Championing one another

Your deep read this month is on how many of us are tackling the ‘invisible load’. Anna Rees Green, a member of the news team at Premier, considers why more women than men are feeling the pressure to serve both at home and in church. 

This issue’s focus on a female business owner is Ali Gillum (page 20), who creates spaces to help people mourn and celebrate in a personalised way – including at funerals. If you are a founder of or involved in a female-led organisation, we want to champion you and share your story! Drop me an email at womanalive@premier.org.uk as we’d love to speak with you.

There’s a powerful testimony of meeting with Jesus in the Life Lessons interview with Faridah who was brought up in the Islamic faith, turned to New Ageism and married a man connected with freemasonry. She describes the magnificent shift their lives took when she had a direct encounter with God. 

Also, this month, a focus on the persecuted Church, with two opportunities to pray with other Christians all around the world. On 2 November it is International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church and on 15 November Open Doors UK and Ireland are hosting a prayer vigil. To give you an insight into how many Christian women in Pakistan are being persecuted and forced into marriage, read this month’s book club interview here. 

We send Woman Alive magazine to conferences and events all over the UK, so if you want to order in bulk for your own event, email us at womanalive@premier.org.uk and we will send the request on to the marketing team to organise for you. 

Thank you for your ongoing support – I hope you will continue to be blessed and encouraged by what you read in Woman Alive.

Love and blessings,
