As a Christian wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, employee and now author, it is
with much excitement that Francy the Firefly commenced and continues her journey.
The story of Francy reflects my own childhood experience and is in part a testimony
to God's power over fear in my own life.
As a young child and the daughter of an Alcoholic, I knew what it was to experience
fear. I was afraid of my Dad and after he left when I was only 11 years old, my fear
changed to what it was going to be like to grow up without a Dad. Two years later my
life changed when at Teen Ranch I gave my life to the Lord at the age of 13 years
old. This young faith grew and flourished under the nurture of teachers at Danebank
Anglican Girls School. I have grown to have solid and active faith over many years
that has seen me through the many challenges of this life, with the Lord God as my
Father in Heaven. Children’s Ministry is my passion and I love to talk to children
about Jesus, my faith and trust in God. I have been an active member of Menai
Anglican Church for the past 10 years. My favourite thing to do is to spend time with
my family, husband Tim and my 2 girls Courtney (12) and Katelyn (10).
Over the past 20 years of working in various Kids Ministries I have had an ever
growing awareness of how difficult it can be to find practical and fun bible based
stories that provide an understandable and practical application of the Bible especially
for younger children. After finishing as a Sunday School teacher in July 2007, the
development of some material to satisfy this need became my goal and God has
been opening doors ever since.
It is this journey that prompted me to look at developing this series of fun and
interactive stories and kids spots talks for churches that help build godly character in
kidz and win kidz for Christ.
