Send a query letter to the Christian website Kyria, which “encourages women to use their gifts, take responsibility for their spiritual formation and the discipleship of others, and fulfill the work God has called them to.” The website publishes biblical insight with a distinctly evangelical perspective on topics of faith. Kyria pays $50 to $150 per accepted piece and requests exclusive online rights.
Query Marriage Partnership, a sister publication of Kyria, which publishes articles on marriage from a Christian point of view. Upon article acceptance, writers receive five to 10 cents per printed word. Marriage Partnership requests exclusive online rights, but allows contributors to reprint articles on their own websites.
Pitch Ministries Today prints articles of fewer than 700 words on Christian ministry life, ministry leadership, ministry outreach and ministry facilities. If your article doesn’t fit into one of these topics, the editors will still consider it, but you might have to sell your story a bit more than usual. After your query is approved, Ministries Today will discuss payment. The site buys all rights to articles, unless different terms are negotiated in advance.
Apply to be a columnist for Hem of His Garment Bible Study, a Christian website that publishes articles on ways to apply biblical teachings to everyday life.
