Hillview church in Morisset, NSW, has been actively addressing the Church Growth Crisis in Papua New Guinea (PNG) through significant financial support and community initiatives.
After four church members—Pastor Calvyn Townend, Pastor Sven Ostring, and Praveen and Sharmila Saggurthi—witnessed the urgent needs in PNG during the PNG For Christ campaign, the church is aiming to raise $A24,000 to provide Bibles and build infrastructure.
Committed to the goal, the church has already raised $A7200 through eGiving and hosted a fundraising talent evening on June 28, which brought in more than $A3000 through the sale of desserts. The total amount raised from the talent night will be included in the overall fundraising efforts. The event featured diverse performances, including cultural dances, musical acts, and a martial arts display.
“This event not only raised significant funds but also strengthened the bonds among members, ensuring ongoing support for their mission and for those in need,” said church member Mary Fedorow.
