So glad you dropped by…

I’m Lynne. I was born in southern Africa in a country which back then was called Rhodesia. Now the country is known as Zimbabwe.

At 9 years of age, I joined my mum, dad and little sister as we packed up our lives and bid a teary farewell to the only world we’d ever known. We boarded a British Airways jet, waved goodbye and winged our way to America via England.

Dad studied at seminary for three years in the US state of Pennsylvania, while my sister and I attended local schools and acquired an American twang.

Once he was a fully fledged pastor, Dad took his little family on a month long journey via container ship to the Land Down Under.

Australia!

I was 12. This unique country became my beloved new homeland and my accent shifted to a hybrid Aussie brogue.

Years passed and now I’m a tad older.

At 19 I fell in love with an energetic Aussie/Dutchman who was passionate about serving God. Within a year we were married and training for a life overseas.

Four lively adorable children (who often feature in my stories!) and quite a few years later, we’re still living life to the full - adventures, dramas, fun and serving our great God together.

Most of the last twenty-plus years has been spent working among the beautiful Banwaon indigenous people of the southern Philippines.

I’d be delighted if you join me as I share adventures, stories and life lessons!

Come along!
