www.justmoved.org – Site by Susan Miller…here are many articles applicable to transition times in ministry, both practical suggestions and topics pertaining to moving and settling in a new location can be found. Though it is from the U.S., its material is relevant.

www.justbetweenus.org – This site is an excellent, broad ranging website. There are links to a current and very comprehensive magazine (which you can read online for free). There are “hot topics” regularly and opportunities to receive weekly blogs/devotionals. It is organized by Jill Briscoe who is married to Stuart Briscoe. This is a U.S. site

http://www.incourage.me// – This is a site for women, not specifically for women in ministry families. However, many of the articles touch on relevant topics such as managing relationships, family life, coping with daily life and so on. It’s linked to Dayspring.

She states the purpose of the site as: “to connect ministry wives around the globe for the purpose of prayer, encouragement, awareness, accountability, bible study and friendship.” There are many resources, articles, blogs and links to conversations relevant to ministry life. This is a U.S. site

www.GPWN.org – This is probably the largest U.S. site for ministry wives. It began several years ago and was founded by Tony Evan’s wife, Lois in the southern US. It is extensive as well but more relevant to the United States than Canada.
