Can you talk us through some of the things you do that help you get through it?” questioned Sam, panning the camera towards Tony as the van bounced along the highway. No reply came from the sleeping Tony, totally oblivious to the banter directed his way.Days later, a new voice echoed out over the drone of rolling wheels, soon blending into a chorus of voices singing – not hymns, nor praise an...

It is an opportunity where women can share stories and insights from their mission journeys.The 2024 theme wove together stories of how the eyes of the loving Father sees the unseen and the forgotten, and sends a child of...

We’ve been involved in pastoral ministry since we were married 15 years ago. We moved to Bundy four years ago, with Chris taking up a chaplaincy job at a school for disengaged youth. We never thought we’d be able to own a house, but God clearly had other plans, and we were able to purchase a property ...

I happen to think it is a great story; but it is not the story I plan to share right now (come by my house sometime for a cuppa, and I’ll happily tell you!). Rather, I want t...

We heard the reports of missionaries who visited our church and often read stories of missionaries, both real life and fictional. To my young mind, these all seemed to be a huge adventure but became something more after giving my own life to the Lord. As I grew to know Him more, these stories took on a new look for me, as God was becoming much more in the picture of my life. I di...

Destination: St George, QLD. Distance: 525km. Some eight hours later, as they finally rolled into the riverside campsite, the convoy had grown from two to six vehicles, from 17 to 33 travellers.

Answering these questions could take many pages, but we will be brief.I, Jonathan, was raised in a Christian family, and my parents were very keen on mission work. I remember at a young age going to church specifically to hear missionaries give their reports, which I found very interesting. When I was about the age of seven, my family and I went to anot...
