Well-written
articles are welcome from a wide variety
of evangelical, charismatic and Pentecostal perspectives providing
they fit within our aims
and beliefs and are written with an interdenominational flavor
and in a spirit of Christian unity. Articles should be:
There
are four levels we are trying to minister on, each with its own style
of writing and instruction. Your article should fit into one of these four
categories and its target audience. The four levels are:
Wisdom For Living: The sort of training given in the book of Proverbs, marriage
and family material, encouragement to godliness. Specific help with life problems
such as budgeting, finances, work and career, conflict ,
friendship, personal boundaries etc. The target audience here includes overseas
foreign workers, and Christian leaders in business,
government, academic and cultural life. Contributors at this level should
be mature Christians preferably with some professional qualifications (such
as psychology) in the area concerned.
Bible and Theological Training: Similar to conventional
bible colleges – OT and NT overviews, eschatology, theology, apologetics,
etc. The target audience are new pastors, deacons, elders, missionaries and
those seeking bible and theological knowledge to equip them
in ministry. Contributors at this level should have done some formal theological
training.
Specific Ministry Skills: Such as “Children’s Ministry” or “How To Share The Gospel With Buddhists”. Training in a specific area
of ministry for people who are already practitioners or wish to take up that
area of ministry. Should be solidly biblically based
while imparting the necessary practical skills and knowledge. Contributors
at this level should have considerable experience in the area of ministry
they are training others in.
Ministry Formation: For those who have been in ministry for a while and who need
a forum to reflect on their theology and practice and to develop a deeper
knowledge of God, themselves and their ministry. Contributors at this level
should possess post-graduate qualifications and have at least ten to fifteen
years experience in ministry and generally be in mid-life or older.

mention their seminars, books, training materials, church, mission or NGO
as long as they do not go over the line into blatant salesmanship. Contributors
should not ask for money or aggressively promote a particular ministry.
You
are encouraged to write well and creatively and to produce clear, useful and
practical articles that will help pastors, missionaries and Christian leaders
in
Contributors shall refrain from direct criticism of persons or ministries even if they strongly disagree with them. It is fine to criticize the practice but not the person or organization. For instance its Ok to say: “Strong emotional evangelistic appeals in crusades aimed at young children are an inappropriate and manipulative form of children’s ministry” as long as you do not say “Organization X led by Miss Y is doing it all wrong”. Students need to know the right and wrong approaches to ministry but they do not need to learn how to label and criticize other ministries.
Divisive
and extreme views of any kind are unwelcome, these include non-Trinitarian
views, baptism for salvation, speaking in tongues for salvation, keeping the
Sabbath for salvation, extreme prosperity teaching, extreme legalism such
as condemning all make-up, liberal theology, liberation theology, occult practices
and beliefs, hyper-faith, requiring Christians to keep Jewish laws and festivals,
and syncretism with pagan cultures and practices. If you are in doubt about
an aspect of your teaching please check in either Millard Erickson’s Christian
Theology or Wayne Grudem’s Systematic
Theology -
these are well known and trusted standard theologies.
