Last night an appreciative room full of people were privileged to hear about the Presbyterian Church of Australia’s progress in covering inland and remote Australia with a mantle of Gospel friendship and proclamation.
Here’s a few photos.
Superintendent Stuart Bonnington using his well-worm map to inform us of current deployments and future plans for patrols and churches.
Margaret and Roger Crane of Queensland spoke on behalf of the patrol workers, providing a few stories and photos which contrasted the beauty and character of the outback with the great and continuing human need which they encounter in those regions.
Rob Duncanson (pastor of Darwin PC and convener, PIM, left), told us about the planting of a third congregation in the Darwin region, and encouraged us with the testimony of the growing commitment to corporate prayer. Rob also outlined some of the occasions which marked the centenary of the PIM during 2012, including meetings in Scots Church, Melbourne and the Smith of Dunesk Mission Church building at Beltana, SA.
Robert Benn (living legend, right) introduced a DVD production of a photo illustrated narrative biography of John Flynn which he composed and presented a number of times to appreciative audiences during the PIM centenary in 2012. The DVD is currently available for purchase.
Keith Bell spoke of he and his wife Jenny’s excitement in moving to Alice Springs to plant a new mission church in that town.
I have brief grab of video of Keith which I’ll load up sometime when I have a decent connection.
