創世紀文字培訓書苑
在時代裡攜手，於時間裡傳承
推動文字事奉，創寫新的世紀
眾所周知，華人基督教文字事奉仍在草創時期，基督教文學也尚待開發。許多華人基督徒作者，正在摸索如何在筆下呈現有血有肉的信仰。甚至尋求是否有來自上帝的呼召，部分或全時間投入基督教的文字事奉。
本書苑旨在傳遞文字事奉異象，提供屬靈環境尋求文字事奉呼召，透過密集營會研發紙槍筆彈，裝備文字工人書寫各類帶基督教訊息或價值觀的作品，並牧養文字工人的靈命。
我們提供實地第一線的文字事奉進昇課程，教導寫作、編輯、採訪和翻譯等。也在課程內提供思想裝備，包括文化宏觀、人文思想走向與文學欣賞。旨在結合神學、文學、宣教與個人信仰經歷，用筆，透過不同媒體，呈現道成肉身的信仰。營會外，我們尚提供寫作團契，文章修改與靈命造就。我們相信創作也許在孤獨中完成，但生命是在社群中長成，工人先於工作，作者先於作品。
短程間，本書苑盼能為各教會文字出版和多媒體傳播，栽培編輯團隊和作者群。或為神學院裝備牧師或傳道人，學習用創意方式活現訊息於各類講道。我們更鼓勵每一位基督徒能學習用筆整理內在世界，創建個人內在靈魂，再轉而寫出個人精采的故事與見證。
長期裡，本書苑願能結合當代華人基督徒作者在時代裡攜手，於時間裡傳承，推動文字事奉，開發中文文字事奉原荒，並創寫新的世紀。
歡迎教會或個人以禱告、金錢或行動，贊助我們的異象與服事。

Vision Statement For Genesis Chinese Writing Ministry Institute
Genesis Chinese Writing Ministry Institute is a non-denominational and non-profit
organization. It was founded by a group
of devoted Christian writers who desired to serve God through writing. The faith-based
ministry is established to help equip, disciple and shepherd Chinese Christian writers
called with the same vision to minister through writing and build a spiritual community
for Chinese Writing Ministry.
It is best known that Chinese Christian
writing ministry is only in its pioneer stage; so is the Chinese Christian literature
which is still in its developing stage. Many writers with Christian faith today
struggle as to how to present their faith in writing as the Word becomes flesh.
Some are searching for a calling from God as others are discerning whether to devote
part time or full time in writing ministry.
It is our mission to carry out the vision
of Christian Writing Ministry, by providing a spiritual environment for writers
called to serve, holding various workshops to hone the writers craft, or simply
training people to weave a Christian perspective into their writing as well as providing
spiritual formation for writers, editors, and translators.
The Institute offers a wide-range of writing
classes including basic writing, editing, interviewing, and translation for beginners
as well as advanced writers. The classes
also cover an overview of culture, trends in humanities, and literature appreciation.
The classes are designed to integrate theology, literature, mission and personal
spiritual journey into writing so as to present the day-to-day living faith in a
vibrant way through different media. It is our core belief that workers should come
before their works and that the lives of authors should speak volume of their writings.
In the short run, the Institute seeks
to serve as a training ground for churches in developing its own editorial teams
or writers in publications as well as in the area of multi-media communications.
It also wishes to help theological seminaries to equip pastors or ministers to present
messages and sermons through creative ways. Furthermore, it is our hope that every
Christian should be able to organize their inner thoughts, establish their inner
souls, and eventually present their personal testimonies in forms of writing.
In the long run, the Institute intends to connect with other seasoned Chinese Christian
writers, to work collaboratively in the 21st century, to carry on the
vision from generation to generation, to promote Chinese writing ministry, and to
create a new era .
This ministry is supported by the prayers and financial support of
individuals and churches who share our vision. If you consider making a gift to
