SANDRA HICKMAN Australia WTV Ministries Leader

FIRST LADY CHRISTINE V. MITCHELL, The United Kingdom WTV Ministries Leader

2 | P A G E L A M P N E W S L E T T E R Special Edition

Dear Readers,

It is my honor to introduce you to the two wonderful ministry leaders of our ministries, WRITE THE VISION MINISTRIES and MEDIA PRODUCTIONS, INTERNATIONAL! God has blessed us to expand our ministries with new headquarters and ministry work in Australia and in the United Kingdom.

We welcome Minister Sandra Hickman of Australia and First Lady Christine V. Mitchell of the UK, London,

England. These precious women of God have vibrant, anointed, and powerful ministries in their countries. They are greatly involved in church leadership, missions, community outreach, and a multitude of activities to reach souls for Christ. Minister Hickman and First Lady Mitchell are profound poets, inspiring writers, and women with a fire to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ!

It is a miracle how God sent them into our lives and ministries. Through the social media of Facebook and LinkedIn, we made the connection! God brought us together using these modern or 21st Century technologies. YES, HE DID!

I know that there are some naysayers who dont think that this is possible. See, God is bigger than what we can imagine or think. He is bringing His people together because we are in the Last Days.

Jesus told us, His church or people, to go and preach to the whole world! Mark 16:15 KJV states, And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. We, WRITE THE VISION MINISTRIES and MEDIA PRODUCTIONS, INTERATIONAL along with Minister Hickman and First Lady Mitchell are standing boldly with this ministry. We loudly proclaim, YES, LORD! WE WILL GO! WE WILL GO!

We rejoice and celebrate this new move of God in our ministry!


MINISTER SANDRA HICKMAN, Australia Ministry Leader Minister Sandra Hickman was born in Fremantle, Western

Australia and currently lives south of Perth in Wellard, Western Australia. She is an evangelist, writer, and poet, also a prolific writer who has been writing for years with a passion for words since she was young. Venturing into Christian songs and poetry, Sandra also is dedicated to writing nonfiction stories, biblical and personal stories with a zeal to serve the Lord by touching and inspiring people through her stories.

She has a strong passion to write about her experiences as a missionary to Africa, India and China, as well her local mission field

work in Kwinana, Western Australia. Sandra currently serves as a church leader, prophetic intercessor and evangelist at Jabez Ministries and Missions International Inc. in Kwinana. Her pastors are husband and wife, Raymond Nsalange and Tari Nsalange.

Pastor Tari Nsalange is her daughter and Pastor Raymond Nsalange is her son-in-law. She has been devoted and faithful to serving the Lord in the Kwinana region for more than 10 years and committed to outreach for souls in the neighbourhood and communities.

Sandra attended and graduated from Bible School in 2005. She also headed the leadership for Jabez Ministries and another local Ministry in pastoral and preaching roles, while the respective pastors were travelling overseas.

Minister Hickman has ministered to people in foreign countries around the world. She is actively involved in leading ladies prayer and fellowship groups, church leadership and house-to-house evangelism with a heart and calling for revival in the Kwinana region. She has the desire to return abroad to the international mission field to establish ministries and orphanages in third world countries.

Sandra is a mother of two lovely adult daughters, a loving mother-in-law (to Pastor Ray Nsalange), and a grandmother to eight beautiful grandchildren. She is finalising her first book "The Letter." to be published in 2015.

A great highlight of Sandra's Christian walk is to have the privilege of being appointed as the Write The Vision Ministries Leader in Australia. This gives her the opportunity to serve alongside her dear friend, Wanda J. Burnside in ministry honouring the Lord.

FIRST LADY CHRISTINE V. MITCHELL United Kingdom, London, Minisitry Leader

Christine V. Mitchell is a Christian poet and wife of loving husband and pastor Frederick Mitchell. She was born in London, England. At the age of just 18 months, she experienced loss when her mother passed away. The challenges of life never escaped her. In her youth and adulthood, she has experienced the responsibilities of being a caregiver.

Christine came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in her teens in 1973, under the leadership of the late Pastor Thelma and Elder Jacob Scott, whose ministry later became a

UK branch of Mt Calvary Holy Church of America. Although her many life challenges, from a young age upwards, left her feeling that she was of little worth, on the day she accepted Christ as Saviour, everything changed. Touched by Gods love, she found peace, purpose, hope and strength on her pathway of faith.

