Donna lives in Belfast with her family. She’s passionate about the intersection between shifting western culture & mission theology and to reimagine church that can be deeply rooted into the Irish context as we look to the future. She has pioneered various church & mission initiatives from local churches & has explored how we can better witness to the fulness of the Kingdom.
