Barnabas Fellowship
Congratulations to Bonnie Way from
Edmonton, AB
on winning the 2007 BARNABAS FELLOWSHIP
|
|
 |
The Barnabas Fellowship is a grant of $250 enabling a member of InScribe
to further his or her progress in writing. It is named for Barnabas, a co-worker
with the Apostle Paul. His story is found in the book of Acts. Barnabas means
“encourager,” which coincides with the purpose of this award.
The 2007 Barnabas Award Winner is Bonnie Way. Bonnie is the current editor
and layout producer of InScribe's magazine-style newsletter,
FellowScript. She works as an editor at Alberta Education and pursues
her freelance writing in her spare time. She is in the process of applying
to grad school at UBC and hopes to start her master's in creative writing
there next fall. Visit
Bonnie's blog to find out more about her! |
