Joanne Gilchrist

I've been writing since I was a little girl, typing poetry on my Dad's Amstrad computer and performing them to anyone who would listen. I love exploring the wonder of God and searching the Bible for understanding. I like to join the dots and make difficult concepts easy to understand - especially for children and their grown-ups.

Over the years I've worked full time for YWAM in the UK and New Zealand, I've been a full time mother to three incredible daughters, I've founded and run a charity (Ruach Resources - home to the God for Kids app and Animals of Eden Valley books) and now I work for Scripture Union (England and Wales) doing the very thing I love - helping children to draw closer to Jesus by writing and creating beautiful, inspiring, helpful resources.

I have a Graduate Certificate in Theology, Ministry and Mission, am committed to serving in my local church and I love to cross-stitch in the evenings. How about you?
