1. WELCOME TO OUR FIRST ISSUE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is my hope that this electronic magazine (e-zine) will be an 
encouragement and inspiration to you, as you minister to women. 
I also hope that it will be a place of community--a place to know 
you are not alone--a place to make friends--and a place to find 
the ministry helps you need. 

I started this e-zine because I know how lonely it can be when 
you are a woman in ministry. Though I have had many friends 
come alongside me when I needed guidance, encouragement, or 
advice, there have been times I could not find the connections I 
needed. I've also learned that as a "public person" with a "public 
ministry," it can be hard to find a friend who has experienced the 
issues I'm dealing with. It's been hard for me to go to my home 
church and talk about publishing woes, the dreams I have for my 
new books, or tell of an exciting event that I keynoted. As many 
of my speaking friends will attest, "My church friends love me, 
but they can't always relate!"

I have also noticed a similar phenomenon in the churches I've 
visited. Often, when I come into a church for a speaking event, I've 
found that the event coordinator feels isolated. Her leadership role 
has separated her from the very women she is trying to reach. 
Often, she tells me, "Not only do I feel alone in my ministry 
position, I often do not have the benefit of talking with others 
who have experience with the ministries I am trying to create 
or direct."

I hope this e-zine will help connect you with other women in 
ministry who are happy to share, encourage, and care about 
you and your challenges. 

Our e-zine will consist of spiritually refreshing interviews with 
women in ministry, women's ministry directors and volunteers, 
ministry helps from well-known Christian authors and speakers, 
and an encouraging story spot. 

Lastly, my non-profit, Right to the Heart, will be hosting two new 
retreats. One retreat will be held in Colorado for women's 
ministry directors and the other retreat will be held just prior to 
CBA 2001 in Georgia as an advanced writer's/speaker's retreat. 
Details to be announced.

I am glad you could join us!

2. MEET A WOMAN WHO MINISTERS TO WOMEN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meet Dee Sanford from San Diego, California. 

Linda's Note: 
Dee Sanford has founded a prayer breakfast for black women 
entrepreneurs. This is an idea I think could be emulated across 
the country by churches, speakers, and business women of all 
races and backgrounds.

Q. How did you get started?

A. I was in management in corporate American for 20 years. I 
always wanted and needed a professional support system made 
up of women who looked like me and preferably were Christians. 
. . I met a dynamic woman who exemplified professionalism and 
who was a great speaker. I decided to get a group together to 
hear her speak and to then see what materialized. Our first 
meeting had 35 women. It was a great success. 

Q. How often do you meet?

A. We meet every third Friday, except in July. 

Q. Tell us about your speakers and their topics.

A. We have a speaker at every meeting. Preferably one who 
has participated in the group at least once. We have had a variety 
of topics, including: Investments, Web Design, Managing Change, 
Team Building, Business Opportunities, Successful Aging, 
Professional speaking, and many motivational topics. Speakers 
have about 25 minutes with a 5 minute Q & A.

Q. What kind of format does your meeting have? 

A. We gather into a circle holding hands. I welcome new 
attendees and thank regulars for their support. We have an 
opening prayer and blessing of the food. 

After breakfast is served, we begin introductions, asking 
attendees to let us know what they do, what they offer, and what 
they need. After the presentation, we have community 
announcements, give away items that have been donated 
(including a free breakfast for the next meeting), have a closing 
prayer circle with an "inner circle" of folks with special needs, 
and then visit with the vendors who set up to show their wares 
or display their businesses. 

Q. How much does the event cost?

A. The breakfast is $18 in advance, $20 cash at the door. 
Vendor tables are $12 with breakfast. 

Q. Where do you hold your event and how much does that 
facility charge you?

A. We have held most of our meetings at the Quality Resort in 
San Diego's Hotel Circle in Mission Valley. 

We do not pay the hotel for the room if we make a firm commit-
ment of at least 25. Our attendance is usually between 30 and 
40 women.

