Lacey Swartz

Originally from the US, a mother of 7, and involved in various aspects of natural health, sustainable business, and community development since 2004, Lacey moved to the UK with her family in 2015 to work with small churches across denominations and in diverse communities in the West Midlands. Passionate about seeing unhealthy and destructive divisions of all sorts in life transformed into healthy and life-giving boundaries for all, Lacey longs to live out Jesus’ call to be a peacemaker wherever she goes. Shortly after moving to the UK, she connected online with Davis, an inspiring young leader in Uganda committed to creating a better life for orphans in his community, having been himself an orphan. Ten years on, she continues to be inspired by the New Life for Orphans kids and community and loves to share their story and the many lessons learned from them. For fun, Lacey loves camping and board games with her family, going on hikes and crocheting with friends, and playing oboe and English horn in her local community orchestra, having previously played professionally in the US.
