But you\u2019ve been investing in local writers since 2006. Why?<br \/>\n<\/strong>When I started working as an editor here in 1990, I checked the translations. I would wrestle with a manuscript, asking, <em>How could we present it in the best cultural form?<\/em> Despite all our efforts to adapt non-Pakistani books to our culture, they still didn\u2019t meet the heart needs of our readers. The real solution was local writers. So, in 2006 MAI trainer Larry Brook (right in photo below) led a workshop to train children\u2019s writers. It yielded rewarding fruit. Since then, we have not published any translations for kids or youth, only stories by Pakistani authors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about one of your successful children\u2019s authors.<a href=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Robinson-Samuel-book-cover2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6636\" src=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Robinson-Samuel-book-cover2-206x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"133\" height=\"194\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>Pastor Robinson Samuel Gill is a great storywriter. The way he describes settings and uses idioms is all Pakistani. We publish six or seven of his stories in a small booklet almost every year and market these to parents:\u00a0 &#8220;If your children want bedtime stories, read these good Christian stories to them in 10 to 15 minutes each.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About four years ago, he and I were discussing the popularity of horror stories among youth. &#8220;Why can\u2019t we write a Christian horror story?&#8221; Robinson asked. So, he wrote one based on his experience, and we published <em>After Midnight<\/em>. It describes a Christian family who moves into a haunted house where one son is bothered by an evil spirit. The story became very popular among readers ages 12 and 13.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you found it more expensive to train local authors?<br \/>\n<\/strong>It\u2019s a pity but we\u2019re just paying peanuts to our local writers due to budgetary reasons. As we grow, we need to pay them properly. It\u2019s easy to raise funds to publish books from the West in Pakistan, but it\u2019s financially difficult to publish books by local writers.\u00a0 Within five years, my hope is that 70 percent of our titles published each year will be locally authored. This year 25 to 35 percent of our published titles are by local writers. The Lord has boosted our morale, and we are encouraged to do more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6612\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6612\" style=\"width: 246px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/LB_10_2006-077-Larry-Brook-in-Pakistan-cropped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6612\" src=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/LB_10_2006-077-Larry-Brook-in-Pakistan-cropped-300x252.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"246\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/LB_10_2006-077-Larry-Brook-in-Pakistan-cropped-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/LB_10_2006-077-Larry-Brook-in-Pakistan-cropped-600x505.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/LB_10_2006-077-Larry-Brook-in-Pakistan-cropped-222x187.jpg 222w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/LB_10_2006-077-Larry-Brook-in-Pakistan-cropped.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6612\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MAI trainer Larry Brook (right) led a children&#8217;s writer workshop in 2006.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nWhat kind of training are you doing now?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Last December we held a two-day workshop for very select writers, only 10 including myself. They came with a researched topic. At the end of Day 1, they evaluated each other\u2019s outlines in a group discussion. By the end of Day 2, seven writers had nearly completed a first draft of an article or manuscript. We challenged them to send us their completed work by December 30. We exhorted them, &#8220;You are the people who will help shape our Christian theology in Pakistan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about the books or articles they\u2019re developing.<br \/>\n<\/strong>One is writing a story of a pastor who became a porn addict. Another is an article about how to disciple new converts from the majority background, including findings on failures and successes. One woman is writing an article in response to the &#8220;Me too&#8221; movement, about sexual harassment in churches. Another article explores why Pakistani Christianity has become mistakenly viewed as a Western religion. Before the next writer workshop, we\u2019ll publish these in a Reader\u2019s Digest-kind of magazine called <em>Rays of Light<\/em> (<em>Kirnen<\/em> in Urdu).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can we pray for you and your team?<\/strong><br \/>\nMost of the books we publish are for Christians. But whenever we write, even a story, we also want it to reach the majority community.\u00a0 Yet we have to be very careful. We sometimes feel our hands are tied. We fear that if we publish something it could somehow be twisted and used against us. The extremists still pose a challenge and threat for us.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6613\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6613\" style=\"width: 754px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pakistan-MIK-publishing-staff-Peter-Calvin-cropped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6613 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pakistan-MIK-publishing-staff-Peter-Calvin-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"754\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pakistan-MIK-publishing-staff-Peter-Calvin-cropped.jpg 754w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pakistan-MIK-publishing-staff-Peter-Calvin-cropped-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pakistan-MIK-publishing-staff-Peter-Calvin-cropped-600x327.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Pakistan-MIK-publishing-staff-Peter-Calvin-cropped-280x153.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Writers at a training workshop of MIK.
