I was born into a mining family that attended church every Sunday. Our church also supported a missionary nurse, and many things were collected and sent to this nurse for use in her situation.

Every year we had a children's mission run by the church army team which I attended with many others, and thoroughly enjoyed.
God was working in my life from a very young age. When I was about nine I remember hearing God speak to me, calling my name and I said to him that I would follow him. I was encouraged to read my bible each day which I  endeavoured to practice. We then moved house and the quality of teaching also changed so until I left home for nurse training, that was as far as my experience went. I joined the Nurses Christian Fellowship and it was then that I began to grow in the Lord and gain the depth that was missing. This fellowship was put in place by God for me because He knew my need before I did. Shortly after I began training as a nurse my father died - he had been very ill through out most of my teenage years. Then I learned to understand the very nature of suffering and could relate that to my life as a Christian.

I eventually attended bible college in Glasgow, worked in Israel, and in 'Glasgow and in Gateshead amongst Jewish people as a nurse and midwife/ Health Visitor, married Donald and we have three children.  I was a Sunday school worship leader and teacher in the church we attended.  For several years with Donald , I was also a member of the organising team for Wearside youth for Christ in the late 1970's and early 1980's

I have walked with the Lord now for about 45 years and day by day I keep learning new things about myself and my relationship with him.
The most important thing of all in my testimony is to say to anyone reading this, that God is real, Jesus died for me, rose again for me and ascended to heaven to intercede for me, and he continues that to this day and I just want to give him all the praise and all the glory for his work in my life.
