The Youthly Scribe

#BeExamplary

Call for Papers

The Youthly Scribe, is inviting submissions. It is a United Baptist Church of Zimbabwe Christian
themed Journal. This is an initiative by the Harare East District UBCYF youths to produce a
periodic journal which tackle contemporary issues that face the present day youth. The journal
aims at providing space for sharing the word of God and advising youths so that they can grow
spiritually.
This journal enables the present day youths to have access to helpful Christian literature based on
the teachings of the bible and the UBCZ. This initiative was necessary because youths have a
hunger for the word of God and there is little literature in our church which youths can read from
time to time along with their bibles for their Spiritual growth.
This shall be the first publication, it shall be published in print, electronically and also over the
internet. Only one article per author or co-author will be considered for possible publication.
Manuscripts submitted to the journal should not be subject to copyright elsewhere. Papers will be
reviewed by at least two expert referees.
Mission
To publish an authoritative and concise journal through combining UBCZ Christian writers efforts
and spiritual insight. It is our mission to create a forum that allows the discussion of challenges
facing the youths of today in Zimbabwe and as well as the continent.
Rightly dividing the word of truth 2 Timothy 2 verse 15
Vision
To create a spiritually mature Youth who lives by example. 1 Timothy 4 verse 12
