About me

Gender Female
Occupation Mother 1st with paid day job: researcher, writer, trainer and campaigner
Location London, United Kingdom
Introduction Born & raised in South Africa - product of missionary parents with faith that's been explored, tried & tested. Proud single mother (bigamist marriage), pragmatic, industrious, creative & slightly nuts. Caught in the turmoil of political change (70's & 80's) my sense of justice turned to rebellion & I set sail on a disastrous journey. God in His mercy found me 10 years later & brought me back into His loving care. I returned to UK, "land of my father", in 2002 with 3 suitcases & 2 small boys. It's been an astounding journey - blessings poured out in such abundance that I'm often speechless at the wonder, power, might & brilliance of Christ Jesus. I count it a privilege to see vision realised in policy & law; lead & manage global projects; & participate in advocacy for social justice in political think-tanks & pressure groups. This blog is to encourage you to never give up, work out your salvation, expect the unexpected & always look to Jesus. Let HIM lead you through this time on earth.
