Ex-inmate 'Ken Gartner'


Coming to Bream Bay CRF, Ken Gartner. November 8th, 2009.
(If you are unable to make to our service Ken will be speaking at 'Lifepoint Baptist,' November 1st)
Ken Gartner is a New Zealand Maori. He was a teacher for most of his working life, until his career came to a sudden end twenty four years ago when he served a short term of imprisonment. He turned to Christ while he was inside. Upon his release, he returned to university, gaining BA, BA (Hon), and MA degrees in Maori Studies at Victoria University. He is currently studying towards a doctorate degree. He is a member of Prison Fellowship New Zealand, and takes services on a regular basis in both the men and women's prisons in the Wellington area and at other parts of New Zealand, fulfilling a covenant he made with Jesus in 1983 to tell prisoners everywhere about his love. He is married to Ann, and they both belong to the Elim Church in Wellington New Zealand.
