Sue’s story is filled with adventure. She has enjoyed picnics on a junk boat on the South China Sea, ridden a camel on the shore of the Black Sea in Karachi – Pakistan, and has celebrated wedding anniversaries on deserted stretches of beaches in the Philippines and Guam. Sue says God has taken her into the squalor of Vietnamese Refugee camps, into dozens of cardboard huts in a slum called Rio Mar in the Dominican Republic, into houses made out of cow dung in Pakistan, into hundreds of Chinese Schools in Hong Kong and back to Canada . . . as His Ambassador.” Her declaration in life is: “I’m living to make Him famous!”  Conference Costs: Adults £25 p/p Teen girls £10 p/p
