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. She was a young mother, far from her native England, navigating illness, financial strain, and own emotional obstacles. But it was precisely those hardships that opened her heart to something more—and taught her to listen.

In The Gift of Charity, Kerry shares how moments of pain became the very training ground for a divine mission. With no roadmap, she took one small step at a time: opening a modest catering business, preparing food with a newborn on her hip, and eventually launching a charity that would feed thousands of children across New Zealand. The miracles didn’t come all at once—but they came.


In these pages, you’ll learn:

-How your deepest wounds can lead to your greatest work

-Why spiritual callings often begin with quiet, inconvenient impressions

-How to embrace God’s plan—even when it diverges from your own

-That small, faithful actions unlock heaven’s power in unexpected ways


Through raw honesty, divine encounters, and real-life miracles, Kerry shows that God doesn’t just work through the perfect—He works through the willing. And often, the most extraordinary callings begin with a whisper . . . and a single step.
