About Me

My photo
Deng Li-Xin
I am a missionary kid who grew up in Asia, working as a pastor in my "foreign home country". Poetry is my way of expressing what I learn from the Bible and my ministry in the church, and connecting it to daily life.

Back in 2010 I decided to write a poem for (almost) every woman in the Bible, and this has turned into my major project. Find the list of all the women I have written about / am planning to write about here.

Ich bin als Missionarskind in Asien aufgewachsen, nun bin ich Pfarrerin in der Schweiz. Seit 2010 schreibe ich für jede Frau in der Bibel ein Gedicht. Das meiste auf Englisch, hin und wieder versuche ich etwas zu übersetzen.
