Guest blog from
I was in yet
another airport waiting for a plane and picked up one of the free magazines to
pass the time. Sorted grabbed my
interest and I was some way into it before it dawned on me that it was a
magazine with a Christian ethos. I was thrilled.
Here, at last, was
a Christian magazine that really stood a chance of being read by non-Christian
guys; a magazine that our God can be proud of. It perfectly took Christianity
out of the confines of the Church and into the world, in a relevant,
entertaining way.
I am a business
person, with a strong understanding of sales and marketing and an involvement
in publishing. Magazines are not cheap to produce and distribute. I spoke to
the editor Steve Legg and was inspired to help when he told me that he does not draw
a salary from the magazine.
The fixed costs are
£10,000 a month and it is up to us as successful Christian business people and
professionals to draw alongside Steve and support him in one of the UK’s most
potent evangelistic projects.
If fifty of us
commit to sowing just £200 per month in the magazine, we cover the fixed costs,
allowing advertising revenue to be used to further develop the magazine and get
more copies out there.
And remember, we are not doing Steve a favour – quite
the opposite! He is doing us a service by providing us and our businesses with
the opportunity to partner with a project truly significant in the kingdom of
our Lord.
I do not know Steve
well and have not been involved with the magazine up to now. I ask you, too,
whether you know Steve or not, to partner with me in supporting the work of Sorted.
Don't pray about it, just do it.
Email steve@sorted-magazine.com to find out how you can support the magazine.
