At St Paul’s Anglican, we want everyone – both in our local community and abroad – to know Jesus and the real hope that He brings. That’s why we choose to financially support, care and pray for missionaries as they proclaim the gospel of Jesus around the world.

The Lovells teach and administer MOCLAM courses to Christians from churches across Bolivia – in particular, those who are heavily involved in gospel ministry, but have little or no theological training.

Restore Mission
Location: Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea
In Milne Bay, a province on the east coast of Papua New Guinea, Anglican bishops run 600 churches, 256 schools and 29 hospitals. They only have 35 diploma trained ministers to do the work before them – including sharing the gospel and providing essential services to the poorest, most remote people in the province.
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 to study at St Andrew’s Hall in Melbourne so they can grow a formal partnership with CMS. We are also supporting the Bishop of Dogura, Fr Tennyson Bogar, who Angus and Christina serve under.
