Paul and Renee Ravesteyn are ministers at Northgate Church of Christ, Belrose, New South Wales. They have a heart for Africa. Renee grew up in the bush of Zambia until she was 18. Paul, at the age of 22, found himself in Africa building hospitals, schools and churches.

In 1989, during a building expedition, Renee’s brother Ian was tragically taken and killed by a crocodile. After this devastating event, Paul and Renee met, fell in love and got married. They now have 5 children and have not lost their passion for Africa and overseas ministry.
