I welcome you to the Christmas Cascade Issue which is the ninth Issue of PAROUSIA Magazine. Praise be to God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us and made this year a success.  For this year, we had two issues published which is The Glorification Issue 8 and Christmas Cascade Issue 9. We kicked off Chapbook publications and published two outstanding Poetry Chapbooks from Rick Davis (USA) and Cecil Jones (Guyana) – this is a progress for us and we are so excited.

I am grateful to God as I gladly say PAROUSIA Magazine is a year older already.  It is our 3^rd anniversary. Praise the Lord!

My sincere appreciation goes to the Board of Advisors Su’eddie Vershima Agema and Oyin S. Oludipe, for their encouragement and support. Also to our esteemed readers and contributors, thanks for making PAROUSIA Magazine your favourite.

The Christmas Cascade Issue 9 is a special issue that not only reflect Christmas but however brings the exciting essence of the season to us through creativity. The Christmas Cascade Issue 9 brings to you poetry from Tralone Lindiwe Khoza (South Africa), Luisa Kay Reyes (USA), Oluwasemilore Olubiire (Nigeria), Victoria Crawford (Thailand), Gearge Ross (Thailand), Olaniyi Ololade David (Nigeria), Oghenero Ezaza (Nigeria), Abioye Samuel Akorede (Nigeria), Olatubosun David (Nigeria) and Arlene Antoinette (USA). We have a creative Nonfiction piece from Nina Onuorah (Nigeria) and fiction pieces from Adesina Ajala (Nigeria) and Denis Waswa Barasa (Kenya).

With joy of this season, I implore you to devout your time into these creative literary works and be filled with a refreshed soul as you read the Christmas Cascade Issue 9 of PAROUSIA Magazine. I pray for you that you will be filled with the knowledge of God’s will as you celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year!
