Healing Life's Hurts - A Cry For Help


There’s a very high profile news story at the moment that it’s impossible to ignore. Whatever you think of it, you will certainly have registered it. It has all the elements of a blockbuster movie; a story of pain, anger and betrayal, played out at the highest level. Like all such stories, the unspoken narrative is one of longing. A longing to feel loved. Unconditionally loved. No matter what.

Whatever you feel about the wisdom of sharing intimate family problems in the public domain, and the nature of how this has been done, there are resonances in Prince Harry’s story for all of us. At its heart, it’s a story of unresolved childhood trauma. And who amongst us has not gathered childhood wounds of one sort or another? We all do. And we all need to find healing, otherwise those wounds drive our adult lives in unhealthy ways.

'Healing Life’s Hurts’ is the working title of my upcoming book. And for twenty years that has been the focus of my ministry; facilitating encounters with the Jesus who still heals today. And what a journey it’s been. It has been the greatest privilege to follow God’s unexpected call on my life and deeply humbling to see lives transformed as people live into the truth that they are loved beyond measure, just as they are. The anointing on this ministry continues to grow in breath-taking ways.

Can you help me to continue this important work?

From the beginning, my ministry has been funded by donations. But now a crunch point has come. Like many people and organisations, I am feeling the pinch in these economically challenging times. My ministry is now operating at a significant financial loss and without further support it will probably be unsustainable.

There has never been a more important need for people to find healing. But producing resources and running retreats is costly in terms of time and money. If you, or someone you know, values the help that my ministry has offered please would you consider partnering with me to continue this vital work. It’s not about me: it’s about what God can do through this ministry. Please help if you can. I would hate to have to stop now.

 The details of how you can help are HERE.

Please take a look; even donations the size of a widow’s mite will help me and every prayer helps more than you will ever know. To paraphrase Jesus, the workers are few but the needs are great.

And in the meantime, let us all pray for Harry, for all whom his story impacts, and for all who need to find healing from life’s hurts.

 God be with you x
