Offering Hope – Sharing Jesus

A message from our pastor, Grant Morrison

This month our focus will be on missions: Local, Australian and Overseas mission. May mission month is a yearly focus and a great reminder of some of what is happening around the world to impact people across the globe with the good news of Jesus Christ.

As a church we have our group of missionaries whom we support both financially and in prayer not just in May but throughout the year. May is the month where we provide something additional for them but also look wider to see what support we might be able to provide.

I’m writing this from Honiara the capital city of the Solomon Islands. My connection to the Solomon’s means I am often thinking of needs that we in a developed country might extend to nations in poverty. While there is great need here for things like basic medicine, clean drinking water, education, meaningful employment and much more I love the passion that is expressed by those who follow Jesus.

Our “developed” nation of Australia has so much and all the things we have often get in the way of a simple faith. In countries, like the Solomon Islands where basic needs aren’t met there is genuine faith in God to seek his help. Many people do claim the promise of God that he will provide for their need as they exist in extreme poverty yet with much joy.

This May I urge you to lift your eyes and hearts to God afresh, give heartfelt thanks that we live in a wonderful country, ask God what else you might be able to do to support missionaries and pray.

 Blessings,

Grant
