Our People – Profile

Madelein Smit

Administrative Assistant
Auckland

I joined The Navigators in July 2025 and serve as Administrative Assistant to the National Administrator. Before this, I spent over six years at The River Christian Church as the Facilities Manager, where I was also involved in managing finances and events. My heart is to see people come to know God personally and grow in spiritual maturity, and I consider it a privilege to support that mission through my role.

I’m blessed with a wonderful husband, Bertie, and we have two amazing children who are navigating the exciting transition from teenagers to young adults. We live near Pukekohe, Auckland, and enjoy being part of a vibrant local community.
