Rosie Overcomer shares her story about growing up in Gloriavale

When Rosie Overcomer looked at her newborn daughter’s face for the first time, she was overwhelmed with fear.
She was afraid of her daughter having the same upbringing as she had, in a place where women weren’t valued as highly as men – Gloriavale, the isolated Christian community on the West Coast.
“I looked at her in her cot and thought, ‘She’s not safe here’.”
Rosie visited Paraparaumu last week to tell her story about life in Gloriavale, and leaving the sect, at the Kāpiti Chamber of Commerce’s International Women’s Day luncheon, which attracted more than 200 people.
