Janice Rogers and her husband Jim have been full-time missionaries with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 1966, ministering in 64 nations. Since 1974, Jim and Janice have produced literature, films and other media with the goal of involving more people in missions work. Janice led the first Authors Training School in YWAM in 1986. Since then she has trained hundreds of writers from more than 30 nations in writing schools and seminars. Her students have used their training to write countless books, magazine articles, film scripts, and material for websites. Since her training emphasizes universal principles of communication, many of her non-English speaking students have learned how to write in their own language.
Janice will teach such topics as…
* how to write a compelling story
* the writer as God’s servant
* identifying and addressing readers’ felt needs
* tightening your focus
* how to build your stories with dramatic scenes
Janice has written and edited a number of books, including five with her brother, Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth With A Mission and University of the Nations. Their first book, Is that Really You, God? has more than 2 million copies in print in 105 languages. Their most recent collaboration is The Book That Transforms Nations: The Power of the Bible to Change Any Country. Janice and her husband Jim work with YWAM Woodcrest, a University of the Nations campus in East Texas dedicated to training missionary communicators. They have three grown sons, all involved in missionary work, plus seven grandchildren.
Some testimonies from previous workshop participants:
The Writers’ Workshop was a valuable experience for budding authors as well as ordinary participants interested in improving their basic communication skills for newsletters or brochures. Having Janice Rogers share from her depth of experience as a writer whose books have been published worldwide was a tremendous opportunity for our community. I highly recommend attending the Writers’ Workshop! Warren Keapproth, Director YWAM Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

My husband Geoff and I attended the YWAM writer’s school led by Janice Rogers in 1986. The techniques and insights we received there transformed us from readers to writers. We took what we learned and started writing. To date, we have written more than 160 books. Janet Benge, author.
