Greetings from Numbulwar

Josh and Steph Mackenzie recently visited Holy Trinity, South East Bendigo during their home assignment. They are missionaries with the Church Missionary Society in Numbulwar, Northern Territory. Here is a description of their ministry:

‘The Northern Territory is vast with a range of cultures and serving as an Aboriginal church leader is often tiring and isolating. For Aboriginal Christian leaders, setting themselves apart for the gospel in cultures that have deep spiritual beliefs can be lonely. However, the church in Numbulwar is vibrant and active, and the people of Numbulwar have a strong connection with the church. By sending us to live alongside them, to offer friendship and support, Aboriginal church leaders know they are not alone and are encouraged to keep loving and serving their communities with the good news of Jesus.’

The visit was an opportunity for the congregation to give thanks for the blessings of their ministry and to encourage and pray for them as they prepared to return to Numbulwar.
