the Majority World produce locally-created books and articles that nurture the Church and attract readers to Christ.
