Anglicare Village Chaplain

Katie has been a Christian for nearly two thirds of her life, working in Christian ministry in various ways since then. Katie works part time as a Village Chaplain at The Ponds Retirement Village. Her greatest delight is to teach the Bible and encourage people towards the hope that is found in Christ. An endless cup of tea (in the finest china) on a secluded beach (preferably in NZ), with a good book (with no interruptions), is her idea of bliss!
