Encouraging Christians around the world to love one another since Jesus said that's how we'll be known.

We’re unable to see our whole lives laid out as a panorama, and we have our own mountains that get in the way. We don’t know what the future will bring, nor do we know why things have happened to us in the past.

Navigating the mountains in our lives

Fantastically we've been praised for our social impact in Nepal. If you're an Impact-driven giver, we hope this helps you support us with confidence.

When I submitted my latest manuscript for publication last month, I had no idea its contents would become relevant to me so soon. ‘God’s Great Escape’ tells the true story of a family’s escape from East Germany in the 1950s and how God clearly speaks to them and guides them to safety. Unexpectedly, I needed God to help me escape from ...

I’ve been having some awkward conversations recently. My book, Our Sisters, is out, and people are beginning to read it. When they tell me they have bought a copy and have either finished it or are in the middle of it, I am delighted and excitedly thank them. Very often, though, they quickly add that ...

I wanted to use Ignatian prayer to read through the Book of Acts in the Bible, but since I couldn’t find an existing guide, I decided to write my own.

Ignatian Prayer Readings for The Acts of the Apostles

[dislocatedchristians]

I love Ignatian Prayer and have heard God speak to me clearly through the practice. I get to have a conversation with God about a Bible passage. Depending on His reply, I may feel comforted, challenged or further confused. In which case, I continue talking with Him and allowing the Holy Spirit to direct me until I have some answers. Through Ignatian Prayer I had some clear direction as I wrote my next book 'Our Sisters'.

Can you pray for boldness and opportunity so that Christians can be peacemakers in the escalating conflict between Pakistan and India?

Our Sisters ... are caught in the crossfire

This week, Women Without Roofs lost one of its most beloved ladies. Dolma Ama was quite possibly one of the most smiley and sweet-tempered women I have ever met. Cheesy though it may sound, there will be more #smiles in heaven from now on.

I returned from my whirlwind trip to stunning #Lahore in #Punjab just last week and haven’t been able to think about much else since. #Pakistan and its people have enthralled me. I was incredibly fortunate to meet with people working at every level of society to improve the lives of #Christian women there.

It feels extraordinary, but WWR is 20 years old! I can't quite believe it. Working with incredible staff and #trustees to change the lives of vulnerable women in #Nepal has been a privilege and joy. We thank God for his faithfulness.

Our Sisters ... are betwixt and between

I have a sadistic Belgian Pilates teacher who loves to put those of us in her classes in stress positions and then make us lift weights. The situation with my book, Our Sisters, feels similar. I’m writing to you while stretched taut between the writing and the revealing. In the meantime, I am going to Pakistan.
