Congratulating the winners, Mr Nelson Vincent appreciated the efforts of the writers in the contest from putting pen to paper, down to the online website voting stage by the shortlisted participants. He also commended the literary skill, exemplary choice of words and the overall adherence of the writers to the theme of the contest.
The 2023 contest which was themed “Unashamed of the Gospel” was inspired by Scriptures in Romans 1:16.

Today, the writing contest has evolved to recognise the efforts and excellence of Christian writers and creatives, show them to the world and ultimately preach the gospel of Christ through creative writing.
