Office Manager

I came to New Zealand from Kazakhstan in August 2013 to study Business and to let God change my life.

I met Jesus in 1995 and God called me to join Him in church planting movement in Central Asia through various responsibilities as leader and manager. Prior to coming to NZ I have been working as an office manager for an international school (K-12) for the missionary kids for six years.

I love to sing and share God's love with nonbelievers. I enjoy meeting new people, watching movies and reading. I praise our Lord Jesus for providing me with a new family of true worshipers who serve Him at the TAB! I would like to be a blessing for my new brothers and sisters!

Jenny Hughes
Church Administrator
admin@tabernacle.org.nz

"I been working at the Tab as church administrator for about 8 years. I really enjoy my work and I don’t look on it as a job, I see it more as a ministry. I love meeting all the people and interacting with them. When I arrive at work I never know what the day will hold for me.  Sometimes it can be pretty diverse and I love it!

"I came to the Lord 10 years ago or should I say He came to me when I was on holiday in Rarotonga, (this is now my most favourite holiday spot). I then began looking for a church and as my son and his wife were coming to the Tab I decided to join then and have been here ever since.

"I am a Westie, living out there all my adult life. I have three children and six grandchildren and one great granddaughter. I love spending time with my grandchildren, especially the youngest ones and having all sorts of adventures with them.  I enjoy the family times and relaxing with friends."
