We had every intention of offering this little story as a magazine issue with advertising. However, this past week a friend spoke her heart on what she felt like the Lord was saying for The Big Girl Little Girl Book. That it was not to include advertising possibly and it was a true book rather than a magazine special edition. (Hence the title…lol..sometimes I am a bit slow)
Of course I took the counsel to heart, spoke with our designer, and went to prayer. Very quickly I ran across a sermon on Zechariah, which is the book the Lord has lately led me into. This precious Pastor discussed Zechariah 4:6
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
The pastor spoke about “might” being human effort. It spoke right into my heart and I knew the Lord was not wanting me to trust in our normal human efforts for The Big Girl Little Girl Book.
So, I made the calls that we would not be including advertising and thanked the Lord for that which would be “BY MY SPIRIT.” Now we simply await His work. As we wait, we will prepare the “book like covers” and remove this as a magazine issue. It will still be available for free in our distribution locations as are the magazine issues. But it will take on the nature of a traditional book in the marketplace and online.
Please join us in thanking Him in advance…it’s gonna be good showing of His goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S The Silent Cry Publication which will be our first outside publication for another ministry was funded by a great organization called GIVE. They will be sponsoring the entire first issue and will be highlighted as such. The Silent Cry is a publication that will be devoted to Refuge of Light and their efforts in restoration of girls rescued from human trafficking. The publication will be a 2 in 1 which will include a portion of the magazine dedicated to the ministry to girls with curriculum that teaches the Word, Bible Stories, and encourages them in their gifts for the Kingdom.
In case sponsorship is how God would like The Big Girl Little Girl Book to be handled, we are including a link to our sponsorship page. If not, then we trust Him to do as He wishes. Our aim is to get as many out to those in need as possible. We are already almost out of our last publication that was placed in our distribution centers, From My Closet to Yours. We began running low only after 2 months and we have added a couple more distribution places for our next run. Praise the Lord!!
