I Heard Their Cry

I Heard Their Cry is a powerful and deeply moving account of faith, reconciliation, and the enduring love of God. At its heart, this remarkable book reveals the compassion of the Great I AM-the God who sees, loves, and lifts the marginalised, exploited, and voiceless.
Through personal testimony and historical reflection, the author takes you on a journey from prayerful obedience to bold action, answering the call to bring healing and restoration to those still burdened by the wounds of the past. From the turbulent history of Oliver Cromwell's conquests to the lasting impact on Barbados, Ireland, and beyond, this book exposes generational pain and injustice. It shines a light on the descendants of those transported as prisoners-people still living under the shadow of forgotten suffering.
But this is also a story of hope and redemption. The author's tireless pursuit of reconciliation and justice offers a profound challenge: Will we, too, become agents of healing in a broken world? With humility and unwavering faith, the author demonstrates that one faithful, prayerful, and obedient life can indeed make a difference-transforming individuals, communities, and even nations.
Both deeply personal and globally significant, I Heard Their Cry is more than a book-it's a call to action. A call to embrace the ministry of reconciliation, to see the unseen, and to step into the healing work of God.
It leaves us with a question that echoes through the ages: "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
Will you answer the call?
