FRIENDS and partners of the SEE Inspirations magazine, two Wednesdays ago, witnessed the transition of the magazine from a soft sale to a not-for-sale one. The event, which was held at SEE Centre, Lekki, Lagos, saw the presentation of the latest edition of the magazine with spectacle testimonies of people, who have repented from armed robbery, drugs addiction, occultism, prostitution as well as special interviews on some men and women of God.

According to the Editor-in-Chief, Mrs. Lawretta Sam-Ogrih, “the magazine aims at encouraging the afflicted, the discouraged, the weak and those who are still struggling with one form of addiction or the other. Making it free, we will be able to place it in the prisons, hotels, hospitals, airports, embassies and other places.

“Before it was highly subsidised, but right now, we’ve got a confirmation that it should not be for sale rather to be used as a tool for evangelism and a way to glorify God.”

On some of the challenges facing the publication of the 40-page magazine, the editor, said, “we are trying to make people partner with us, so that, we can remain in circulation. Though, we’ve been doing it in our own little way by sourcing for adverts, with the partners we will do more.

Calling people to partner with them Sam-Ogrih, said, “when you encourage some of these ex-armed robbers or ex-cultist to share their testimonies and make their listeners born again, you that have contributed to it would be the foundation testimony. People don’t know it goes beyond just advertising their businesses, it also means evangelising the good works of God.”

The magazine has been in circulation for three years.