When a young adult, Christines creativity blossomed through song-writing and musicianship skills as an organist, keyboard and guitar player. She has followed an administrative career, having worked as a PA/secretary in the public and private sector, particularly in adult education institutions, including Goldsmiths University of London.

For a number of years, she has enjoyed writing, but within the past 12 years she has increasingly been inspired with uplifting poems that she loves to share. Knowing that, without God, she would not be where she is today, Christine enjoys using her gift to reach out to others who may be going through difficult times with a message of faith, hope and encouragement for their journey of life. Her faith in Christ is at the heart of her writing, which expresses the love of God.

Christine has written over 400 poems, including poems on other life themes and for special occasions. Continually inspired by the Lord, Christine felt led to publish her work and in January 2014 released her first book, Forever Grateful, followed by Comfort & Hope in November 2014. Both books are filled with uplifting and anointed poems of faith and encouragement, and have deeply touched many hearts; they are available from Amazon. Being very proficient in IT skills, Christine prepared both of these books for publishing herself. In addition to publishing her autobiography, she is looking forward to preparing and publishing her third book of inspirational poems, as well as tracts and other articles written by both her and Pastor Mitchell.

Christine enjoys connecting with other poets and writers and is a member of an online writers workshop. Her website is www.expressionspoetry.com. She also shares on her blog http://poetrybychristinemitchell.wordpress.com and on her Facebook page www.facebook.com/christinespoetrycorner.

First Lady Christine has been married to Pastor Mitchell for 35 years. Together, they have four wonderful (grown) children, a lovely daughter-in-law and two amazing grandchildren. Pastor Mitchell is the founder and pastor of Glory-Ark Ministry, a warm Christian fellowship in South East London, UK, which they co-pastor together. They have also helped support the work of several ministries over a period of 12 years, and have links with the Church of God in Christ (UK), New Hope Gospel Ministries and many others.

She is thrilled to have become a friend of wonderful author and poet, CRW President, Wanda J Burnside, and considers it a great honour to be part of Write the Vision Ministries & Media Productions International! To God be all the glory!

A Closing Word from Minister Sandra Hickman of Australia With the memory of Easter 2015 and Christs undying love still fresh in our hearts, we recall the awesome work of the cross... And the reason JESUS did it all! He is the Bridegroom and we are His bride! We belong to Him. I'd like to leave you with my poem...

The Wedding

As the Spirit mourns the loss of the presence of the Bridegroom

Still Your light shines brightly upon our manmade gloom

O Jesus... As your heart is aching even while

it's breaking Still You plead for us Lord...

One and only Jesus

As Your spotless Bride prepares herself

Adorning Your precious jewels She takes the things from the higher shelf

And bends and bows to Your rules Jesus ... She prepares

Glorious day, the wedding feast!

Not the highest nor the middle or even the least ... I can hardly wait

O pearly gates Sweet Bridegroom

As Your heart is aching Even while it's breaking

Your Bride prepares

The Marriage Supper

Beautiful Groom, lighting up the gloom Glorious light splendorous and white Shedding with grace, a love so right

Joy and happiness ... No sorrow in sight!

O Jesus...

Your aching heart, breaking heart, as You keep pleading...

Even now, As the Spirit mourns the loss

of the presence of the Bridegroom, ... Your Bride is coming!

Closing Remarks from

First Lady Christine V. Mitchell of the United Kingdom I love the way that Jesus has room in His heart for each and every one of us. He knows all about us and shows Himself faithful ALWAYS. Hes the Friend Who never lets you down, the Friend Who has the ability to be MY best friend, YOUR best friend, the best friend of ALL who put their trust in Him. Hes an awesome and glorious Saviour so PRECIOUS is His love!!

Steadfast Love

I love you, My child, in the morning. My love is not quelled by the night. I love you when youre in the valley,

or scaling the highest of heights. I love you when flowers are blooming.

I love you in showers of rain. I love you when winter is looming and when summer comes again.

Though sometimes your skies have been gray, or you have been misunderstood, My love has been present always;

My thoughts towards you are good. You may have felt strong in the good times

and then have felt weak in the bad. Perhaps you have tried but failed,

then felt all alone and sad?

You may feel that Im far away or wonder if I hear your prayers.

My heart is so touched by your longings; each day, I bottle your tears.

I love you, for youre My creation. I think about you every day.

I long to bring life and salvation - to guide you and show you the way.

I long to pour fresh living water

that flows out in life-giving streams; to arise upon you with My glory,

for then you will dream new dreams. Ill not force My way into your heart.

I come through an open door. I long to bring untold blessings

of life and of peace evermore
