Charity of the Spring Quarter -Bush Ministry Fund

The Bush Ministry Fund (BMF) was established in 1998 by our diocese to provide support for struggling parishes and clergy in the western region of our diocese.
When you consider, for instance, that the Maranoa-Warrego Anglican Mission Area (MWAMA) has one member of the clergy (working closely with fantastic lay leadership) covering an approximate area of 30,000 km2 which is the same size as Belgium, and one and a half times larger than the modern State of Israel, one can see the need! The support of BMF enables our diocese to maintain a caring ministry to families who live in towns and on properties in rural and remote areas. Through BMF grants, clergy can visit any property and are available to offer care and spiritual support, not only to Anglicans, but to anybody who seeks assistance in the community. For more information visit https://www.anglicanchurchsq.org.au/bmf
Please help this vital work through donating to our Charity of the Month.

If you are unable to attend Church Services, please contribute by direct transfer into the Caloundra-Glasshouse Country bank account using your personal internet banking.

Charity of the Month Bush Church Aid

Bush Church Aid has a heart for people living in remote and regional Australia, committed to going the distance to reach Australia for Christ.
People living in sparsely populated areas often don’t benefit from strong support networks. Churches in these areas can struggle financially due to fluctuating populations. Ongoing fellowship can be hard to maintain and encouragement can become a rarity.
In partnership with Anglican Dioceses across the country, Bush Church Aid places committed and gifted Christians in a variety of locations to help people connect with the grace of God revealed in Jesus.
Please support our Charity of the Month.

a listening ear and a caring presence for kids in crisis… and those who just
need a friend. All have a passion to improve the lives of young people.
Please support our Charity of the Month.
