In April of 2016, John Kirschman and His Story Christian Gift Center hosted a motivational event connecting local authors and aspiring writers. Based on 2 Timothy 1:6, “Therefore I remind you that you stir up the gift of God, which is in you…,” this afternoon was dedicated to inspiring, informing, and networking with area writers.

Pam was assisted by her talented office assistant, Grace Thorson, and was joined by a wonderful group of professionals. A diverse range of issues were covered in the presentations: enlarging borders in ministry writing; journalism; writing from personal experience; and how to write with boldness.

An afternoon panel of writers and professionals pooled their shared experience to answer questions from the participants.

It was a glorious event, and your talk was especially inspirational for me.

Our ladies enjoyed you when you came to speak at our ladies’ ministry meeting…Everyone I talked to said it was one of our best meetings. Even my seven-year-old granddaughter listened to every word (which is a miracle) and asked questions on the way home that gave her mother a good chance to talk about God’s love.
