MEET MEGAN DANIELS
When my longtime friend and mentor was featured in Voice of Truth in January, I was excited to take a look.
When I received this magazine in the mail, I was pleasantly surprised. It takes a lot for me to want to read. The articles in Voice of Truth are engaging and, honestly, make me want to read more. It’s refreshing and inspiring to see how many talented ladies are using the gifts God has given them to reach others around the globe.
I’ve now signed up for the bi-monthly subscription and I look forward to reading more. Thank you.
MEET THE CARTLANDS
Brian and Josy Cartland have been sharing love, sharing Jesus and now sharing Voice of Truth magazines at the “Casa Cartland.”
Casa Cartland is a private tropical vacation rental cottage in the heart of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. They host missionaries, ministers, couples, professional athletes, artists, traveling nurses and individuals from all over the world who are looking for a quiet retreat. In late 2020, they opened their cottage to the Airbnb community and have met many people in need, including those who are looking for a place to recover after a surgery, a weekend to reconnect with their spouse, or even to have a spiritual retreat. Their cottage is decorated with encouraging scripture throughout.
Recently they hosted a single mother who was having surgery. She shared how blessed and peaceful she felt staying in their cottage, but she also expressed how she was greatly touched to find the Christian magazine “Voice of Truth” in her cottage. She truly enjoyed reading it during her recovery.
We provide this magazine as a courtesy to all our guests, but we also use it as a witnessing tool. The Cartlands invite you to come visit them soon!

MEET VAISHALI NAIR
Hello, my name is Vaishali Nair from Mumbai, India. I love reading Voice and Truth and I printed my very own copy from the digital copy I received in India through email. I am so happy and blissful in this moment to be able to hold this magazine in my hands as if I am holding hands together with all the Women World Leader sisters around the globe.
I remember the day when I coincidently saw Kimberly Hobbs’ first Facebook live meeting where she was urging each of us to write our stories. It would be a story which led us to victories in our lives through the consistent presence and guidance of Jesus. I was moved by what Kimberly said and went to the WWL site to check more on it.
I found the front page of this magazine and it was so attractive, but I could not download the first edition then because India was not listed there. So I sent out a message, and by God’s blessings and WWL team’s efforts, I could download the March edition.
The magazine has so many inspiring stories which touch my heart so deeply. I am thankful to all Women World Leaders for their continued inspiration through each of the life stories.
I am determined that we keep praying for each other as we are sisters in faith, and I also look forward to sharing my story with all of you. Sending tight hugs in Jesus’s caring name.
MEET A DUO OF FRIENDS:

MEET KORI WIEDT
Hi, my Name is Kori Wiedt and I’m from Ohio.
In 2013 I was in a great career at a Fortune 500 company, but the only thing important to a 23-year-old was her boyfriend and what next steps were with him. The relationship I thought I wanted to be in was verbally as well as physically abusive. It wasn’t until that summer that I decided, with the help of family and friends, to walk away from it completely.
Eight years later, I took the time to understand myself. I closed up to everyone and spent the time alone to find my worth, focusing on being a better person and what I wanted in my life and also for my career.
Those days that I thought were the worst days of my life ended up being the biggest blessing I could have received. God puts people in our lives to be a blessing or a lesson. It was both for me. It opened me back up to understanding how to love myself again, where to focus my energy, and what relationships mattered most. Ever since then, I’ve been intentionally trying to grow my relationship with God in various ways.
Our relationship and love with God is a rugged commitment. It’s not easy, and all of the world’s distractions try to blur our eyes to His truth daily. We must stay focused and continue to allow His Word to pour into us, just as the Voice of Truth has been doing with me. This magazine is unbelievable and a true blessing to have. When I first picked it up, I quite literally couldn’t put it down. Every testimony inside is a gift from God.
When I read “Lost and Found in Tinseltown” by Tina Gallo and Carrie Christopher, my eyes filled with tears. God was moving my heart through every sentence. “When we seek His plan for our lives and not ours, we will find real peace and true contentment.” I read that passage five times in a row, and my heart broke over and over. I sit back often times thinking through my life and try to find my purpose and what may be next in my career, when really, He already knows exactly what’s next and what’s best. His plan is the only plan and His timing is always perfect, and I found that sometimes I wasn’t ready for His blessings. As Stephanie Fincher put it on page 17 of VOT issue 1, “He eagerly waits for you to seek His peace for your pieces.” He’s waiting for my whole heart so He can mold me. It’s not what I think I need, it’s about what He knows I need. In that moment, the void I’ve been searching everywhere to fill, will be filled by the only One who can - my Lord.
