Writing Guidelines
Welcome to the Caribbean Union Gleanings! Here we share stories across the Caribbean Union territory. If you’re ready to share news, testimonies, or ministry highlights from your church, school, or institution, these guidelines will help you prepare a strong, publishable submission.
Who can submit articles?
- Anyone may pitch a story idea, but we especially encourage youth and young adults to contribute.
- Ensure your church, school, or institution has an appointed communication director or communication leader to manage submissions.
What you can write about
We welcome articles on a wide range of topics, including:
- Church growth and evangelism initiatives
- Special programs and community outreach
- Youth and young adult involvement
- Education, health, and mission activities
- Unique events that highlight the diversity and faith of the Caribbean Union
Stories should be accurate, engaging, and specific, clearly representing your group or ministry.
