This article serves as a bittersweet goodbye to a project that has been running for over fifteen years. After much consideration, InsideOut will be transitioning out of future publications to make room for new, wonderful ministry opportunities.

With its first article breaking ground in January of 2009, InsideOut has been reaching and sharing the Good News all over the world. Since its first debut, this web-based magazine has published over 830 articles, including music reviews, inspirationals, modest fashion, interviews, and so much more. Together we have seen the impacts of standing on God’s promises, and how timeless the art of words and writing are.

Looking back, we have seen writers and interviewees who have grown in their ministry, served in their local churches, ventured to foreign lands for missions work, and even some who have reached their ultimate reward.

We are grateful to all who have contributed, read, and shared. Even though this is the end of an era for InsideOut, there is greatness ahead in other capacities. We at the Youth Ministries department look forward to the future that has been envisioned.

Looking back, I vividly remember my last chapel as an Urshan student. Together, we sang a song with simple lyrics that seemed fitting for this occasion.

“I will look back and see that You are faithful. I look ahead, believing You are able, Jesus, Lord of all…” He has always been and will always remain faithful.

Thank you, InsideOut for what you have been to so many.

Keep writing. Keep reading. Keep serving. Keep blessing the Kingdom. The best is yet to come.