Q. Do people attending the meetings have booths to exchange 
business info, or do they just mingle and pass out business 
cards?

A. All of the above. We also offer one another business 
opportunities. Several of the women are corporate employees 
who are looking for services. Members have formed strategic 
alliances to handle larger projects.

Q. What would you say to a woman who wanted to start one of 
these in her own community?

A. It is needed! Go for it! Christian business women understand 
the value and power of prayer in running a business or dealing 
with the corporate environment. 

I was pleased to see how many women responded. I didn't 
always advertise it as a prayer and networking meeting, but when 
I added "prayer" on the monthly flyer, our attendance increased 
by 50%! 

It is a lot of work, but worth it. I do most of the work myself 
(handling speakers, emailing and mailing flyers, preparing 
registration lists, receipts, creating name Subjects, facilitating, 
etc.) I keep the price low, and there is no membership fee. 

I have also controlled growth. People are brought to the meeting, 
and added to the list by invitation. This has keep the group true 
to the original cause. 

God has blessed us tremendously!

Dee's Bio:
Dee is an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and 
trainer with 26 years of corporate and entrepreneur experience. 
Dee realized that small business owners needed more exposure, 
support, training, and networking opportunities. She founded the 
African American Business Women of Vision, a Christian net-
working organization; hosts "Business to Business," a TV show 
featuring multicultural small business owners; and just organized 
the International Speakers and Trainers Group. Dee recently 
received Guru.com's "United We Work" award for her work with 
entrepreneurs.

Dee says, "Anyone can email me if she has questions or is looking 
for a speaker at Deesanford@aol.com

3. LINDA'S STORY SPOT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following is a 40-second story from the files of my radio show, 
Right To The Heart.

The king's servant carried two clay pots hung from a pole he carried 
across his shoulders. At the well, he filled each pot with cool water. 
The first pot was a fine pot that never leaked a drop. But the 
second pot leaked water back along the path. Finally the 
cracked pot protested. "Why do you use me?" he asked the 
servant. Can't you see I'm cracked?

"Ah," the servant answered. "You suit my purpose. You see, I 
have planted flowers along our path. Haven't you not noticed how 
they bloom beneath you?"

Isn't that like God? He loves to use cracked pots that will spill his 
love to others. (c) Linda Evans Shepherd 2000

4. SPEAKER'S FEATURE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Linda's Note:

As I have just come from New Orleans and CBA (The Christian 
Booksellers Convention), I have seen many of my dear friends 
who are ministering for our Lord from the platform. I was so 
impressed with their obedience to follow the call God has placed
on their lives. As many of us know, this call consists not only of 
the applause at the end of a presentation, but includes hard work 
and sacrifice. I salute all of you who make that sacrifice to 
encourage and minister to women.

Right to the Heart is also starting a moderated online group for 
ADVANCED published writers and speakers. The group is limited 
to those who have:

1. Accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.
2. Published two or more nonfiction books in either CBA or 
ABA.
3. Published works listed in Amazon.com.
4. Spoken three or more times a year to groups that consist of 
100 or more people.

To join this group, please write ADVANCED SPEAKER in the 
subject line of your next email to me at Linda@righttotheheart.com. 
Include the following in the body of the email:

NOW FOR OUR SPEAKER'S FEATURE:

Many of the top Christian speakers receive this e-zine. This corner 
will be reserved for news and helps to encourage them. For our first 
issue, Carol Kent will cover the basics of developing a powerful 
speaking strategy. 

HOW TO DEVELOP A POWERFUL SPEAKING STRATEGY

By Carol Kent


1. PREPARE YOUR HEART.

Check your motives. Are you looking for the limelight or is your 
genuine motivation to glorify God by teaching His principles to 
people who need to be evangelized, discipled, or encouraged? 
Confess all sin and ask God to open the doors where your 
teaching/speaking skills could be used.

