The New Life Aus team would like to formerly welcome our newest member to the board: Mrs Elizabeth Kendal.

Her responsibilities included producing resources annually for the International Day of Prayer (IDOP) for the Persecuted Church. Elizabeth resigned from WEA in April 2009 to continue her religious liberty ministry independently.

Since leaving WEA, Elizabeth has continued to produce a weekly Religious Liberty Prayer Bulletin (RLPB) to facilitate strategic mission, aid, advocacy and prayer. Additional news and analysis is posted to Religious Liberty Monitoring and linked to via the RLPB. She also maintains a site dedicated to Critical Prayer Requests (CPR) for nations where Christians are persecuted. Elizabeth is the author of two books.

Elizabeth lives in a traditional hills cottage in the foothills of the beautiful Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia.
