Kathy Rowe
Kathy Rowe is a recently retired paediatrician with 3 sons, 3 daughters-in-law, and 9 grandchildren who bring her great joy. She and her late husband, Ken, collaborated professionally in research focused on the overlap between education and health. She was fortunate to grow up in the country, surrounded by the example of her parents and an aunt who were mature and consistent followers of Jesus.

She loves teaching and working with families, young people, and children, helping them understand what it means to trust Christ and follow Him. In her spare time, she enjoys sewing, gardening, and various craft activities, as well as attempting to complete her UFOs (unfinished objects) or PHDs (Projects Half Done), alongside an active and busy church life.
