G’day, my name is Deborah Wassenberg. My husband and I live on beautiful Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia.
We have two grown children and two grandchildren.
Ray and I have been volunteers in Kid’s Ministry since we were teenagers. We’ve seen many changes over the years, but some things have stayed the same. Like children’s need to have fun, to develop genuine friendships, to be supported, and to grow in faith.
So we’re confident that the many resources we’ve created are relevant and valuable for Kid’s Ministry today. We want to give leaders and volunteers as much help as we can in running an exciting and engaging program so kids will love Jesus and enjoy attending their Kid’s Church to learn more about Him.
That’s why Cooee Kid’s Ministry provides free resources to make your Kid’s Ministry effective and fun. I write, and Ray edits. My brother built the original website for us. Everything is a labour of love. Love for Jesus, for His Church, and for children everywhere.
Why Cooee?
Growing up in the bush with my brother and two sisters, I heard the cooee call throughout my childhood. A cooee can travel over a long distance. It’s used to attract attention, find lost people or let others know where you are. It’s polite to give a cooee call before approaching someone else’s campfire.
No matter where you are, if your Kid’s Ministry needs a little help, if you’re lost, or want to gather around the campfire with like-minded volunteers, Cooee Kid’s Ministry is the place for you.
Welcome!
