After earning both a BA and a DipEd, she taught at both elementary and high schools and then and then studied for a year at Moore College in the Bible and Missions Program. Bron and David, her husband, moved to Vancouver, Canada in 1991 where David is the Rector of St. John’s Vancouver Anglican Church. She is mum to two adult sons, Josh and Ben, the latter who married Kelsey. She is now delighted to also be grandmother to baby Rayah.

Bron likes reading, swimming, birdwatching and dabbling in water colour.
Jan Hobbis has recently retired from the position as the Director of Women's ministry at St. John's Vancouver Anglican church. She has a love for leading Bible studies and is committed to training women to teach the Bible. She is a mother and a grandmother, and her grandchildren are the joy of her life. She enjoys a good round of Dutch Blitz, dark chocolate, and red wine…but maybe not all at the same time.
