I am currently study at The Salvation Army Booth College of Mission in Upper Hutt, New Zealand. I am married to a wonderful man of God, Pati and we have 2 lovely children. I love being around people who love God and have a real zeal for the spreading of God''''s word around the world!
Journey:
I received Jesus into my life when I was 8 years old at a Luis Palau evangelism crusade in Fiji in 1983. Istill remember the day so clearly because it was also the first time I heard the Jimmy Swaggart classic ''''Come Home'''' sung by the choir. Over the years I have become conscious of the calling that God has on my life and even though I tried to hide, to run away from it, God still had His hand on me and has waited patiently for me to return to Him and be obedient to His calling! What an amazing God!
