Introducing LIFT Magazine
www.liftmag.net

LIFT Magazine is a bi-monthly Christian publication based minutes outside of Atlanta, Georgia. LIFT an acronym for "Living In Faith Together" was developed to be the "The Gospel Grapevine" of the entertainment industry. LIFT Magazine’s goal is to keep readers informed of what’s happening in music, television, film, theatre, literature and sports. Our writers have worked hard to provide up to date news on the lives of people spreading the word of GOD and making a difference in their communities.

LIFT Magazine will reach an audience of men and women age 18-40. It will be compared to successful mainstream publications such as Sister 2 Sister, Vibe and The Source. LIFT’ Magazine’s desire is to meet the need of readers everywhere that want to keep up to date with Christian entertainment. LIFT’s preview issue will be launched online in June 2005. Owner and managing editor, Daphni Cooper, would consider it a blessing if you would join LIFT in its spiritual journey.

Though LIFT Magazine is her gift from GOD, it is the brainchild of entrepreneur Daphni Cooper. A single mother in her late thirties, when Daphni accepted Jesus Christ into her life, everything changed. She soon learned that pretty much everything she enjoyed had some sort of indication of sin.

One rainy morning as she drove her son to school, he asked why he could not listen to rap music anymore. Daphni had to explain to her son, that the words of the songs he loved so much did not help them to become better people. Concerned that this change would make her son rebellious against learning about GOD and his only begotten son, she decided to do some research. Daphni spoke to a seasoned saint at work who was up to date on the happenings in the gospel industry. He loaned her a copy of an album titled "CrunkFest", a compilation of Christian hip-hop music. Her son was ecstatic! The dilemma was solved, however, her quest for more information to keep her little one intrigued had begun. She now took on the responsibility to show her son he was not missing out on anything by changing their beliefs, Daphni also wanted to prove this to her family and friends who playfully teased them for their beliefs.

Needing her spirits lifted, Daphni and her son attended the Thursday night service at their church. She was stunned to hear her bishop begin a series prophetically titled "The Power of Your Gift". Daphni left the service on fire for Christ. She prayed that GOD would give her direction on how he wanted her to make a difference. During her morning ritual to prepare for work, the vision of LIFT Magazine was revealed.

LIFT Magazine’s vision is to touch the lives of our readers using the testimonies of Christians located in the United States and abroad.

LIFT Magazine is a print publication that has opted to place the preview issue on it’s website. The preview issue will be available to view online on June 30, 2005. Sunpiper Press is proud to be associated with LIFT and hope you will join in assisting with its literal and spiritual success.
