CMS in Tasmania
and around the world
This beautiful spring season reminds us that summer is
just around the corner - and so is SUMMERVIEW, our CMS
summer conference at Port Sorell, 22-26 January 2007.
You can enjoy a holiday with the bonus of Bible studies,
learn about world-wide mission, consider current issues
confronting us in our society, meet new and old friends and
join millions around the world to pray for the extension of
God's kingdom. Children's and teens' programs are provided
and the beach is just across the road! Look for a brochure
at your church.
Nepal is a beautiful, mountainous country which
has recently been through huge changes in the political
arena, changes which make it important for Christians to
play their part in praying, and maybe even going to work
alongside the Nepalese to provide a Christian witness. John
and Margaret Cannell have recently returned to Tasmania and
will be visiting churches. Be sure to hear first hand about
the joys and challenges of life and work there from two
people who have given six years of their lives to being
God's people in a foreign land.
Interest in, and knowledge of, Islam has recently
been stimulated through Bishop
John's seminars around the State. As you read this
article, the Muslim month of prayer and fasting,
Ramadan/Ramzan, will be underway. It is a humbling reminder
to us, as Christians, that we too need to pray.
Pray for Muslims everywhere, pray for Christians living
in a Muslim culture where life can be difficult.
Pray for those CMS partners who are working with Muslims
in various ways and places that their lives, their work and
quiet witness may attract people to Jesus.
Pray for wisdom for CMS as it plans to increase its
outreach to Muslim countries.
