Our Members in Service

Members of our church are serving in organisations and communities all over the world, sharing the love and hope of Jesus with those around them.
Below are those whom we call 'Members in Service'. As a church, we financially and prayerfully support them in their ministry.

M+K in South Asia

M and K, with their children, S and T, are building great connections as they build their life in a town in South Asia. M works as a water engineer in a local development project, and both he and K are undertaking language studies to grow fluent in the local dialect.

Less than 2% of the population of this south Asian nation know Jesus, and the vast majority of the population have little to no access to the gospel.
M and K are passionate about about building relationships with their neighbours and colleagues and looking for opportunities to share the good news of Jesus.

Ross Jones

Bible Translator and Church Planter, SIM

Ross left Australia in 1968 to serve with SIM in Benin Republic, translating the Bible for the Boko people. The Bible translation took 20 years to complete. At the same time, Ross was evangelizing, planting churches and starting a Boko Bible school, and running a medical clinic in his spare time. The church is now 5000 strong with churches in nearly all their towns and villages. Ross and his wife came home to Australia in 1985 so that their 4 sons could get an Australian education. Ross would go to Africa each year for about 3 months to continue work over there. He adapted parts of the Boko Bible into 5 related languages in Nigeria and also compiled dictionaries in all 6 languages.

Ross retired from SIM in 2008, not long before his wife, Joy, died, but has continued to work in Benin and Nigeria as an SIM retiree. He is now referred to as a ROYALL, a 'Retiree On Yet Another Labour of Love'.
