Who we are
Paperkites is an online collective created to resource those who disciple or minister to children. While Paperkites is hosted by Margaret Ranchhod, other contributors to this site include friends and colleagues who offer a wealth of experience from decades of involvement in children’s ministry while serving our local church, Stairway Church, in Melbourne, Australia.
