Jodie Rickard

Jodie is married to Chris and moved from Melbourne to Ballart thirty-three years ago. She has four adult children and three grandchildren.

She currently lives at Beaufort and attends Beaufort Community Church.

“Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly” Psalm 1.1 was the scripture Jodie read after having her first child that inspired her to either home school or have her children taught by Christians. Jodie has a commitment to lifelong learning .

Jodie is a Registered Nurse and works at a regional hospital.  She and Chris are involved in training and facilitating Liberian young adults to fulfil their calling to care for orphans in Liberia, Africa. They are currently overseeing the building of a residential complex for this purpose in Monrovia, as well as assisting other Christian leaders in Liberia with their vision.
