I was wondering where the welcome threads went the first time I browsed this site.
I'm really glad I found this site and I found it randomly. I didn't think Christian sci-fi existed because of the problems my own mind came up with for why sci-fi stories can't exist in the Christian worldview. I learned that the best thing to do is to write the stories I want and not back down to any criticisms.
I'm a senior English major at my university. God told me to go into English and I'm waiting on him to tell me what job to get, but I think maybe editing or writing of some sort or both perhaps.
I'm working on three Christian sci-fi stories currently. This first one that came to me is a missionary story in which six people, four non-humans (two men and two women) and two human men are going to the same church on a planet far from Earth. At first they don't know each other but God will call them to meet each other and get to know each other and God will call them to travel to a village on a planet some distance from their planet to get to know the people and tell them about Jesus. Some problems will arise when they do that and they will weather the storm that comes their way. The second story is a scavenger story in which a Christian and a non-Christian interact with people in different ways and how God interacts in certain situations. The third is how a man deals with the loss of his wife in a world of scientific advances that could make it as if she never died, but is that what he wants? Is that the same as what was lost? It touches on cloning and other technologies.
My fiction in this genre is what does a follower of Christ's life look like in a futuristic sci-fi time period, how do they hold to their trust in God when science says it has all the answers to life's mysteries, when non-believing people think that religion is a thing of the old ways on Earth, and how God interacts in situations.
I'm new in the genre I'm writing in and would like some fellow writers to help me out.
