Missy was born and bred in rural Taranaki, but her gumboots are pink and she can’t stand being more than five minutes from a cafe. She sums up the mission of Jesus like the film Lilo & Stich - Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. She believes the leadership of next-gen is critical in achieving mission, and lives for the moments when young people meet Jesus in a radical, life changing way.
