Meet Some of the Missionary Familes

The Rowe family, FUSION Tasmania

 

Working with FUSION they support youth and families to succeed through programs, days away, mentoring, and accommodation. Their vegetable gardens are an important resource for the local communities, especially as the Dept of Health releases figures that outline that only 10% of Tasmanians regularly eat enough fruit and vegetables on a weekly basis.

 

 

“… we’re excited to be starting this new initiative with a new generation of young people. While technology is serving our teens in ways we could never have dreamt of, it’s also taking them away from engaging with the world around them. This [initiative] is about restoring the balance.”

The Missions Committee seeks to maintain a high-level of mission focus for the Church of St Andrew by encouraging ongoing prayer, interest and financial support for the missionaries and outreach activities of the church.
