Richard Chin: “God is leading his people to the New Creation, where all things in heaven and on earth will be united in Jesus (Eph 1:10). One new body, one new humanity, one new family—Jew and Gentile—speaking the truth of the gospel in love (Eph 2-4). And one snapshot of this body can be seen on Australian university campuses, where God is joining hundreds of international students into his family by his gospel. The world is coming to our shores. Australia’s onshore international education sector alone is forecast to grow from 650,000 students today to 940,000 by 2025. And they are often hungry for the gospel. But the workers are few. Moore College is strategically placed to train such workers for the harvest in AFES. Will you join us?” Richard Chin is married to Jeanette and the father of 4 young adult children. His late wife (Bronwyn) went to be with the Lord at Easter in 2013. He trained at Moore College and now serves as the National Director of the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES). Based at Wollongong University, he also serves with Jeanette on the AFES staff team that proclaims Christ to both local and international students.
Greg Anderson: “Churches in the Northern Territory need pastors and teachers who are welltrained, resilient and have a sense of adventure. Moore College graduates have come in recent years, but there is room for more. Aboriginal church leaders in particular are requesting people who will stand alongside them and help them as they study the Bible and bring its liberating truths to their communities.”
Richard Condie: “Our Vision for the Diocese of Tasmania is to be a church for Tasmania, making disciples of Jesus. We are praying that the Lord will raise up able, bible-centred gospel workers from within Tasmania and beyond who will join us in equipping disciples to make disciples. The needs are great, and the opportunities are many.”
