Captivated is a lifestyle magazine first published in February 2008, designed to encourage people to explore faith in Jesus Christ, whether they already believe or are still searching for a faith.

We believe that Captivated is an avenue whereby Christian writers can share and express their faith by the printed word.

The Editorial Team is Gwenneth Leane and Judy Pitt.

Major Sponsors:   Pastors Andrew Bulman, Tim Coleman, Tony Smits and Manoj George.

(A limited number of back copies are available for $2.00 plus postage - contact us for details.)
