NEXT SABBATH—Mission to the Cities Offering— December 6:

It might surprise you to know that the most challenging mission field in the South Pacific Division is in our major cities, particularly amongst our post-Christian, majority people groups. God loves our cities. The Great Controversy on earth starts in the Garden of Eden but ends in a City – the New Jerusalem. God says to Jonah about that evil city Nineveh, “should I not have pity on that great city”. When Ellen White wrote in 1910 that “the work in the cities is the essential work for this time”, New York city was smaller than Sydney is today. The work in our cities is still our essential work.

We want to thank you for your faithfulness in giving to the Mission to the Cities offering last year. That offering is being used in several projects including the Karla Bidjar First Nations Church Plant in Perth, Flatbush Church Plant in Auckland, New Design Community in Perth, Northern Beaches Church Plant in Sydney, Doncaster Hope Fellowship in Melbourne, the Brisbane Karen Church Plant and many more.

Please pray for our cities, pray for volunteers who will be willing to minister in our cities and pray that this Mission to the Cities offering will continue to help “the essential work of our time”. Thank you.
