Rose Birenge<\/strong> is Director of Partnerships and Project Management at Biblica Africa, and has over twenty years of experience in marketing, outreach, publishing and partnerships.\u00a0She is also Board Chair of MAI-Africa.<\/p>

\u201cI love books, always have loved books. MAI gives me an opportunity\u00a0to interact with other book lovers,\u201d Rose says. \u201cJoining the MAI-Africa Board means I not only enjoy sweet fellowship, but also serve those in my continent who need a hand-up in their publishing journey.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cMy prayer, dream and desire is for people all over the world to have access to life-transforming content that is biblical and contextual,\u201d Rose says. \u201cBooks do change lives. They encourage, give us perspective, and introduce us to new worlds unknown. Books are a gem.\u201d<\/p>

Rose\u2019s book tip:\u00a0\u201cThe Jesus I Never Knew<\/em>\u00a0by Philip Yancey,\u00a0My Utmost for His Highest<\/em>\u00a0by Oswald Chambers and\u00a0God Chasers<\/em>\u00a0by Tommy Tenney.

Joan Campbell<\/strong>, MAI-Africa\u2019s Communications Coordinator, calls herself a \u2018pilgrim and storyteller.\u2019 She seeks to use her journey with Christ and love of writing to draw others into a closer relationship with Him through the books and blogs she writes, and the prayer and retreat ministry she serves in at her local church.<\/p>

\u201cI love the supportive ministry of MAI,” Joan says. “I have been the recipient of their training, networking and encouragement for a number of years, and it has opened many doors for me in publishing and ministry. I saw the invitation to join MAI-Africa as another open door where I could serve and encourage others in the same way I have been served and encouraged.\u201d<\/p>

Joan\u2019s book tip: \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to narrow down, but I would say Red Moon Rising<\/em> by Pete Greig was significant to my faith journey. This book tells the story of the start of the 24\/7 Prayer movement in 1999, leading to 25 years of continuous prayer. I loved the stories of God doing remarkable things through very ordinary people who were seeking and following Him as wholeheartedly as possible.<\/p>

A book that shaped me as a Christian writer is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe<\/em> by C.S. Lewis as it gave me my first real glimpse of the power of story and creativity to impart deep truth.<\/p>

Eskie Askew\u2019s comment in A Silence and a Shouting<\/em> on an Arabic proverb (\u2018I will set my face to the wind and scatter my handful of seeds on high\u2019) is something I come back to constantly as a writer: \u2018My little contribution to life is taken by the great wind of God and scattered where the wind wants to scatter it. We need not bother too much about that part. Seeds grow. But we must have the courage to keep ourselves facing the wind.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Kirimi Barine<\/strong> is Global Publishing Development Coordinator for United Bible Societies and Founding Director of the Publishing Institute of Africa.<\/p>

Kirimi helps potential authors conceptualize, plan, prepare, publish and promote non-fiction books. He also seeks to engage leaders and teams to learn and grow their impact.<\/p>

\u201cMy passion is writing, publishing and training because I believe I can contribute and impact the lives of others through my words\u2014and I coach others to do the same,\u201d Kirimi says. He is actively involved in publishing and writing training with MAI, facilitating webinars, running workshops and speaking at conferences such as LittAfrica<\/a>.<\/p>

Kirimi\u2019s writings include African Christian Leadership, Transformational Corporate Leadership, Rediscovering Leadership, A Life Well Lived<\/em> and Leadership Foundations<\/em>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Lawrence Darmani <\/strong>is Managing Director and CEO of Step Publishers in Accra, Ghana.<\/p>

\u201cRight from the day I surrendered by life to Christ, I embarked on regular daily devotion with prayer and Bible study and meditation, and the reading of Christian literature,\u201d Lawrence says. \u201cThese, as well as my involvement in Church life and Christian fellowship, have propelled my lifestyle as a child of God and helped me to maintain my Christian fervor.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIn addition to managing the ministry, my calling and delight is also writing. I look forward to seeing God enlarge our ministry by the number of books we publish, helping authors realize their dream in writing. I long to see God enable me to encourage and develop the staff I work with, and the financial viability and growth of our ministry.\u201d<\/p>

Lawrence was invited to join MAI-Africa at the time he had been serving with MAI as Africa Regional Trainer. \u201cI gladly accepted the invitation,\u201d Lawrence says. \u201cServing MAI gives me the opportunity to continue training Christian writers, which has been my delight since I got into Christian writing and publishing. I believe it is imperative to train Christian writers and publishers to sharpen their skills to enable them effectively serve the church by delivering cutting-edge contents for Christian growth. As this is the working ethos (mission and vision) of MAI-Africa and Global, I am delighted to join the team to provide this service.\u201d<\/p>

Lawrence\u2019s book tip: \u201cLet me mention just two among many others: Pilgrims Progress<\/em> by John Bunyan and Peace with God <\/em>by Billy Graham.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Joanna Ilboudo <\/strong>is Founder and Senior Advisor of ACTS-Burkina Faso, which runs various community programs including in literacy and training for writers. \u00a0<\/p>

Fluent in French and English, Joanna offers a unique perspective to help bridge the gap between Francophone and Anglophone writers in Africa. She helps create opportunities for cross-language collaborations such as translations, bilingual publications, and networking between English-speaking and French-speaking writers. \u201cMy bilingual skills help our team create training programs that cater for both linguistic groups,\u201d Joanna says.<\/p>

Joanna also represents Francophone writers so that they have a voice in strategic decisions. \u201cInternational literary platforms tend to be dominated by English-language content,\u201d observes Joanna. \u201cMy presence within MAI-Africa allows me to advocate for better visibility and opportunities for Francophone African writers, to ensure their voices reach a wider audience. This also helps MAI-Africa to remain inclusive and relevant to both English and French speaking communities.\u201d<\/p>

Joanna\u2019s book tip: \u201cOne book that marked my life is Sous l’orage<\/em> by Swiss writer Madeleine Secretan, which I read when I was fourteen.\u201d<\/p>

Kingston Ogango<\/strong> is Africa Regional Director at Alpha International, and describes himself as \u201ca leadership catalyst, author, trainer, minister, thought leader and designer.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cLife resembles a generational relay, with each succeeding generation tasked with passing the baton of distilled knowledge, experience and wisdom,\u201d Kingston says. \u201cSenior leadership should strategically focus on developing future leaders by proactively identifying and vigorously establishing coaching processes that create a pipeline of leaders. I believe this is what God has called me fulfil\u2014I partner with Him for a great impact on my generation.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI joined MAI-Africa to inspire my fellow Africans to actively and intentionally share knowledge through writing and publishing, to be a catalyst for those in leadership by championing for writing and publishing as a way of influencing and creating culture, and because I am passionate about mentoring.\u201d<\/p>

Kingston believes that to make meaningful change, one needs to be in a place where one has the latitude to create, innovate and lead. \u201cBeing an MAI-Africa trustee affords that opportunity,\u201d he says. \u201cOne of the most effective ways of sharing experiences and knowledge with the rising generation is by capturing what God has done in my generation through the written word.\u201d<\/p>

Kingston\u2019s book tip: \u201cChase the Lion<\/em> by Mark Batterson is an inspirational call to take action, urging readers to embrace their full potential and pursue their dreams fearlessly. It draws inspiration from the biblical story of Benaiah who chased a lion and killed it on snowy day with his bare hands, reminding us that true greatness lies in daring to chase what seems impossible. Batterson suggests that if your dream doesn’t scare you, it’s not big enough to truly challenge or inspire you to see what God can enable us to do.\u201d\u2028<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
