Why we chose mission

We served for many years in suburban churches in Sydney and, over time, became more involved with people from other cultures and languages. After attending a succession of CMS Summer Schools, we both felt that God was calling us to work cross-culturally full time. We spoke to CMS about cross-cultural gospel work, and surprisingly, the result was teaching Indigenous Christians at Nungalinya College in the Northern Territory.

Equipping students to serve

Indigenous Christians in the Top End live in small, remote fellowships, with very few resources and are a long way from help. At Nungalinya College we run short courses where believers from the remote communities can come to learn from the Bible, improve their literacy and develop ministry skills that will enable them to serve in their own communities.

We work with people at various stages of their Christian life, from a very basic awareness of Bible stories to experienced Christian leaders within their own communities. We try to help everyone to move further along in their understanding and Christian growth.

Will you partner with us?

Only God changes people’s hearts. We really want people to pray for us and for our students, that God would grow and develop their understanding of his gospel and strengthen his church among Indigenous Australians. Committing to praying for us and supporting us financially will enable us to keep serving God’s people in this way.
