All About Me
Hi! I'm Jaci.
Thank you for showing up here—I pray you find what you are looking for! As for me, I have learned to think of myself as limited and inadequate but loved and chosen, and so I introduce myself to you as just that. I am an ordinary woman that has the privilege of being partnered with an extraordinary God in bringing a taste of heaven into this present reality. I have been loved imperfectly and yet extravagantly by my husband Richard for a couple of decades, and it has opened my heart to God's love in transformative ways. Our home is full, with seven equally imperfect and remarkably wonderful children, most of whom have outgrown me in more ways than one.
Ministry
Richard and I have the privilege of serving as lead pastors of Anthem Church in Durban, South Africa. We love our community, we love to preach and teach, and we love to talk about God around our dining room table with good friends—old and new. I have called myself a writer since I was a little girl and discovered that I preferred stories to colouring in. Through my books and blogs, and more probably because of the miracles God has famously done for my family, I have had the privilege of ministering in many beautiful contexts. I have loved to do so and sense God's favour in opening up my life and his Word to others.
My Heart
It delights my heart to write and teach, and it feeds my soul to hear how it may have benefited others. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and perhaps one day you'll get around to listening to a podcast, reading a few blogs or one of my books, which are available here on the online store. May God take the thoughts He has given me and the simple words I have tried to express them in and cause them to be seeds that grow in your life! That is my prayer.
