Nga Rangatahi o Te Pihopatanga o Aotearoa News

Profile: Manu Kokiri Kohine

Name: Kersna Cherrington
Age: 33
Rohe: Whangarei
Amorangi: Te Tai Tokerau

My pastimes are… “Rugby, Netball, Basketball, Cooking, and most of all going to church on Sundays.”

I spend most of my time… “Following my children around with their sports and school trips or just being there when they need me, which is most of the time. My other spare time is taking up by helping whanau members and supporting my dad as the Archdeacon of Te Tai Tokerau and his name is Moses Cherrington.”

Involvement with rangatahi: “I’ve been involved with rangatahi through out Te Tai Tokerau for four years now, at the moment I am helping Tapu to organise an Evangelism camp coming up these school holidays in Auckland. We have other things coming up for this year, which you all will get to find out shortly.”

In my new role as Manu Kokiri Kohine… “I will help, plant, nurture, support and give my time to young women to become Kohine leaders within Te Tai Tokerau. My target will be identifying all young women who can step up to becoming a Kohine leader, guide and serve them wherever they may be. I am here to support any young women with whatever path they may take.”

Last words: “I look forward to meeting and seeing all you young women within the church and I hope we all become great Kohine leaders. Until next time may God be with you all.”
