Dear Friends,

We want to give a grateful thanks to each of A.C.T.S. Volunteer Evangelists and Partners across Australia for their commitment to working with us for a Christlike Australia.

The Bible explains our interdependence in Christ:

“…for we are fellow workers, you are God’s field, God’s building (I Cor 3:9)

“Christ is our Foundation” (Isaiah 28:14-22; 1 Peter 2:4-12)

“By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise master builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds. For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid which is Jesus Christ” (I Corinthians 10-12)

Please praise Him and pray for the 6 spotlighted below:

Merv & Joie Westbrook’s Darwin Outreach Centre’s 24 hour, 7 days a week hostel ministry to Aboriginal Australia’s sick from Northern Territory, helping with housing, feeding, transporting to hospitals, dialysis units, and back home by car, bus, train and plane.
