What is happening at Burnside in October?

1 October  //  Guest ministry  //  Pastor Jeremy Steel

After spending his childhood living in aboriginal communities in the far North-west of South Australia, Jeremy moved to Adelaide to start high school and attended the Christian Family Centre Seaton.  With a strong desire for service and calling, Jeremy was invited to be youth pastor and commenced ministry studies. In 2006, Jeremy and Sonya answered a strong call to the mission field, moving to Port Moresby Papua New Guinea for 10 years with their three children.  Jeremy served as on the pastoral team at Bethel Centre, overseeing the Bible College, and Outreach activities into the inland areas. In 2016, the family relocated to Cairns where their two older boys had already commenced their secondary schooling.  Since that time, Jeremy travels out of Australia into the mission fields working for Pastor Barry Silverback who is the International Missions director with CRC Churches. Jeremy and Sonya are passionate the Lord’s work in the nations. They have three children - James, Benjamin and Alyssa.

8 October  //  Guest ministry  //  Pastora Lorna Lumba (Philippines)

In 2016, a team went for a ministry trip to the Philippines to both Manila and Cebu areas.  Manila, the most densely populated city in the world!  Pastora Lorna pastor’s a Church in Taguig City.  Taguig City has over 800,000 residents.  They have an amazing story of God’s provision and ministry, especially amongst children, youth and young adults.Lorna is visiting Australia with her daughter Raine and while in Adelaide, they are staying with Ben & Bec.   And needless to say there will be a team reunion at some stage!

24-29 October  //  Guest ministry  //  Pastor Rob & Liz Bailey

Take a moment and reflect on the number of times someone has encouraged you.  We all need to be encouraged and it is up to us to accept it.  God clearly uses people to speak His purposes, to encourage us in our faith in Him, and to be open to new possibilities and directions in life.
Pastor Rob and Liz Bailey through their God given ministry gifts are a proven and experienced couple to facilitate a week of ministry with us.  We were blessed with the Bailey’s being with us in March 2016 and we look forward to this coming October.  The plan for the week is:
