RGM #4 Out Now

by

The fourth issue of Raising Godly Mothers magazine is now available for you to order.

In this issue we are focusing on the importance of self care. Mothers, such as the lovely Chris Bovill and Rosina Mitchell, shares with us what they did to look after themselves when they had young children at home.

We also have a new contributor, Charleen Seiuli, a mother with a family that first inspired my husband and I to homeschool our children.

RGM is now also available at Pure Books, a new Christian bookstore based in Timaru. My husband and I both felt called to start this bookshop in early 2024 since the closure of the last Christian bookshop in town. It has been a huge learning curve for the both of us. We are now an even busier family juggling homeschooling life and running two businesses (Pure Books and St Andrews Accounting).

If you have any feedback regarding RGM or would like to contribute please get in touch! We would love to hear from you.

Peace and joy to you,

Get Your Copy of RGM Issue 3

The long awaited RGM Issue 3 is now available in both digital and printed formats.

We continue to improve the printing quality of the magazine and decided to use a printer based in Christchurch, who printed our first issue. This time, we went with thicker paper to produce a better, longer lasting magazine, which you can keep to pass on to your children.

This issue contains an article from Janice Wills, who will also be a keynote speaker at HEART South 2024, which is happening 6-8th September. Registrations are now open.

There is also a chapter from Chris Bovill’s book, Flourish, which you can order directly from Chris (facebook: Flourish with Chris Bovill) and also available from Pure Books.

Well, I won’t give away too much. You can find out what else is in store for this issue by getting yourself a copy here!

Peace and joy to you and family.

New reduced subscription fees

Thank you to those who have given very positive feedbacks about Raising Godly Mothers. It is so encouraging.

I’m currently putting together the next issue. There are several new articles written by inspirational mothers: Janice Wills, Gwenda Smithies, Anne Schwartferger, and Rosina Mitchell. I’m so grateful for these amazing women who have dedicated time to passing on their wisdom to us.

Issue #2 is scheduled to be published some time around December or January.

It has been aware to me that the subscription fees were too high so I’m looking at ways to reduce that at the moment. It may mean a different look for the magazine, such as, different sizing and paper. Hopefully we will be able to make them more affordable.

If you have any feedbacks please don’t hesitate to email me rgm@rgm.co.nz. I would love to hear from you.

First issue of RGM finally out!

Raising Godly Mothers RGM
First issue of Raising Godly Mothers magazine

The dream of publishing a mother’s magazine became a reality earlier on this year when the very first issue was finally published and distributed. Around 100 mothers who attended the recent Homeschool Educator Annual Retreat (HEART) in Matamata were treated to a free copy of the first issue. Many more copies have also been distributed in the South Island, especially in Canterbury.

There has already been a number of positive feedbacks, especially from older mothers with their daughters now starting their own family. A few of them have also expressed their interests in writing articles for future publications.

RGM focuses on the Scripture found in Titus 2:3-5 which instructs the older women to teach the younger women on how to be a godly wife and mother. The articles are mostly written by those who have gone before, sharing their wisdom and experiences. As modern parenting increasingly pushes towards child-centred households, which places an unrealistic expectation on the parents, there is a need to direct mothers back to the wisdom of God.

RGM encourages stories that are based on real life experiences of godly mothers in New Zealand. Stories which contain wisdom that are often lost if not passed on.

A heartfelt thank you to those who have encouraged me and continued to pray for the success of RGM.

‘Til next time,
