veronica_sepia

Veronica Vaughan, Secretary. As a child Veronica was deeply touched by Jesus, and in her early 20′s she began her spiritual journey. In her 30′s she was part of a group exploring the teachings of Jesus, and lived in a community dedicated to that study. Her contact with Robert Perry’s book, The Elder Brother in the 1990‘s rekindled her childhood devotion to Jesus. In January 2004 she found herself drawn to The Mustard Seed Venture and it’s ideals. As The Mustard Seed Venture evolved into living out Jesus’ teachings through service to others, Veronica began to experience a sense of joy, and life in the kingdom. This inspired her to join the Board of Directors, to do what she could to bring these teachings to life. Veronica has a background in business, and is currently managing a local gallery.
