Most people in Taiwan worship gods and ancestors as part of their daily life, and even more participate in annual festivals of worship such as the Mazu pilgrimage and Ghost Month. Lachlan and Candy are part of a team that encourages and equips local believers and pastors for evangelism in this highly spiritual context.

Equipping God's People
Restore Mission
Location: Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea
In Milne Bay, a province on the east coast of Papua New Guinea, Anglican, United and Congregational bishops run 600 churches, 256 schools and 29 hospitals. They only have 45 ministers trained to the level of Diploma to run the mission stations and teach the word to the poorest and many of the most remote people in PNG. Angus and Christina are working with the local branch of Restore led by retired local Bishops from all three denominations. The key areas Restore is working on is theological education, logistics, networking churches in fellowship and providing specialist advice. Together they are building Restore Christian College and providing logistics to the mission stations in the form of a 20m schooner.
St Paul’s Anglican is partnering with Restore Mission, a ministry set up to support these churches and the vital work they do in PNG. We are financially supporting missionaries Angus and Christina Skeoch.
Moore Theological College has been providing in-depth theological training to prepare men and women for Christian ministry and mission since 1856. The college’s vision is evangelical and international, training gospel workers in multiple denominations and various locations.
St Paul’s is proud to partner with Moore Theological College prayerfully and financially. Over the years we have sought to promote and benefit from Moore’s ministries and resources, such as PTC (the preliminary theological certificate) and the college’s Centre for Christian Living events. As a church, we also take an active role in training students of the college as student ministers. Our Senior Minister also assists at the college’s Centre for Ministry Development: an arm that provides leadership development of pastors and churches.
We also partner with the college in equipping men and women for ministry is by sending people to be trained there. Some may study a diploma for one year full-time (or part-time equivalent) simply to know God better and to be better equipped for serving in church. Others will spend three or four years studying a degree full-time to be equipped for vocational Christian ministry down the track.
For more information, please visit the Moore College website.
