Sue’s family migrated from England when she was a child. While living at a migrant hostel in Adelaide, she attended a Gospel Hall Sunday School and, for the first time, heard the Gospel. In due course, she grew to appreciate the wonderful grace of God and gladly realised that Jesus had died for her. As a young Christian, Sue loved reading missionary biographies and this fuelled her ongoing interest in gospel work both here and overseas. She and her husband now live in Geelong where they enjoy being part of the Geelong West Presbyterian Church. Sue’s husband, three children and 11 grandchildren bring her much joy – most of the time!
