Are you a talented writer or graphic designer? Are you an opinionated person just looking for a soapbox from which to pontificate? Do you have a booming radio voice?

Whatever your talent is — and we all have one or more talents — Icon Media would be keen to bring you on board. Please send us your ideas and your embryonic plans and we’ll see how we can bring them to fruition.

What better way could there be to use your talents than to help spread the Gospel message?

Come check out our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/iconmedianz), “Like” us, and then take part in the discussion on workers to the harvest.  Even if you only have a couple of free minutes a week to give to digital ministry – we’ll take that and add it to the pile of others and before you know it, we’ll have some serious time available to help spread God’s message further!

Is God calling you to help?

The Catholic Soapbox will provide a daily Kiwi Catholic perspective on global news and events, tackling Catholic issues as well as mainstream issues from a Catholic perspective.  Gavin Abraham, a journalist for more than a dozen years who has spent most of the last six years working in Catholic media, will be the site’s principal author, though others may chime in from time to time.

While the soapbox metaphor obviously relates to the idea of Gavin getting on his soapbox to have his say, it will also allow for some special soap-themed posts. Keep an eye out for them.
