Word Ministry has been entrusted the responsibility, through print and electronic media, to spread the good news of the Lord and enlighten the hearts of the readers.
Through the weekly publication, and electronic copy, active and non-active members are provided spiritual nourishment through the Community’s Counsel, direction, word, themes and promises.
1. To publish the weekly “Living Water” (every Friday).
Plan, write, edit, publish and distribute the Living Water to members.
When the new members of the Word Ministry were set in place in 2006, one of the mandates given by the Formation DCS was to use the Living Water not only as a bulletin to publish the weekly Counsel, reflections for the month, schedules for BLD teachings and other activities, announcements from various ministries, but also to serve as a medium of evangelization- to bring the good news of the Lord. Thus, content and format of the Weekly Living Water had to be revised. One of the noticeable changes is the color of the publication. We use three colors to follow the colors of the liturgical calendar: white for the Sundays in Ordinary Time, green for Advent, and purple for Lent. We research and print articles relevant to the feast of the season or theme of the week. We also welcome articles of interest sent in by the members.
Currently the Living Water is published every Friday as a 2 page bulletin which contains the weekly counsel and important announcements for imminent community activities – usually for the coming week. Once a month, on the first Friday of the month, a multiple page edition is published which is a more extensive issue containing the Reflection for the Month, schedule of BLD activities, Teaching schedule, Global prayer petitions, Announcement from Ministries, articles and other write-ups. Each issue features a one-liner which serves as word of inspiration and guidance.
Apart from publishing the weekly “Living Water”, Word Ministry also publishes a semi-annual edition (July and January) which serves as the venue for all Ministries and Districts to send in their write-ups about the highlights of their activities and print pictures which are not possible to publish in the weekly issue due to space limitation.
For the maiden issue of “Living Water” semi annual publication in June 2007, Word Ministry held a contest amongst the Mark 10 to send in their artwork with the theme “Let the children come to me”. It was such an amazing feat for the children starting from age 5 who enthusiastically revealed their artistic abilities.
2. Electronic transfer every week of the Counsel, Word Sharing Circle Guide and “Living Water” in the Word Website; send notice of upload to all the members through BLD Mailroom;
