Mission
Statement...
To
uplift and encourage the body of Christ; grant mercy to
those in need in the body and outside, doing everything
to the glory of Christ in the power of His name. When God
directs, to accomplish these things through my writing,
or through proofreading and editing.
Statement
of Faith...
I
believe in God the Father; Jesus the Son; and the Holy Spirit.
I believe Jesus was born of a virgin, and He was without
sin. I believe He died on the cross for our sins; that He
was buried in a borrowed tomb and rose on the third day.
He now sits at the right hand of God where He intercedes
for the saints. I believe that all who believe in Jesus
will not perish, but have everlasting life. I believe the
Bible is the infallible Word of God.
As
a Christian proofreader/editor, I will not accept work on
any manuscript that isn't God-honoring.
