A bit about me

I have always loved reading and studying the Bible. I’m one of those who scribbles in the margin of my Bible, and I have copious pages of notes scattered throughout the house that have been recorded over many years.

It was during a very busy time in my life where my husband and I owned several small businesses and I was working part time on church staff, that I felt God’s call to fulltime study. I completed my Bachelor of Applied Theology and went on to complete my Master of Theology in 2012.

On concluding my Masters I joined the faculty of Elim Leadership College in Auckland, New Zealand, where I have the privilege of helping train the next generation of Christian leaders.

It was fairly early on in my studies that I really became passionate about passing on insights from God’s Word. This passion has only increased with time. Just as a baton is passed from one person to another in a relay race, my aim is to pass on to you the revelations, encouragements and even the challenges of Scripture. It’s my hope that you run with them!
