1. Pass on the vision of writing ministry, train writers for Kingdom ministry  

The main goal for these writing courses is to help train writers, editors as well as translators for church publications and mass media ministries. Writers are encouraged to become evangelists by using all kinds of cultural mediums to voice out a Christian perspective that is presented in a day-to-day language that speaks to today’s generation.

Every year the Genesis Writing Institute conducts a one-week writing boot camp.  During the intensive week-long training, students elect to choose from writing essentials, editing, translations and culture totaling 6-7 courses. Students are taught under the overarching principle that“A genuine commitment precedes everything, workers shall come before their works and the lives of authors shall speak volume of their writings.”Through these classes, students are instilled in them a spiritual sound character and learn to embrace humble servanthood.

Students graduated from the GCWMI Writing Camps(and KRC Writing Workshop established 10 years ago)have become prolific writers, editors, and translators. Their works are published in church publications as well as in the secular media.  Some of them went on to have their own books published, become chief editors for magazines, blog writers, or award-winning authors. Over the years, the GCWMI alumnus have proven themselves to be a formidable force in Northern America.

In 2011 GCWMI expanded its writing classes from North America to South East Asia and continuing to serve under limited circumstances.

2. Equip the Christian laymen with communication skills

The training courses provided by the GCWMI are geared towards preparing Christian laymen to become better servants whether in preaching or teaching, enhancing their overall communication skills to impact the world.

The author of“Spiritual Leadership”Blackaby said in his book that spiritual leaders ought to be “students of language and communication”. He believes it’s essential for spiritual leaders to acquire communication skills even with help of the Holy Spirit’s presence. 

Blackaby went on to say “traditionally, the most effective form of communication has been the story.” Stories have power to touch and influence lives. In Christian ministry, a vision can be best shared by telling a story. A powerful story can draw men and women to commit to God’s services; a riveting story with a testimony enables men to see God’s mighty acts.

This is why the GCWMI provides full scholarship for seminary students who are the future leaders. All full-time ministers are exempt from the registration fees. We encourage all spiritual leaders and Christian laymen to come to train with us to become effective storytellers.
