About
About Sandra
A New Zealander, a missionary, an author, and at eighty, starting again.
Sandra King
Sandra grew up and went to school in Nelson, New Zealand. At 12 she watched The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, the story of missionary Gladys Aylward, and never lost the sense that she was being called to something greater.
Thirty years in China
Years later she left for China, where she opened three orphanages and three half-way homes and rescued 670 babies, many of them with special needs. Many were adopted by families around the world, and some still write to her. One of her babies, now living in New Zealand, came to her 80th birthday party.
A Kiwi’s House of Aroha
Today Sandra works in eastern Uganda as A Kiwi’s House of Aroha. Aroha is the Māori word for love, and the ministry’s stamp shows just that: a kiwi, with a heart, in a house.
How we keep in touch
Sandra writes a letter most months. They are honest about what’s gone well and what hasn’t, and they’re the best way to know what is really happening.
