MISSION
Loving, living and revealing Jesus beyond the Georges River…
MAY MISSION MONTH
SUNSHINE HOSTEL & LEBC
The Sunshine Hostel, run by the the Lahu Evangelical Baptist Convention (LEBC), provides the opportunity for ethnic minority Lahu children from remote villages to live in Chiang Mai and receive a better education. GRLC partners with the LECB to support the hostel and secure a better future for the Lahu.
GUS & AUDREY CHAN – TAIWAN
Less than 1% of Taiwan’s 15 million working class people know Jesus and most working-class and marginalised people do not easily fit into existing churches. Audrey and Gus partner with local Christians and hope to see reproducing communities of disciples among marginalised women and rural working class people.
MUANA & VILLY – THAILAND
Muana and Villy in northern Thailand are supported through Global Interaction Australia / Baptist Mission Australia. They focus on building relationships with their local community through participating in community events, having an open house and sharing their lives with the local people.
HIGH SCHOOL SCRIPTURE
OPEN DOORS
An organisation whose mission is to strengthen and prepare Christians throughout the world who are living in persecution, and to mobilise the Australian church to identify with the global body of Christ. Our focus on giving to Open Doors is during our Easter gatherings each year.
SHORT TERM TEAMS
Our commitment to our international partners is not simply financial. Despite the advantages of modern communication there is still no substitute for sharing food and personal experiences. Our aim is to provide opportunities for our people to visit our partners and gain a greater insight into their environment and the important work that they do.
ZOE
ZOE Thailand works in the prevention, rescue and rehabilitation of children affected by child trafficking. They work in collaboration with, and are highly respected by, the local Thai authorities. Supporting the work of ZOE provides benefits which extend beyond rescued children, as they are committed to awareness raising, training and eliminating vulnerability.
BAPTIST WORLD AID
An organisation working towards a world where poverty has ended and all people enjoy the fullness of life that God intended.
