St Mark’s UNEchurch Armidale | Trainer: Julie Cook

Greetings, I am Petra – I am a wife, full-time mother & I’ve brought my two young children along with me to serve Christ through an MTS-MTW apprenticeship.

Serving with children has been challenging but a blessing. So far, I have been learning how to serve God and demonstrate living in faithfulness during a busy period of life.

My prayer for this apprenticeship is to carve a path for other mothers to see ministry with children is possible. We are all called to serve Jesus at every stage of life and as Jesus said in Mathew “let the little children come.”
