Christian Writers Fellowship International is a multi-service ministry to Christians in publishing. For 30 years we have encouraged and equipped writers to minister to readers with writing of the highest biblical and professional standards. We encourage them to make Jesus Christ - His love and gift of salvation - the centerpiece of every writing, teaching, and speaking opportunity. We urge them to use their writing and speaking gifts to do their part in fulfilling the Great Commission.
| Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. —ROMANS 10:18, NIV |

Once again, Cec Murphey has asked CWFI to oversee the granting of scholarships for the
2010 Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference. This year he will sponsor
a total of 10.
Blue Ridge is a premier conference on the east coast. It is scheduled for May 16-20, 2010. Check the LifeWay Web Site for more details about the conference: http://www.lifeway.com/ridgecrest. Terms for the scholarships are the same as last year: All room, board and tuition costs will be paid by the Cecil B. Murphey Foundation. Winners are responsible only for travel costs to and from the conference. Rooms for winners will be double-occupancy, and scholarships will be awarded based on financial need and close attention to entry instructions. These scholarships are open to anyone who writes. If you have writer-friends who are not members of the CWFI Family, but who would benefit from this opportunity, please pass along information to them or send them to the CWFI home page: www.cwfi-online.org. We will announce the 10 winners in the March/April 2010 issue of Cross & Quill and on the CWFI Web site. |
