Pray: MAI-Europe Publishing Forum
This September 6-10, nearly 60 top Christian publishing leaders from across Europe will gather in England to network, strategize and hone their marketing skills. “Maximizing the Market in Times of Crisis and Change” will provide an environment to inform, equip, and inspire publishers, authors, editors and designers.
“For me, one of the most precious parts of MAI conferences is connecting with people from all over the world, who are in the same boat with me. When I doubt the usefulness of what I’m doing, I say to myself it’s happening all over the world, I’m not alone doing my thing. There is a WE in Christian publishing and over the years MAI has been working to build this WE community.”
--Anna Shirochenskaya, Triad Christian Publishing, Moscow
Please pray with us for:
• A successful Forum that will powerfully train and encourage everyone, so that all participants can be better equipped to proclaim the message of the Gospel in their own cities.
• Participants still negotiating funding, visas and letters of invitation, that all who should be there will be able to come.
• Speakers preparing material in addition to all their normal work, that what they bring will ‘fit’ in a wonderful way with people’s needs.
• Those travelling alone, and new to all this – that God will give them peace of mind, and that all will arrive safely.
• That the Forum will result in many new friendships and a network of mutual support for the future.
