New Idea Coming to Fruition
October 10, 2011
FaithProfiles.org started as a dream, grew into a goal, and is now a website. Journalist Carey Kinsolving longed to re-shape his successful Good News Writing Workshop into something that would help writers tap into the power of the Internet. Part of that vision was to provide a place for Christian writers, both professional and amateur, to immediately publish their own life-changing stories. The result is FaithProfiles.org.
Kinsolving is eager to help pastors and churches enable their people to reach out and even evangelize with the tools offered at FaithProfiles.org. A Christian writer with a ready-to-publish personal testimony can get his/her own Life Page on the Faith Profiles website, along with a custom URL for easy sharing. This URL can also be placed on special business cards known as Life Cards for a way to quickly share a Life Page by handing them out while on-the-go.
The Testimony Writing Workshop feeds into this by giving practical instruction on how to write a succinct and compelling personal testimony. It also provides insights for how to optimize one’s story for maximum traffic through search engines. “One of the most exciting things about this,” said Kinsolving, “is that an individual’s personal story could potentially be ministering to strangers all over the world, 24 hours a day!”
