Anna E. Hampton shares God’s Word that is interwoven with personal experiences from living and working for almost a decade in war-torn Afghanistan, five years in the Middle East, and from over twenty-six years of ministry experiences traveling in over seventy countries. She grew up as a farm girl in the Midwest and felt called to work overseas as a young teen. By her mid-twenties, she was in full-time work leading teenagers all over the world. She and Neal had a long-distance courtship across three continents, and after marrying began raising their family in Afghanistan. Anna writes with a realism and depth from her own trials of facing overwhelming obstacles with faith and joy while also living in challenging environments, and all of this while raising three young children with Neal. Anna holds a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Bethel University and a Doctor of Religious Studies from Trinity Theological Seminary. She is a Bible teacher and conference speaker at international women’s events in Central Asia, the Middle East, and in the US. Her husband, Neal, and their three teenagers currently are on an extended home leave in the USA. Neal and Anna frequently travel to the Middle East where they continue to serve cross-cultural workers in closed countries.
