Overseas Mission All Christians can share in the privilege of extending
the gospel to all people in all countries. Our parish has committed to supporting four particular overseas missions each
year. Currently we support the Anglican Missions Board and give additionally to three following projects. We
will be announcing new projects soon.
Papua New Guinea health project SOMA - Vanuatu
MSALATO THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE Msalato Theological College in the heart of Tanzania, East Africa, is a vital launching pad for full time Christian ministry. Most of the students come from poor families, and fees are a constant struggle. This is your opportunity to provide scholarships for high-quality training for up to six students - men and women - so that they may go out equipped to teach, to preach and to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Parish Funding Target: $3500 Champion: Peter Akester 313 1934
Invitation: The Bishop of Vanuatu has invited us to return to Pentecost in the September/October Holidays to the Island of Pentecost in September 2007. We will go under the auspices of SOMANZ - Sharing of Ministries Abroad NZ. Purpose: To bring spiritual renewal to the church in Pentecost. What will we do: After the success of last years mission I would like to bring a smaller mostly adult team of 5 to focus on training leaders in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and general leadership formation. I can envisage a three day event focused mostly on leaders (lay and clergy) to be held in two different locations (perhaps Attivo and Lolkasae or Loltongwai) to accommodate all the key people from the different districts. We are also considering bring spectacles and investigating water filtration. Dates: At this stage likely dates are 29 September to 8 October. These dates coincide with the school holidays in Vanuatu and fit within our holidays. Team: The team members must be willing to step out in faith, be flexible, have a testimony to share and be able to pray with people. We will need a musician to help lead worship. The team will be lead by the vicar. A team of 5 would be ideal. Pentecost Island: North Pentecost supplies the key leadership for the Anglican diocese and the Government of Vanuatu. Investing in local leaders will be an investment in the whole nations. Costs: Based upon known costs the basic cost for an individual should be around $2500 plus any shopping and vaccinations that may be needed. There will be some assistance from the parish depending upon the amount raised and the leaders costs.
