Christine Paterson

Christine was brought up in a mission environment – her parents served together for over forty years as missionaries in Africa, where she spent her early years. This unique background has helped her to be the support and ministry partner for her husband Ross in the various countries and continents to which the Lord has led them over the years. A qualified coach and cross-cultural tutor, as well as blogger on the topic of crossing cultures, Christine has lived and breathed this for decades!
