Our vision is to take the kingdom message of Jesus to the nations, and partner with those on the front line. KingdomCome raise the bar on the traditional 'May mission month". When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He said to pray that God's Kingdom would come on earth as it is in heaven. If we are called to a life of mission, then we are called to invite God's Kingdom to come in every corner of the earth, locally and globally.

Making a stand to show God's love to unreached people groups in Nigeria. Last year we are started supporting a mission outpost team in Gombe State, Nigeria. We have been partnering with CFM in praying for and helping fund this new mission post, including support for 2 workers and the purchase of motor bikes for them to carry out their work. This year CFM have asked us to extend our support to a third missionary in Gombe State, Nigeria and continue to support the mission outpost in Gombe.

Making a stand in the prisons of Fiji and the Pacific. You have been supporting Peter and Jill Schultz since we first started as a church, when they had access to only one prison in Fiji. They now reach nine prisons and have just been given access to the final four prisons in Fiji. Operation Foundation has also been invited to the Solomon Island and Papua New Guinea, to introduce the program to the prison rehabilitation providers. We have been asked to help support them as they expand into these new prisons in Fiji and for travel expenses to visit the Solomon Islands and PNG.

Making a stand to rescue, restore and empower children. We continue to support the Promise Home which is located on the outskirts of a bustling city in Northern Thailand, surrounded by beautiful mountains and lush rice fields. The girls in this home have all their practical and educational needs met by the Destiny Rescue staff, while receiving the love and support they need to heal from their past.

Making a stand for children and communities living in poverty. Since Lakes began, we have been partnering with three churches in West Timor that host Compassion Projects. Many of you have made sacrifices to sponsor children in one of these three projects.
In July 2019, we are sending a team to West Timor to personally meet their sponsor children, and to encourage the local church that partners with the Compassion projects. |

HIGH SCHOOLSCRIPTURE |
Special Religious Education (SRE) plays a vital role in the holistic education of children, helping them form personal moral and ethical frameworks and nurturing their faith while at school. This year we continue to support Sara Cooper at Warners Bay High and out own Andrew Warner, teaching at Cardiff High School.

Making a stand for those searching for hope in our local community. Hope Newcastle Inc is new to New Vine Lakes and KingdomCome this year. This is the new name of our community outreach programs. Through programs like Depression and Hope and soon to start Separation and Hope we aim to inspire our community towards Hope in Jesus.

HOPE NEWCASTLE INC. |
|
New Vine Lakes is committed to making a stand with our four missions overseas and two locally. This allows each of the missions to bring the message of God without charge to those they are reaching. We ask you to give over and above your tithe to the church, to support our partners on the front-line of mission work. Your financial gift makes it possible for the Kingdom to extend into places that have never received the gospel of Jesus.

We take Compassion teams every two years to Kupang, West Timor. Teams visit the three communities we partner with. The goal of the trip is to invest relationally with each of the church partners and their children. Teams are able to meet children they are in relationship with through Compassion sponsorship. This is an excellent opportunity to grow with a heart for mission and God's kingdom, both with our close Indonesian neighbours and back at home in Australia.
Our next team goes in 2019. |
