Our
Aim? To promote the cause of God's mission
to the world among Christians of Newcastle
and the wider Hunter region
Why?
Because God loved the world so much he... Because the love of
Christ compels us... Because there is only one God... Because
judgement is certain and hell is real... Because God does not desire
that anyone perish... Because Jesus commands us... Because the Lord
is worth of all praise, worship and honour... and Because there is still a world full of people
among the nations who have not
put their faith in Jesus.
Hunter-M-Link was formed by Lindsay
Mason, Cathy Pope,
and Ross and Lyndal Webb after
doing the first Hunter-based
Perspectives
on the World Christian Movement course together in 2001.
The original conception was to provide a forum for mission coordinators
in local churches to meet together to share ideas for promoting world
mission to their respective congregations.
The first meeting was held in August 2001 with people from 9 churches. Each
church delegate shared various ideas for promoting mission they had tried with their congregations. The
result was a report that will be of interest to any mission promoter at
the congregational level. Click here to

Each church also filled in a questionnaire that was aimed at gathering
data on all the missionaries and mission agencies supported through local
churches in the Hunter region. Our aim is to compile a database that will
hopefully allow us in the future to, for instance, coordinate prayer
meetings centred around a particular missionary, country, or agency.

committee would love to receive your input.
