2020 is the ninth year of the Kiwi young writer program with Christian Today New Zealand.
Each year there seems to be new young Kiwis (18-30) joining the team who are published once every five weeks (a Cycle consists of 5 weeks), 10 articles for the year.

Being published
Kiwi young writers are asked to write a 600-900 word 'Comment' article – that is you writing about something on your heart, a Christian view on an event or drama. It is not a devotional or a sermon.
What it is like writing
It is fun. It is serious. It is disciplining. It’s great having your article read around the world. It is once every 5 weeks. You’re part of a team. We need more young Kiwis 18-30 years of age. We have annual; conference with writing Awards.