2. OBSERVE OTHER CHRISTIAN COMMUNICATORS.

Make notes as you attend conferences and retreats. Notice the 
introduction, the clarity of the outline, the well-developed illustrations, 
and the wrap-up. What held the attention of the audience? Write 
down the delivery skills used by effective speakers.

3. ATTEND A PUBLIC SPEAKING SEMINAR.

Be a learner. Attend a class or seminar that will sharpen your 
speaking skills and give you an opportunity to "try out" your material 
in a risk-free environment. A "Speak Up With Confidence" seminar 
or CLASS" seminars will both give you training from a Christian 
perspective.

4. START WHERE YOU ARE.

Speakers do not begin their ministries at arena events. Most of 
them start with a home or church Bible study. Others begin 
sharing their personal testimonies at local Christian Women's 
Clubs or churches. Look around you. Who is in your sphere of 
influence, right now, who needs a small group study? As your 
gifts are developed and recognized, people who have been 
challenged by your teaching/speaking will spread the word to 
others. That's how ministry multiplies.

5. KNOW YOUR AIM.

Write a mission statement for your message. Answer the question: 
What do I want to encourage my audience to DO as a result of 
hearing this talk? Use verbs that define a follow-through change in 
attitude or behavior that could be evaluated as being completed by 
the next week. If your aim statement seems too weak, add on the 
question, "by doing WHAT?"

POWERFUL SPEAKING MINISTRY IN THE FALL ISSUE OF 
E-ZINE!

5. BOOK NOTES:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This segment is about new books! Our first guest is Leslie 
Vernick, the author of The TRUTH Principle (WaterBrook Press.) 

Leslie Vernick shares the heart of her book, The TRUTH Principle, 
with us ~ 

"Have you ever tried talking with someone who wasn't listening? 
Or worse, was hearing you but not believing you? Our relationship 
with God is often like that. Sometimes our prayers are one way 
conversations where the only one doing the talking is us. Prayer 
is a dialogue, not a monologue. It is a two way conversation, 
talking and listening. For as Psalm 46:10 says, 'Be still and 
know that I am God.'

"God doesn't just want us to believe in Him, but to believe Him. '
Abram believed God and it was credited unto him as righteous-
ness.' (Genesis 15:6)

"Believing God leads to a deeper trust and a willingness to obey 
Him out of love, not duty. Jesus tells us 'if anyone loves me, he 
will obey my teaching.' (John 14:23)

"Intimacy with God is something most of us want, but fewer know 
how to cultivate. Hearing Him, believing Him, loving Him and 
obeying Him will transform our faith from knowledge in our head to 
life-changing trust in our heart."

Leslie Vernick, author of The TRUTH Principle - A Life Changing 
Model For Spiritual Growth and Maturity (WaterBrook Press, 2000)

Ordinary Woman/Extraordinary God
"A Lighthearted Place on the Web for Today's Christian Women"

This outreach started in April 1999 by screenwriter, author, and 
speaker Misty Taggart, has grown from just a handful of women 
to a mailing list verging on 6,000. The OWEG website is #3 on 
the Christian Counter - and has hit over 450,000 views since 
September 1999.

"I started OWEG for me," said Misty, with a smile, "because I 
needed a place to share my love for the Lord and what He has 
done in my life. I was compelled to do it with my gift of writing." 

Other women must have needed it too. As the OWEG website and 
her online journaling workshops quickly became so popular Misty 
has added more workshop dates and is traveling around the country 
speaking at churches and women's seminars.

The women on her growing email list receive a monthly online 
OWEG Newsletter, new 'Imagined by Misty' pages and updates on 
her other new writings and speaking dates. They also take advantage 
of Online chats with noted Christian women . . . See what's new in 
Christian books and, also, visit the OWEG Gift Shop - for wonderful 
gifts to remind each one they are an ORDINARY WOMAN with an 
EXTRAORDINARY God.

To quote one of the OWEGers who wrote in Misty's guestbook. 
"OWEG is where I go when the day has been beating me down. I 
smile, I cry . . . and I feel close to God."
