Clayfield Renovation – Veranda
The Queensland Conference have progressed to the final stage of their current renovation project. The veranda was badly in need of repair. It was felt that these repairs should be done before any new programs were planned for the public to attend. As well as getting new posts, floor framing and decking, the front of the house is being restored to heritage look, as it was when it was originally built. After a delay of several months, the project was…

Adelaide Building Project
Through the generosity of one of our members, a small residence is being built next to our church in Somerton Park (Adelaide), South Australia. It was the desire of one of our sisters in Christ to give back to the Lord what He had given to her. In consultation with the local church, she decided to enter into an agreement that would see a unit being constructed for her next to the church, which would be used by her and…

Pacific Islands Leaders Meetings – Port Vila, Vanuatu
The Word of God is clear that the Gospel will be preached in all nations before the second coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven. It is of interest that the work of God in the island regions gets a special mention in Isaiah. 42:10-12 “Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants…

Fly-n-Build Vanuatu Project Update
All I could hear was my heart thumping The emotions of several months were finally coming to an end. The culmination of planning and phone calls was finally coming to a landing on the small runway of Malekula Island. I had been here one time before in preparation of the Church building program. I had walked its dusty road and met with the committed church members. But nothing had gripped me until this moment. Now was the appointed time; the…

Fly and Build Project – Vanuatu (Update from the AUC YPD)
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Matt. 28:19. Many times I ask myself if it is worth investing and spending a lot of money to do missionary work in the islands. I know that this money could be spent here, locally… but while reading the book “Faith I Live By” I came across THE answer. “Christ gave His disciples their commission. He…

Having already organised as the Maranatha Church, they recently purchased a block of land on which to build. The land is in a prime location, just off the Hume Freeway north of Melbourne. By God’s grace most of the money to purchase the property was raised in local donations, and a loan was taken for the remainder. The church…
