Growing up in Toowoomba, Belinda had an early start to public ministry – performing since eight years of age and serving in various leadership positions in the Wesleyan church from the age of thirteen.
After many years of school teaching, Belinda studied theology and music at Hillsong College in 2002. She then returned home to Toowoomba to minister as Music Pastor in a local Presbyterian church for six years.
Belinda has trained in classical voice and enjoys a range of musical styles. In the past few years she has co-written, directed and performed Christmas musical productions as an outreach to the community.
She has been involved in inter-denominational ministries – worship leading at Combined Church city events, being part of an album recording for and singing at Easterfest, being a guest worship leader at para-church organizations as well as speaking at various church events.
Since March 2009, Belinda has been ministering in an itinerant capacity, enjoying visiting churches of various denominations as well as other Christian groups. She has also spoken in High Schools to classes of girls.
Belinda has a passion to see people grow into all they are in Christ – being set free from the past and experiencing the reality of deep, abiding intimacy with Christ. Her vision is for the church to step up into all she is meant to be – open to the reality and power of the Holy Spirit and the new move of God. She longs for the church today to resemble the church of the New Testament – a transformational organism empowered by the Holy Spirit, impacting lives and communities with the love of Jesus.
ENDORSEMENTS Teen Challenge has been privileged to have Belinda support its ministries and events for a number of years. Belinda is always relevant and sensitive to the community and environment in which she is ministering. Whether Belinda is leading intimate chapel worship sessions at Teen Challenge’s New Life Centre or speaking at church or community events, Belinda’s heart is to bring the love of God and usher in the healing presence of the Holy Spirit which will see people set free. Our music ministry team had the pleasure of an afternoon of training with Belinda recently. The afternoon being well planned and presented in an interesting and interactive manner, allowed for many opportunities to try out the vocal exercises shown and to ask questions. Belinda worked with our team, training within the weaknesses that as a team we had identified, throwing in a refresher on vocal theory and microphone technique along the way (we appreciated microphone technique especially). The consensus after the training was that fun was had by all. We all learnt something from the session and were eager to put our new skills into practice, giving us all a boost of confidence to continue to grow in our ministry. -- Gillian Bonser, Copyright co-ordinator and training session liaison, St Barts Anglican Church, Toowoomba |
