Parakaleo

Parakaleo Parakaleo is a Greek word for coming alongside.

We are a global organization that equips and supports women who are making disciples of Jesus in their own context, particularly church planting.

✨ One of the highlights of last week was our Women’s Evening ✨

We loved gathering with women involved in church leadership, ministry, and church planting from across London for the unofficial launch of Parakaleo.

It was a special evening of encouragement, friendship, prayer, meaningful conversation, and great food. Many left feeling refreshed, strengthened, and reminded that they are not alone in the journey.

We’re excited about what God is building through this growing community and would love to connect with more women serving in leadership, ministry, or supporting church planting across London.



A warm thank you to Elizabeth Olujimi for capturing the heart of the evening so beautifully. 😊

We grow gospel resilience in community. As women learn to interpret their stories through God's redemptive work, they begin to unmask false identities and step into who they were made to be. As a result the fruit doesn't stop with them, it reaches the whole church.

We're so grateful to welcome five new members to our Board of Directors.

At Parakaleo, we believe healthy leadership strengthens healthy ministry, and these five bring exactly that.

Wisdom, diverse experience, and a genuine heart for women in church planting.

Our board plays a vital role in guiding where we're headed and how we sustain the work long term.
We're thankful God has provided faithful people to help carry that.

When the calendar slows down, the noise in your head doesn't always follow. The questions creep in. The weight you've been carrying for everyone else finally has room to surface. And it can feel like the stillness is working against you.
But rest isn't where the enemy wins. It's where Jesus meets you.
