TEAM
Apart from being involved in door knocking, ESL class, playgroup and High School scripture, we also had the opportunity to participate in different kinds of events. St Phil’s Caringbah hosted a mobile food pantry—a fortnightly event run by Anglicare that provides those on welfare assistance groceries at reduced prices. Cronulla hosted Colin Buchanan, which saw families from the community come for a sing. The big-ticket Friday night event was ‘Free to Be’ at the WIN Entertainment Centre. This was an amazing opportunity to partner with churches in Wollongong. We were able to help by working in logistics and chatting to youth who were interested in Christianity. Thank God for the four churches— Caringbah, Miranda, Cronulla and Kurnell—that have welcomed our team to partner with them.
Wollongong
One thing that astounded our team this week was seeing and hearing about the many different gatherings that are happening all around the Wollongong region. So great is God’s work, that even when our entire college comes to support the work that is already going on in this region, we still don’t have enough people to cover all the churches or events. It helped remind me just how big our world is, how small I am, but also how big our God is. For right across the region, God is gathering his people, introducing them to Jesus, and transforming them by His Spirit. We thank God for the opportunities received by the team to glorify Him, and pray for fruit to come from the conversations and events held.
TEAM
Macarthur
Our team had the privilege of observing the gospel partnership between St Peter’s Anglican Church Campbelltown and Macarthur Indigenous Church, which began in 2011. Together these churches share land, some support structures, and a love for the Lord Jesus. At different points in the week each pastor shared with our team about the joys and the struggles of working together. These pastors, these Church congregations, share more than just property. They share a deep love for the Lord Jesus and a desire to do his work. Without humility, respect, and a love for the lost, this partnership would never have started, nor will it persevere. Praise God for the amazing work He is doing in Campbelltown.
