On Sunday 15th October we farewelled Fr Peter and Fiona Tinney at a combined centres from the Bishop service at St Stephens Church in Rutherglen followed by a bring and share lunch. Dear Brothers and Sisters

They were School Board and the School Principal. Before lunch the children dance a breath of fresh air with loads and sing for us. We proceed to photographs. Your bishop is overwhelmed of enthusiasm and commitment as a number of children rush to give hugs. He fears he will take a tumble. to our community. Mr. Farrer is near, with mobile phone in hand.

ASC we educate some 15,000 young people in the context of an Anglican appreciation of the Christian faith. The missional possibilities offered by our schools are almost endless.

It is truly humbling to visit a country where Christianity remains a core commitment. The question in Samoa is not do you go to church but rather with which denomination do you worship? Between 7 and 7.30 each evening in my son-in-law’s village there is curfew to enable folk to say their prayers. It is my hope and my prayer that some at least of our young people may be inspired in their own faith journey by the experience of the centrality of faith in the lives of our Samoan sisters and brothers.

In many communities around Vanuatu, subsistence farming is often the primary means of food production, so any disruption to this growth can be devastating for families.

The Provincial operation team for the Penma province, of which the island of Ambae is part, is currently liaising with local business people on the island to assist with food and water supplies for displaced people. However, the situation is now dire with the whole island to be evacuated.

ABM seeks to raise AU$10,000 and will be working closely with the Anglican Church of Melanesia in Vanuatu, using these funds to ensure essential supplies of food and water are delivered to those in greatest need. Please give a gift at www.abmission.org/donate or phone 1300 302 663.

Fleeing Violence in Myanmar ABM has launched an appeal in support of All Churches Together (ACT) Alliance’s emergency relief efforts to assist the many Rohinya refugees fleeing from the increasingly violent situation in Myanmar.

Fundraising Manager, Michael Begaud said, “We are aiming to raise $20,000 towards the purchase of humanitarian aid supplies. Funding is urgently needed to provide vital medical care, emergency food, clean water, and hygiene and sanitation kits for the victims of this crisis.”

“Please consider donating towards this crisis.
