It has been exciting to have a section of the Church of Christ Q’ld Campus on Ronan Street, Vincent, Townsville made available for the development of a Ministry Centre in Townsville.

T’ville has a large and growing Indigenous population. The city draws people to Medical Services, Education, University, employment, Defence Base, Correctional Centre, accommodation and support services to the vast area of Far Nth Q’ld and the N.T. A Christian ministry and support to the short and long term remote area and resident Indigenous people is needed.

A Torres Strait Island Fellowship Group uses the newly created Meeting Area for their meetings. Others groups have enquired. We thank George Radford (Mareeba) and his work team for this transformation.

A local Aboriginal Cultural Mentor, Elder Alfred Smallwood uses a section of the building and the private Barbeque outdoor area for the ‘Uncle Alfred’s Men’s Group on week days. Counselling, support, and ‘a place to go’ is bringing changes for guys who are struggling with life issues.

Pray for us as we seek God’s guidance in serving Him and the people of Eidsvold.

Pray also that the “good news” of Jesus will become living truth in the lives of men, women and children.

Kevin is from the Aboriginal Bundjalung Nation whose traditional area is the N/E Coastal region of NSW. Kevin grew up in Fingal Community and was nurtured by his Christian mother. He clearly remembers as a 12 year old being challenged by the message of an evangelist and receiving God’s gift of salvation. In his teenage years he turned his focus from God’s way. When 30, he was challenged to really live God’s way and serve Him. Kevin has been involved in Christian Outreach in outback NSW & Queensland & ministering at Fingal. He and his wife Julie nurtured four gifted sons and a daughter.

What a joy for them now that their five kids, (4 with their marriage partners) are actively involved in Christian leadership and ministry to aboriginal people at the Fingal Fellowship, YWAM, Kalgoorlie W.A., and N/W NSW and beyond.

Kevin was able to do training in evangelism at the Haggai Institute in Hawaii.

After rearing the children Julie did training for several years. She specialized in Health Science and her work focus being with Aboriginal Health, and Health Education Programmes.

They have been able to take the Aboriginal Christian Leaders Training Course with the Wontulp College (externally from Cairns). Kevin continues studying to do a Diploma of Theology Course in 2009.
