Below are some updates on our three key mission partner countries.
St Columba @ Botany in Auckland is coordinating our engagement with Myanmar. You can find more information on the Myanmar page or on the St Columba @ Botany website. The Rev Andrew Norton and his daughter Angela have both recently lead trips to the country and are keen to develop real relationships that change lives in both countries. If you are interested in finding out more about Myanmar or sense a call to involvement, please get in touch with them. You can also sign up to receive a regular email about the work in Myanmar.
We’re hoping to be able to announce soon other parishes who have agreed to be the channel of contact with other mission partners overseas. Watch this space!
Ken and Jenny Williams are in their second and final year of service at Talua Ministry Training Centre. You can read more about their role in the forthcoming June issue of Spanz; they are looking for someone to continue their work next year.
Talua also needs support to employ an assistant librarian. Is your church or presbytery interested in funding this key educational work? Get in touch with Ken at kenjenwilliams@gmail.com.
We celebrated this historic relationship in 2008 and the Friends of Jagadhri continue to maintain their connections and make a valued contribution to this work. More on this work next month.
Donations for our overseas projects and partners can be sent to Global Mission at Assembly Office, PO Box 9049, Wellington 6141 or email brendan@presbyterian.org.nz for information on other ways to give. Part of Chris’ transition coordination role is to ensure your gift reaches the right people in the right place as per your instructions.
