Jesus said to go into all the world, and even though we are a young church we have decided to act on that command.
We have chosen to support ministries, missionaries and organisations from all over the globe whom we have relationship with.
Saul & Rebecca Thurrowgood
Saul and Rebecca Thurrowgood got married in 2008. They have 3 children, Leia, Zoe and Emily. Saul has worked in science for a long time and had no reason to believe in anything spiritual until a student at his workplace told him about Christianity and offered to buy him a Bible—surprisingly he accepted. He has 13 years of experience working in computer vision research.
Rebecca is a Child Of Deaf Adult (CODA). She has worked as an Auslan Language Model/Teacher’s Assistant for 8 years with primary school children in a Bilingual/Bicultural program. Rebecca also has extensive experience as a paraprofessional interpreter. Saul and Rebecca have felt God’s calling to be involved with the Deaf in Christian ministry and to contribute to the work of translating Bibles into sign language for the Deaf around the world.

Kathy Dadd
Kathy is passionate about people having access to God’s Word and is saddened that so many Indigenous Australians still don’t have the Scriptures in a language they easily understand. God has given Kathy a love of languages and she has now completed her linguistic and theological studies.
Kathy will live in the Northern Territory to serve Indigenous Australians through Bible translation. She will be working on the translation of the Plain English Version (PEV), supporting Aboriginal Bible translators and training to be a translation consultant. The PEV is an English translation of the Bible designed for people who speak an Aboriginal language as their mother-tongue. It is used by those who do not yet have the Scriptures in their own language, or who meet with Christians from other language groups. In order to support the Aboriginal translators, Kathy will spend some time living in a community, learning an Aboriginal language.
Please be praying for wisdom and that God will prepare a team of Indigenous Christians for her to serve alongside.
