Author: Leah

Leah Highfill accepted Christ as her Saviour and became a child of God at the age of 18. Originally from the USA, she and her husband moved to the mission field of Canada in 2005, where she served in full time ministry as a pastor's wife for 10 years. During their tenure there, they became dual citizens. Leah and her family returned to NC in 2015 to enjoy a sabbatical. They are now preparing to move overseas. She homeschools her children {Small Son is 12 and Tiny Daughter is 10} and teaches private piano lessons on the side. She can be found reading, writing/blogging, playing the piano and violin, or ice skating. A friend to pastors' wives from all over the world, Leah has a passion to inspire hope and to encourage women in their walk with God. Leah is the founder of the Heart-to-Heart retreats (held annually in the mountains of NC) for pastors' wives. Her first book, Expecting Grace, was published in 2013. Expecting Grace is the story of Leah's experience and survival of a life threatening pregnancy, and of many medical and financial miracles along the way. Join her grace-filled journey right here at Hope For Pastors' Wives.
