Why Writing to Serve
I’m on a mission to start a “Writing to Serve” movement across this country — to ignite a fire to unleash every Servant Writer.
First, let me clarify what I mean by a “Servant Writer.” A Servant Writer is one who writes first and foremost with the goal to serve the needs of others, to make a difference, and to bring glory to God — the source of every gift and blessing we have. Publication, notoriety, monetary success, and self-expression are perks, which may or may not be part of the reward package for your effort.
If you are not already writing to serve, you may be reading these words, mumbling to yourself, “I’m not a writer… I’ve never written anything… In fact, I hate writing… writing is not my thing…writing takes too much time… too much work…too much energy…” Or worse yet, “I dIowant to write — it has been a secret dream,but… I’m not a good writer…. I’m too old to learn… I don’t have time to learn… I don’t have time to write…”
Let me give you five compelling reasons why I believe there’s a Servant Writer in you. If you can agree with at least one of them, it’s time for you to unleash the Servant Writer in you… Read more

Hi, Maria,
Your site is wonderful. I’d love to chat with you sometime about ministering to our loved ones through caregiving as we carry on our writing ministries, as well as touching lives through speaking ministries. These areas are especially meaningful to me. Thank you so much for your investment in lives.
