The Banner and Talking Bibles International is pleased to present a writing contest on the topic of peacemaking. What does it mean to be Christ’s peacemaker in today’s world? Please use a personal story to illustrate the theme of your article. We’ll publish the top two winning articles in print and the top three online, plus award cash prizes of $1,000 USD (first prize), $500 USD (second prize), and $250 USD (third prize).
