The Well
Wednesday 1.30pm-3.30pm
A place to connect and be refreshed with coffee and time out.
I am currently in the ‘empty nester’ faze of life, discovering what that means for me. I presently have boarders and Airbnb guests that I share my home with, which I love and am grateful for both their company and an income. I have two adult children, Claudia and Jamie and a precious granddaughter Olive. Taupo Baptist has been my spiritual home for the last 35 years, where I have served in various areas. My journey of solo parenting for 20 years and other life challenges have influenced my involvement with the team that established ‘The Well’ 5 years ago. It has incorporated my gift of hospitality with my love of people, my desire to share God’s love and to encourage connection and support to others. I am studying part-time through BTI doing a Social Work Degree which complements my heart for those going through challenging situations. In my spare time I love Op shopping, nothing better than finding a good bargain, being creative, gardening and enjoying the outdoors for a walk.

If you are struggling with debt, unemployment, a life-controlling habit or living on a low income.
I am married to Helen and we have 4 children, 4 grandchildren a cat and some chickens. “The University of Life” has been my main training institution as I journey through life. I am privileged to be running The Taupo CAP Debt Centre in partnership with Christians Against Poverty and I am passionate to seeing people become debt free. This year (2019) I started running Release Groups to help people with life controlling habits and addictions. Working alongside people in this way has helped me grow and I also get excited to see others grow as they discover they can journey towards freedom to become the person God wants them to be.
