Petrina is currently studying Theology at a Masters level (MA Christian Studies) as her desire is to see the fulfilment of the prophetic vision of Australia to be the ‘Great Southland of the Holy Spirit’. Growing up with parents who pioneered and led Aboriginal ministries, she believes the prophetic vision will be fulfilled when the first peoples of the land engage in sustained movements of revival and discipleship, with other Australians. Petrina has been sought out to speak and minister in schools, churches and youth events across W.A.
