“You have taken account of my wanderings. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.”
– Psalm 56:8
Sacred Wanderings is a blog for pastors’ wives and ministry-living women who could use some honest encouragement–the real stuff that comes from real life. It’s the passion of a pastor’s daughter turned pastor’s wife and a sister traveler with you on the wandering path.

Testimonies from Members of 27PWG Online Gatherings
~Tiaunna (3-year PWG member)
It is an honor to share my story of how the ministry of 27 Pastors’ wives has saved my heart and sanity from deep despair. I was really there on the edge, until God led me to The Gospel CoalitionYoutube interview –Front Row Seat: Walking with God. There were many things in the interview that gripped me and then compelled me to reach out so I could connect more deeply to this ministry. 27PWG’s website (sacredwanderings.community) was like reading my private journal that I never wrote; adding to my experiences with grace and hope. I am not alone, praise God! I am forever grateful that God has made 27PWG available so that other sisters in Christ no longer need to feel isolated. I look forward to every monthly online 27Gathering.

INTERNATIONAL
I live in a country where the majority religion around me is not Christianity, so there are very few churches and very few pastors’ wives. 27PWG online Gatherings have provided a way to connect with other pastors’ wives in a meaningful community, even though I’m many time zones away. I reached out to join 27PWG during a time when my husband was severely discouraged from ministry struggles. Some of my 27 Sisters were more experienced and assured me that what my husband and I were dealing with was typical, and they helped renew my hope in the promises of Christ to build his church. It’s been so encouraging to talk to other women who truly understand. It has been both beneficial and really sweet. 27PWG is an honest, safe place where I have been free to share both personal and ministry issues without fear of betraying confidences. I’ve learned and grown a lot from the wisdom of the other women who have been vulnerable, relating their successes, challenges, and struggles. Their advice to me as they speak into my life has been a blessing; I just appreciate this ministry so much!
~Adah (2-year 27PWG member, living in the Middle East)
27 Pastors’ Wives Gatherings have been an outlet for me, especially when I didn’t have another pastor’s wife in my church or community that I could share with or receive counsel from while dealing with hard times within my church. I was going through an especially dark time when I found Joanna’s ministry and remember thinking how desperately I needed an older pastor’s wife’s input and care in my life. That was exactly what I found in this community. Even after having help through my dark season, 27PWG continues to give me perspective, friendship, and Biblical truth.
