HELEN KOBAKIAN

Helen was raised in a Christian home in Sydney, NSW and was always passionate about the Church. But it wasn’t until a very personal encounter with God’s grace and goodness in her late teens that she committed her life to serve Him in a greater way.  Today Ps Helen is a gifted communicator who is passionate about connecting people to God, each other and to their God-given talents. Her down to earth, easy-going style has a way of opening people’s hearts to God’s incredible love for them. Through ‘Flourish’ Women’s Conference in Melbourne and Poland, Helen continues to inspire women of all ages.
