Kellie was born and raised in Canberra in a non-Christian home, although she grew up going to church with neighbours and friends. She committed her life to Christ in year 12, and then while studying Education at the University of Canberra she was very involved in ministry to international students. She continued with this after university while doing a ministry apprenticeship with MTS before coming to Moore.
“Moving to College had many firsts for me. It was my first time to live outside of Canberra (apart from a year on exchange in Japan) and my first time to attend an Anglican church. I enjoyed living on campus and having the opportunity to talk through with people the things that we were learning.”
After Moore, Kellie has been working as a CMS missionary in Japan for the past decade, and at the start of this year, Kellie took 6 months study leave to start an MA in Theology at Moore: “I have really enjoyed this study and think it has helped energise me for the next 10 years in Japan.”
