🌍 International Missions & Global Impact
LIFE EXPERIENCES
Patricia’s Christian life experiences initially come out of serving in one of two mega churches during the revival of the 70’s and 80’s, as an itinerant preacher and teacher expecting her needs and direction to be met by faith on a daily basis, traveling continually and living one day at a time, during the mid 80’s and 90’s, following a path of what she believed was the daily will of God’s guidance within that micro time frame of world wide revival.
Her own early development of gaining an understanding of the Woman Question came about initially through meeting Sandra Payne, and reading her book God’s Word to Women, studying the teachings of Catherine Bushnell, and other early authors as a member of Christians for Biblical Equality.
Public Speaker
Patricia has spoken for audiences large and small at educational institutions and conferences, conducted workshops, run courses, delivered weeklong teaching in churches and conducted live-in courses, and a ms guest speaker at retreats. Highlights of her extensive international speaking engagements included being recommended by the late Dr. Catherine Clark Kroeger to replace her as speaker at the London Bible College, the Biblical Equality conference in Lilliharmer, Norway, and in turn Catherine staying as a guest and speaking to an audience in Patricia’s home in Limerick, S Ireland.
Patricia also toured extensively, speaking in large and small churches, traveling and preaching in Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide and the churches in SA.
