A letter of hope does not return empty. And in a nation of almost 15 million potential readers, that\u2019s a lot of hope to go around!<\/p>\n

Susan Binion of Union Bible Institute (UBI) Publishing\u00ad\u2014 one of the largest publishers of isiZulu Christian literature\u2014wrote to us recently of\u00a0Letters of Hope Mpumuza<\/em>, a\u00a0writing contest inspired by MAI\u2019s LittAfrica 2023<\/a>, in which young people were invited to write a letter to their generation inspiring hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Christians, we are people of hope. We seek ways to engender hope and celebrate our reasons for hope as the gospel transforms individuals, communities and the world,\u201d Susan said.<\/p>\n

From over 100 entries, a panel of 7 judges chose 20 finalists to attend a writers’ workshop led by a local author,\u00a0Steph Ebert<\/a>. Other workshop facilitators included MAI-Africa\u2019s\u00a0Joan Campbell<\/a>, author\u00a0Lyn Pickering<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Lwazi Shwala<\/a>, winner of the LittAfrica 2023 Letters of Hope contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI helped to read and mark the work of some of the entrants, and was deeply touched by their individual stories,\u201d said Lyn. \u201cDrug abuse, drunkenness, absentee fathers, poverty\u2014and yet, despite all these setbacks, hope shone through many of the letters. Some recognized that real hope lay in the knowledge and love of Jesus as their Lord and Savior.\u201d<\/p>\n

The twenty students at the workshop had the opportunity to learn about editing, give each other feedback on their writing in small groups, and talk with local authors. Their letters were published in a book. Each student received a copy, as well as their seven different schools.<\/p>\n

\"\"The long game<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For Susan, distributing copies of\u00a0Letters of Hope Mpumuza\u00a0<\/em>was a highlight of last year. She then had the joy of hearing about its impact. \u201cYouth mentors, teachers and friends of the participants all testified that being a part of the program had changed the students’ lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, three of the students have joined a writers\u2019 group facilitated by a local author, coming to UBI Publishing every couple of weeks for encouragement and to discuss their writing.<\/p>\n

In February 2025, a local school librarian organized a World Read Aloud Day celebration, during which four finalists in the\u00a0Letters of Hope<\/em>\u00a0contest read their entries to fellow students who came along.<\/p>\n

\u201cI confess it was a time-consuming process,\u201d Susan said of the contest, workshop and publication. \u201cBut we are playing a long game here. We trust that cultivating a love of writing and reading among young people will eventually bear fruit in the lives of those who learn to love God’s Word and the Savior it reveals, and that some will become authors, recording their spiritual insights for the generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

From writing to publishing local authors<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Susan herself is a writer, and when she first started leading publishing projects at UBI, went to LittWorld in Kenya to learn more.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything I learned there I eventually put to use,\u201d Susan said. \u201cThat is not an exaggeration!\u201d<\/p>\n

Later, MAI-Africa\u2019s Lawrence Darmani ran a writers\u2019 workshop for UBI, and MAI Director of Publisher Development Ramon Rocha ran a publishing workshop, engaging directly with the publications team and answering questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing that stayed with me was Susan’s commitment to publish not only in English but in the isiZulu language, and to grow the number of UBI books in isiZulu,\u201d Ramon said. \u201cI thought that was an excellent, God-pleasing publishing mission: to reach more and more isiZulu readers in the southern African region with life-transforming materials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local demand for local writing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Almost 15 million people (24.4%) speak isiZulu, making it the most widely spoken African language in the country, according to a\u00a02025 report from Statistics South Africa<\/a>. A\u00a0national reading survey\u00a0<\/a>found that demand for reading in languages such as isiZulu is high, with 76% who read for enjoyment reporting wanting to read in African languages.<\/p>\n

To help meet this need, UBI has been publishing books by local authors such as the recent release\u00a0Impilo Yobukristu Yangoqobo<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cThe Genuine Christian Life\u201d) by Bongekile Nene Dumisa and popular title\u00a0Inkonzo Yamadlozi<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u201cThe Worship of Ancestors\u201d) by A. Mpanza.<\/p>\n

One of the team\u2019s current projects is a collection of stories to help parents explain ancestor worship to their children, and how Christians can respond. Another is a revised family devotional,\u00a0Masifundisane Ngezphezulu,<\/em>\u00a0based on Tyndale House Publishers founder Ken Taylor\u2019s\u00a0Devotions for the Children\u2019s Hour.<\/em><\/p>\n

Local and global partnerships<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cOne of our main goals in associating with MAI has been to connect UBI Publishing to the wider world and to people who can help it thrive,\u201d Susan said. \u201cWe want to be sure UBI has the tools to provide relevant, biblically-based material to build God\u2019s kingdom in South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n

UBI Publishing also works closely with local organizations such as\u00a0Ithemba Projects<\/a>, which aims to build strong community structures through youth mentoring and early childhood development, which has included producing locally authored books.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most obvious thing in all of this is that no one could ever have orchestrated all these connections and opportunities,\u201d Susan said. \u201cThis is God\u2019s doing!\u201d<\/p>\n

How you can pray<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Pray for the impact of\u00a0Letters of Hope Mpumuza\u00a0<\/em>and other books at UBI Publishing.\u00a0<\/em>Pray that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Young people will love to read and write<\/li>\n
  • Young readers will learn to love God\u2019s Word and Jesus as Savior<\/li>\n
  • Young Christians will write God-given insights for future generations<\/li>\n
  • The young writers\u2019 group can continue to meet and flourish<\/li>\n
  • Families and communities will be strengthened through locally written Christian books<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
