THE HISTORY
The Home of Christian Poets was founded by Jessica, who has been reciting poetry for over 25 years.
The Lord gave her a blue print of a Christian poetry fellowship, to unite poets in using their gift in an evangelistic calling to set the captives free. He spoke to her clearly and said she would be a “pastor” to poets.
The vision was in 2020, when poetry was virtually unheard and was rarely recognised as a ministry gift. and as a ’baby’ Christian at the time,, this seemed far fetched and so family and work commitments retained her focus. As time went by Jessica became more involved in ministry life. She emigrated to the Caribbean, where her husband founded a church.
On their return to the UK she was ordained and Co-Pastored a church with her husband in Hackney, London, co-founded a school of evangelism, graduated from Bible College and was part of the Pastoral Team of Ruach City Church.
Jessica has since published two books, released an EP, was the first to have a poetry page as a regular feature in KEEP THE FAITH magazine, was the House Poet for a Christian TV programme, has been invited to minister in poetry at events in the U.K.,BVI, the Caribbean and the US. She currently hosts Poetically Speaking on the award winning Soul Food Gospel Show, runs a Poetry, Power & Prayer zoom group and conducts poetry therapy workshops.
POETRY TODAY
Over the last decade there has been an exponential outpouring of poetic expression and it now has finally been acknowledged in Christian ministry as well as in secular society. The vision God gave her in 2000 was not as far fetched as she thought at the time. GOD knows the end from the beginning and knew that in the future - which is the now - poetry would be a powerful voice in the world.
Jessica was being pruned and moulded for God’s plan for her life .... to be a Pastor to Poets. Thus The Home of Christian Poets was finally birthed.
