Denise, an Anglican, is married to Garth and they have three adult children. She has been involved with World Day of Prayer in her area for 15 years. She formed Family Aid to Missions and headed the organisation, calling volunteers to assist. For many years they sent 20 ft containers of goods to overseas countries until the cost of doing so became prohibitive. Denise now provides care especially to the elderly and those who don't have family.
