Outrunning Fear

Pulled from her bed in the middle of the night to run for her life from the soldiers of the Lord's Resistance Army, Christine's childhood in war torn Uganda was one of sharp contrasts - the fear and terror of war countered by the kindness and care of a loving family and a protective community.

In a bid to keep her safe, her family fly her across the world in the hope that a new life in Europe will bring security and opportunity - but here she is faced with a new set of challenges as she learns to navigate life in an alien landscape. Isolated and far from home she must draw from the depths of her resilience, faith, and determination to learn how to survive.

Set against the harsh landscape of Northern Uganda and moving from Germany to the UK, Outrunning Fear is the story of a young woman who overcame the most terrifying obstacles and learned that no matter what your circumstances, life will block and challenge you, what matters most is how you respond.

This is Christine's story.
