Give NowWill you help encourage and connect the church?
Give NowThe Evangelical Press Association presented its 2013 Awards of Excellence and Higher Goals Awards at its annual convention May 1-3, 2013 in Nashville. The global media ministry of Christianity Today was honored with a total of 42 awards. Nine brands across the Christianity Today ministry were awarded.
The editors, marketers, and designers at Christianity Today desire to create content that will help the Church worldwide. Each month, we gather together to lift up our ministry and pray that we will continue to create trustworthy, biblically-based content, achieve a civil tone, and pursue journalistic excellence. We need you to pray as well—please pray that we would strive daily to make Christ the center of all we do, for his glory and the advancement of his Kingdom. And praise God for the ways that we were encouraged through recognition at this year's EPA convention!
