THE STORY OF MY LIFE AND MINISTRY

[MIRIAM JACOB]

THE STORY OF MY LIFE AND MINISTRY

I am a Christian author, poet and Network Administrator. I was born and brought up in Nigeria, West Africa. I have visited Europe, the United States of America and the Gulf States on vacation. In the course of my travels across the globe, I got the delightful opportunity to be a part of an ever-changing scenario. I endeavour to portray the rich and varied pictures, indelibly impressed in my mind, in my articles and poems.

I live in the heart of India, in the beautiful Asian countryside. My garden is filled with tall trees and exquisite flowers which include anthuriums, orchids, bougainvilleas and different colours of balsam. From my open window, I can see acres of lovely woodland, in which birds sing at regular intervals and wild squirrels sprint around with lightning speed. Cranes, mongooses, snakes, wild rabbits, bush fowls and honey bees live in equal co-existence here. All around, I can see the beauty of God's creation, and I marvel at it. Here is nature at its simple best.

I would like to introduce my mother to you. She is a published poet and author on the internet. Her name is Aleyamma Jacob, and you can read about her autobiography - "SANNY - GOD'S CHILD" - published by Lulu.com - on her blog - miriams-christian-family.blogspot.com/

I started writing at a very early age. One of the very first things my mother did was to teach me to read, and by doing this, she gave me the most precious gift in life. Once I started reading, I never stopped. It was always books, books and more books. When we went shopping, my sister and I would always make a beeline for the books store. My first poem was written in school, and I aspired to become a poet and writer. I wanted to see all my poems published as books. To set this dream on the road to reality, I self-published my first book of poems titled "A Light Ignited." I am delighted to say that the internet certainly helped to make my dreams come true!

I started ANOINTED FOR CHRIST E-BOOKS, in which we have two book stores at the moment, featuring our three e-books: stores.lulu.com/miriamjacob and stores.lulu.com/aleyammajacob

I have published two e-books in Miriam Jacob's book store at Lulu.com - stores.lulu.com/miriamjacob

My parents encouraged me in my singleminded quest to work for Christ on the internet, and they supported me wholeheartedly. Faithwriters gave me my first taste of Christian publishing, when it inspired me to publish my first collection of poems. That signified my entry into the beautiful world of Christian poetry on the internet. I worked on many other websites to gain valuable experience. As I worked round the clock, burning the midnight oil, a desire to publish my poems on my own website was born. A friend encouraged me to click a button to create my own website. As it slowly took shape, I knew in my heart that I would dedicate it to the world and publish Christian articles and poems by Christian authors worldwide. This eventually led to the birth of ANOINTED FOR CHRIST CHURCH MINISTRIES, supported by God alone. It is a Christian Worldwide Network for Pastoral Care in Cyberspace, with visitors from 149 countries round the globe. It is listed in DMOZ OPEN DIRECTORY PROJECT: www.dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity/Chats_and_Forums/Bulletin_Boards/
