Contributors Guidelines
Before submitting a devotion, please read these guidelines to learn what we are looking for in the devotions we publish.
Be A Witness Ministry Daily Devotions is meant for an international audience of Christians who share their faith with each other. Our aim is to encourage believers in their daily life of prayer and discipleship. We seek to build on what unites us as Christians and connect individuals in a life of prayer and devotion around the globe.
These devotions are written by ordinary people like you who are each day listening to God and trying to live by His precepts.
How Do I Begin or Get Started Writing?
You begin in the relationship you have with God. Good devotionals make the word of God comes alive. We find that by reading scripture and seeking connections between scripture and daily life you can get meaningful ideas. Here is a simple plan you can use to help formulate your thoughts.
- Summarize the Bible passage or teachings briefly.
- Describe the situation that you link the Bible verse with alluding to specific incidents. Use as many concrete, sensory details of real-life situations as you can.
- Tell how spiritual truths can be applied to life in the future. Tell how readers can take action after the reading.
- Look carefully at what you have written after a few days and decide what best conveys the message you are trying to share with others. Your submission can be no longer than 250 words.
- You are now ready to submit your meditation to be considered for publication at Be A Witness Ministry.
Tips To Remember
- Great devotionals usually include a personal experience, a connection to scripture or provide a way for readers to apply the message to their lives.
- Encourage readers to have a deeper connection with God and the Bible.
- Give reference to the original source of materials you quote or historical facts you make reference to. Devotionals containing quotes or other secondary material that can’t be verified will not be used. We do not publish devotions containing poetry, song lyrics, and quotations for which we would need to ask permission from another publisher to use.
- Previously published work cannot be used.
- Submit up to 250 words
- Seek to bring across one point.
- Include your name and contact information with each submission.
- Your contact information will not be disclosed in our publishing.
