The Gift of Charity: Wrapped in a Korowai of Love

By: Kerry Owen with Lisa Knowlton

Kerry Owen didn’t feel especially brave or qualified when a series of dreams called her to feed hungry children she'd never met. As a young mother from England, newly planted in New Zealand, she began receiving quiet impressions that wouldn’t let her go. With no roadmap, and only her faith to guide her, she stepped forward one prayerful moment at a time.

In The Gift of Charity, Kerry shares how her natural empathy, personal hardships, and health challenges became the very training ground for a divine mission.

Trusting in God, she began preparing food with a newborn on her hip and three children in tow, and eventually launching a charity that would nourish thousands of children in New Zealand. She didn’t have all the answers, but she had a willing heart—and that was enough.

This is a testimony to what happens when we respond to heaven’s nudge with courage.

In these pages, you’ll discover:
• How promptings from God often begin as persistent, and sometimes inconvenient, impressions
• Why your ordinary life may hold the seeds of extraordinary purpose
• How to trust God’s plan, even when it takes you somewhere unexpected
• That small, faithful acts—offered with love—can unlock divine power

With honesty, warmth, and spiritual insight, Kerry shows that God doesn’t call the equipped—He equips the called. And the most beautiful miracles often begin with a quiet yes, and a single step.
