    Our Guest Speakers Today . . .


    Wayne & Belinda Tilley are migrant missionaries from Zimbabwe now on team with Campus Crusade for Christ Australia working in the field ministry of FamilyLife Australia. Wayne's difficult journey through divorce then the loss of being widowed, has been a road to discovering the difference God makes to a marriage. Belinda, single and pure until her marriage to Wayne, has enjoyed the blessing of marriage done Gods way. With a blended family of three they know firsthand the pain of broken families and the impact this can have on our children. Belinda and Wayne are passionate about seeing Biblically based marriage enrichment as the key to saving thousands of marriages and strengthening churches to be mature communities with a strong witness in our cities. They are also convinced that through this felt need of marriage and family many unchurched Australians can be reached for Christ, their marriages saved and their children rescued from the impact of a broken family life. They have a strong message that is illustrated by their own experiences and biblical truths. With a strong background in creative media to complement her life experience Belinda is ideally suited to enhancing the current capacity of the FamilyLife team right now. Greg Smith National Director of FamilyLife: Belinda brings skills to the team we have been praying for over the past 10 years. The need is urgent. The timing is now. We need Belinda on team, to increase her hours and to eventually get Wayne on board too. This couple greatly enhances our teams capacity to impact our nation. FamilyLife Australia works with local churches in providing marriage conferences and short courses, producing national radio broadcasts, and free podcasts. They are increasingly involved in social networking media and online provision of other resources designed to stimulate strong, healthy marriagesthe foundations of strong, growing families, healthy communities and a better nation. Belinda and Wayne will be sharing their story and their need to grow their team of supporting friends across Australia, offering an opportunity for others to also be pro-active in seeing Australian marriages and families rescued as they find the one who is Love.

    Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Col. 4:2

    Debbies Mission Trip to Ethiopia


    Debbie Oakley will be visiting Ethiopia in early November as part of a group organised by Beyond Subsistence (an initiative of Jon Lambert) and Leadership Journeys. Leadership Journey is deliberately designed to challenge participants and assist them to deal with what they witness and experience. This helps build leadership behaviour and skills through self awareness, perspective, resilience and the development of a world view. Debbie is the leader of our Missionary Support Group and this will further equip her as she leads that group. The cost of the trip will be $4,700. Debbie has been busy raising funds for her trip and the church will be making a contribution to her costs, while the proceeds of Airing of the Quilts will also be directed to Debbie. We would also encourage individuals to make contributions to her expenses. We are looking forward to hearing Debbie share her experiences when she returns.
