Beverley:
Beverley has been involved in children's Sabbath Schools since the age of 11.  For three years she led the Kindegarten childrens programs at Big Camp in North New Zealand, which catered for approximatly 110 children during the week and 400 on Sabbath.  She was also a District Childrens Sabbath School Co-ordinator in Auckland for 6 years, which involved visiting the 8 churches in her care to identify their needs and provide training, workshops and support for the children's leaders on a quarterly basis.

Beverley was an active leader in Pathfinders (a program similar to Scouts run by the Seventh-day Adventist Church) for 5 years.

She is well known for her children's stories in Church.

She has completed a Diploma of Social Sciences - Child Studies, and worked in the babies' room in a long daycare facility, as well as leading the Beginners Sabbath School at Lismore Seventh-day Adventist Church.
She has two children of her own (including Delwyn), both married, and three grandchildren.

She has a passion for Children's Ministries and believes that the training given from birth will have a vital impact on the child's life and help them make a decision for Christ.

Delwyn:
Delwyn also started helping in children's Sabbath Schools at the age of 11.  She has been the children's Sabbath School leader in Edmonton Seveth-day Adventist Church since 2006.  Edmonton is a small group aimed at spreading the gospel to the south side of Cairns, and the Children's Ministries is an important part of this.  Over the years, many children have come, even without their parents; some of them regularly, others from time to time.  

Regular contact has been made with as many as 50 children at times in the area, and Delwyn prints out lesson booklets each week to be handed out to the children at church or delivered during the week to those who were missed.

God has blessed Edmonton by supplying many children with learning difficulties including autism and severe ADHD, who, unless they were having a really good day, would run wild, be as disruptive as possible, or play outside and refuse to come in for church.  But thanks to the techniques in the books listed on the Resources Page, and the program designed to effectively teach the children (after reading these books), they were transformed by Gods love, happy to stay inside and participate in the Sabbath School program, enjoying the crafts and taking part in the discussions, and even sitting in church.  And whether they were at church or not, they are always eager to receive their "puzzle book" for the week.

Delwyn's children's stories are well liked by the whole church, children and adults alike.

In 2009 when some of the kids at Edmonton turned 10, Delwyn, with husband Steve started a Pathfinder club.  Once again the normal activities and curriculum had to be modified to suit the kids involved.  Some of these ideas are also included in this website.
