From the CFO

It is a new decade! As we close the chapter on 2019 and embark on 2020, it’s good to reflect on the year and decade that was.

Think of where you were in 2010 and compare that to where you are today. Are you surprised, shocked or amazed as to how God has led you in the past 10 years?

For me personally, I could not have imagined God’s plan for me. Back then I was working in a senior role at a secular higher educational institution. I had no idea that God would call me to my current role at the Conference in 3 years. The experiences we’ve had as a conference during the last 10 years has been truly amazing. God has led us through thick and thin.

Here are some of the things that have happened during the decade:

• Completion of school halls at Hills, Auburn, Macarthur and Mountain View schools.

• New churches and companies started so that we are now around 100 entities!

• New church buildings or significant renovations at the Sydney Tongan Church, Campbelltown Church, Sydney Korean Church, Dundas Croatian Church and Kellyville Church.

• Major renovations to Esther Somerville and Aged Care at Wahroonga and new facilities at Kings Langley nearing completion.

• Purchase of new properties in Redfern and Lilyfield. • New Mission to the Cities and Global Mission church plants/revitalisation at The Way, Echo Community, Northern Beaches, Camden Valley and Parramatta Central in addition to cultural group (Indian Church plants and Eastwood Chinese).

There are times that when we get discouraged and feel that we’re not achieving results, or that we have not been blessed us. It is times like these that it is important to reflect objectively and recognise that this is patently untrue. Our efforts have not been in vain. We serve an almighty God who makes all things possible.
