we want to hear from you
Your Story Inspires...
We are excited to hear about your journey as a credentialed woman or woman seeking credentials; to hear your personal and ministry insights. We are not the only ones who want to hear it. Women around the world want to know how the Lord has led your life and ministry endeavors. So let's begin sharing!
Complete this form and submit it along with two images (see photo requirements listed below).
Your personal contact information is purely for our office purposes and being able to connect with you. We promise -- we won't flood your inboxes!
Photo guidelines
We would also like you to submit professional headshot-style photos. Please submit at least two, but feel free to submit a couple images for us to review and choose from. In order to keep consistency with our photos, we have a few guidelines and sample photos for you to use. Please pick one or two of these types of sample shots and recreate them in your own ministry-location. (We are looking for casual photos, not stiff business headshots.)
These sample photos were taken with smartphones, by non-professionals. Many smart phones have quality cameras for taking the kind of shots we will be using. If you, or someone you know, has an iPhone (7 Plus or newer), it offers “portrait mode” on the camera. We highly recommend this tool, but it is not required.
A few guidelines to help your image: (Don't worry, you don't need to be a professional photographer!)
-
You are the focus of the photo.
-
Take a headshot-style image, not a full-on action photo.
-
Use natural light.
-
Wear bright solid colors – do not blend into your background.
-
If you are taking photos outside, do not squint.
-
Phone setting adjustments can be used to adjust colors.
-
Do not use filters.
-
An image is of you by yourself.
-
Avoid: harsh shadows or light on the face, awkward poses, dark, blurry, out-of-focus, etc.
If you do have excellent professional images from an event you have spoken at, etc. feel free to send those along as well!
Video guidelines:
-
In addition to the photo guidelines, please be aware of your intended audience when submitting a video. If this is for social media, horizontal or vertical video may be used interchangeably for stories, reels, or posts. However, if this is for a podcast, virtual conference, or other production, a horizontal (landscape) format is required. You may record on your phone, Zoom, Streamyard, or other service. Please submit all files in .mp4 format, in the highest quality possible. If the file is too large to submit via email, we suggest using a file service such as Dropbox or WeTransfer, and then submitting the link to download.
