World Evangelical Alliance - A Reflection on Motherhood Around the World

Dear Friend, Grace and peace to you, While Mother’s Day is celebrated at different times around the world, we would like to take the opportunity to honour mothers this weekend since it’s a day that is most recognized. Scripture tells us: “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” (Psalm 127:3) Through the voices of women across our global fellowship, we are invited into a deeper understanding of what this truly means. In a recent reflection, Dr. Peirong Lin explores how motherhood cannot be reduced to function or expectation, but instead reveals something profound about love itself — a love that is embodied, sacrificial, and rooted in relationship. What may begin as a question of identity or calling often becomes an invitation into God’s greater story of care, nurture, and legacy. Read the full reflection here. Across the World Evangelical Alliance community, we hear echoes of this truth. Reverend Esme Bowers, Director of Church Engagement shares a thoughtful reflection on spiritual mothering across generations and communities. “To all the mothers out there… biological, adoptive, spiritual — we see you. We can imagine the sacrifice of hopes and dreams to see it lived out in future generations… May you know and feel His love today and every day.” — Melanie Nelson, WEA Women’s Commission, North America “Truly I am blessed to be a spiritual mother to a host of children around the world… I travail in prayer with fasting like a pregnant woman to give birth to spiritual children.” — Dr. Miss Elizabeth Leelavathi Manasseh, Bangalore, India “Being a mother is a sacred calling, entrusted by God to nurture, guide and love with His heart… to reflect Christ’s compassion, even in the quiet and unseen moments.” — Nisreen Hawatmeh, World without Orphans, Middle East Regional Ambassador “God made mothers… those nine months are not only the development of a child, but the development of a mother — love, care and sacrifice are being formed.” — Grace Hee, Asia Evangelical Alliance Motherhood extends to the spiritual family. Whether through raising children, mentoring others, or nurturing faith in community, mothers play a vital role in shaping both present and future generations. Their witness is one of endurance, compassion, and quiet strength. Today, we honour and give thanks for mothers everywhere. You are seen. You are valued. You are deeply loved — by your communities, and by God.
