Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
In my previous two messages, I’ve shared the history of how Wisconsin Christian News came to be. Because we’re now praising the Lord for the start of our 27th year of publishing, I wanted to share with you what this journey has been like.
January 1st, 2000 was a strange day for me. After more than a decade operating the photography studio I had built from scratch, I woke up that day unemployed for the first time in my life. I was doing my best to seek God’s direction for the Christian newspaper He’d called me to start. I had some ideas, and having worked for a weekly County newspaper about 14 years prior, and having seen multiple Christian newspapers from other states, I had some knowledge of how to do it.
This month marks an important milestone for me, because I’m now starting my 27th year of full time ministry in publishing Wisconsin Christian News. It’s been a long, challenging and narrow road. When I began this work, I was a young man. Now I’m old, and feeling my age, and so, I can’t help but reflect on all these years doing the “toughest job I’ve ever loved.” So, I’d like to share the story with you today, and I hope you’ll find some inspiration from it and praise the Lord along with me for all He’s done.
