About the Author: Sandy Galea

Sandy Galea writes the majority of Kidswise material. However, a number of talks and units on the web site have been written by other members of her church (St Alban's Multicultural Bible Ministry, Rooty Hill Anglican, Sydney).

Jo Bailey and Joan Cooke have faithfully edited all resources on the Kidswise web site. Maggie Ha has designed the stencil masters and the majority of PowerPoints now available on the Kidswise web site, making the programs easy for busy Childrens Workers to use.

Sandy is married to Ray Galea and they have three children - James, Amy and Madeleine.

Sandy became a Christian when she was ten years old through a Family Mission. She has a passion to see children come to know Jesus as Saviour, and for them to grow in love of and obedience to him as their Lord.

Sandy is a trained primary teacher who has had over thirty years experience in both school and church based ministries, as well as camping programs, Kids Clubs and Children's Missions.

For the past twenty years she has been writing her own material for use in her local church. Her school age programs follow her church’s sermon series.

As a result, she has written and edited over eight hundred children’s talks. In 2002, Sandy published a book called “Children’s Talks – a practical guide”, which aimed to share some of the insights from her broad experience.

She has trained Childrens Workers in her local church as well as Childrens Workers across Australia and overseas.

This web site aims to share more of her resources.
