Promoting Global Mission
Sing to the Lord, praise His name;
proclaim His salvation day after day.
Declare His Glory among the nations,
His marvelous deeds among all the people.
At Gymea Anglican we support several mission partners, all closely linked to us personally. Each mission field is the focus of our prayers, our communication and our financial support. With some our relationship has spanned decades, with others it is our home grown missionaries we follow with great interest.
Katoke Trust – Overseas Aid
https://www.facebook.com/KatokeTrust/
Founded by one of our church members, Dr Alan Watson, in 1998, the Katoke Trust for Overseas Aid is funding and supporting a sustained, multipronged attack on extreme poverty in the Katoke area of Tanzania. The Trust is a grass-roots Christian organisation that provides aid for people irrespective of their race, colour or religion. Administered and run by a passionate group of volunteers in Sydney, Australia, the Trust projects are cost efficient and delivery- effective with virtually 100% of proceeds going directly to the Trust's projects in Tanzania.

Our church has had the privilege of partnering with E.C.P.N.G for many years. This arose because of the ministry of Alf and Wilma Norman (from our 9.30 Church) who were missionaries in P.N.G for more than 50 years!
