Carmelina ministers with her husband Jeff at Chatswood Presbyterian Church. She never ceases to be amazed that she grew up in an Italian Catholic family and God used a Jordanian Baptist friend in primary school to introduce her to the Jesus who saves us by grace alone!
Whilst she enjoys reading, great coffee, jogging and cooking with her four primary school-aged children, Carmelina loves nothing better than an afternoon with women talking about anything and everything, especially Jesus.
