or more than a decade, I have shared reflections through Food for Faith, inviting readers to tell their own stories of encountering God. What began as a simple invitation soon became something much greater, as people from all walks of life generously shared their experiences of faith, hope, healing, grace and God's presence in their everyday lives.

​

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John tell us of those who encountered Jesus Christ and shared their experiences so that others might come to believe (John 20:31). I believe we are invited to do the same today.

​

The name The Fifth Gospel reflects this conviction: that Jesus Christ is not only someone we read about in Scripture, but someone who is alive, present and active in our lives today. These reflections are a reminder that God continues to speak, guide, comfort, heal and inspire through the ordinary moments of everyday life.

​

My hope is that as you read these stories, you will recognise God's presence in your own life and perhaps be encouraged to share your own experience, so that others may also discover the hope, love and grace found in Him.
