Submit an Article or Story

ABWE’s blog exists not only to profile stories of existing missionaries and ministries thriving in cross-cultural settings, but also to stir theological, missiological, or devotional reflection from a biblical perspective.

If you have an idea or a lead for an article or story, email your proposal or suggestion to communications@abwe.org. You are welcome to suggest incomplete ideas or stories of things you’ve witnessed while serving on the field. If the idea or story resonates, our editorial team will contact you and begin to flesh out the details.

If you have completed content you’d like to submit, we welcome outside submissions for blog articles, social media posts, or magazine story ideas that:

  • (1) aim to encourage people to think critically about a particular aspect of ministry,
  • (2) bring unique attention to a need in the world or to a particular people group,
  • (3) unpack a passage of Scripture for theological or devotional insight relevant to the missiological endeavor,
  • or (4) address a particular cultural or social issue relevant to cross-cultural ministry from a biblical perspective.

Submissions should be roughly 300-1,200 words (the sweet spot is 600-900) and conform, if possible, to AP style (if you’re not familiar with AP, don’t worry about it). Submitted content that contains grammatical, punctuation, spelling, or significant stylistic errors will not be considered. Content submitted must also conform to ABWE’s statement of faith, particularly on primary gospel-level issues.

Complete the form below and attach a Word or PDF file with your full, proofread submission in 12 pt. Times New Roman or Calibri font. Please include in the file submission a brief bio (no more than 150 words) of yourself for inclusion beneath the article.
