Kate

Kate grew up with a love for other languages and cultures. As part of her undergraduate studies, she spent a year living and studying in South East Asia. This experience cemented her love for the people of South East Asia and began to open her eyes to the importance and urgency of sharing the Gospel.

Prior to moving to South East Asia, Kate worked as a school teacher in regional Victoria. She taught both English and the national language that she now uses in her everyday interactions. Kate led her school’s Languages team and was able to build both English and national language programs from the ground up.

Kate looks forward to drawing on these past experiences in her future work as an education consultant at a vocational training college. She is excited to come alongside other team members in this role, which combines her passions for education, South East Asia and helping people see how much God loves them.

Since arriving, she has been focussed on getting to know her local area and language learning. Kate is continuing to learn the national language and has begun learning the regional language of where she is living. As she settles in to her new home, Kate is enjoying getting to know local friends, sharing meals and chatting together.
Kate is passionate about sharing the Gospel in South East Asia, and seeing vibrant faith communities sharing Jesus in their own distinctive ways.
