TESTI MONIAL
AA few years ago, I was asked by Homer and Angela to write a 500word excerpt for publication in the Share Magazine. I was totally caught off guard, and was very reluctant. In school, I always felt challenged when asked to write. I believed I lacked the intellect and confidence to fulfill such a task. However, I took on the challenge. On my first attempt, I rewrote the text at least a thousand times. But it was through this first experience that I was taught how to depend more on the Holy Spirit; and, as a result, the writing became less challenging and very interesting. Again, I was asked to write another. This excerpt spurred a greater challenge that I did not know would change my life completely. It is through the penning of this excerpt that God revealed His desire for me to draw closer to Him. First, He revealed the deepest secrets of my heart; then, led me to repentance and ultimately to rest in the opportunity of having an intimate relationship with Him. I am grateful that Homer and Angela were obedient in their call to develop the Shared Magazine, a medium that God
has used to unveil the creative mind that he has instilled in all of its contributors. Homer and Angela, congratulations on 10 years producing the Shared Magazine! My prayer is that God will continue to bless your ministry as He uses it to inspire others to discover their creativity, in the same way it has inspired me. To Him be all the Glory, Honor and Praise. p
In His Love and Service, Karen. Be Blessed

TESTIMONIAL
“Whaaat? No, no, I can’t do that!” That was my initial (and subsequent) response to Angela whenever she asked me to write an article for the SHARE Magazine. Finally, through a lot of encouragement and Angela nudging me on, I managed to write up an article, thinking that once she read it, she will soon realise that I am not the right person, and she will then not ask me anymore. So to my utter surprise, she said, “it wasn’t too bad, the content is good, it just needs a bit of tweaking,” and even more surprisingly, later on I learnt that it did bless people who read them. This readership feedback really made me take this writing seriously. That was the start of my journey into the SHARE Magazine. Even though I was first led, kicking and dragged to the water, to dip and taste it. I often
“W doubted myself but Angela knew the topics closest to my heart, and thus I felt a bit more comfortable with the assignments that she asked to me to write on a regular basis. Through Angela’s literary guidance, reassurance and her inspiration, I have found that I have tasted the sweetness of the water, of writing, and it was very refreshing. SHARE gave

me this platform for which I will be eternally grateful. I have to admit that I felt that my voice was heard, and that I actually could express some of my own thoughts. What a wonderful experience it has been for me!
According to my dear editor, Angela, I have much, more to say. So, I will carry on trusting her judgement and I will do my best to remain close to the Fountain of Life, which is my wellspring of inspiration. I look forward to SHARE Magazine pivoting in a new and exciting digital direction and I will have to keep up with all this ‘techie stuff’ but I’m up for it. Congratulations SHARE Magazine! Ten years of consistently getting the gospel message out into the public sphere is remarkable. I pray for God’s continued blessing in all your endeavours. p

TESTIMONIAL
IIt’s not very often that you come across a Magazine that is so comprehensive. From testimonials to instructions, strategies and biblical perspectives on hard and unmentionable topics such as masturbation, to name a few, SHARE Magazine has successfully navigated the literary space with its impactful and insightful articles. As a recent contributor and reader of SHARE Magazine, I am totally impressed with the production and publication of the Magazine. Apart from the thought provoking and life challenging articles, the attractiveness of the cover forces you to look beyond it, and once inside, you are pulled into a space that causes you to remain there until you have consumed every article.
A copy of this Magazine should be in every home and used as a tool in youth groups, as its topics are relatable to
many areas of family life and relevant to the inquiring minds of the youths. It answers questions that are difficult for some parents to talk about, and using it in youth groups will give young people a voice to express themselves in a nonthreatening environment and engenders and provokes thoughtful conversations.
As SHARE Magazine celebrates its 10th anniversary, I pray that this medium will continue to be an avenue that cultivates and hones the skills of persons who have a desire and a commitment to writing, and that readers and contributors will be intentional in introducing this rare commodity to others.
Congratulations SHARE Magazine on your 10th anniversary and for sharing the gospel in a new and refreshing way. p

TESTIMONIAL
OOn this milestone of ten years running, I would like to genuinely congratulate all contributors, and our incredible Editor Angela Slack. When Auntie Angela asked me to contribute an article several years ago, I remember thinking that I wasn’t sure what value I could really bring. Challenged by her unexpected invitation, I was prompted to dig deep, and I remember fondly how much she celebrated what I submitted and really championed my writing ability beyond what I could ever hope for.
The legacy of SHARE Magazine to me has been a productive platform where Christians can find and cultivate their voice, to speak to a wider generation at scale. The content is engaging, theologically rich, devotionally inclined and kingdom building.
My prayer is that the Lord will add to the number of contributors 10% increase year on year, and that the financial and human resources will come to expand and sustain this work until Christ’s imminent return! p
Yours in Christ, Dr. Joel Brown MD FRSA
