Hope Tour 2012 consists of three aspects: promotion for our authors, involvement in missions, and contests. This week, Ruth O'Neil involves us in all three areas. Today's post is from the Missions aspect.

As Christian writers, there are many ways to
minister to others. One of those ways, besides writing for Christian
publications is to pass the mantel on to the next generation. There are many
young people who love to put words to paper and create stories. Those young
people need two main things: Guidance and Encouragement.
Young writers need guidance to produce quality
writing. Future generation will read what future writers will write. Will it be
writing that brings people down morally or will it be writing that lifts people
up and glorifies God? These young writers need to be taught what quality
writing is and that it takes work to achieve it.
Young people also need encouragement. If a teenager
only hears negative comments about his writing, he will only quit writing all
together. Teach them what you know and gently give them constructive criticism.
Work on a writing project together if possible. Show them that not all writing
has to be religious, but it should be free from the things that go against Him.

The next time you hear of a young person that wants to be a writer, help them to reach their goals and achieve their dreams. Encourage them by asking about current writing projects. Read their stories if they ask you to. Teach them to write with integrity and not compromise their beliefs.
Be missions minded at home. Sponsor a young writer
to take writing classes or bring them along to a writer’s conference with you.
Sponsor him for a summer camp especially for young writers. In this way you can
change the future world for the better.
Be a missionary. Pass on the writing mantel.
