A Lasting Difference
We praise God for all who partner with us in mission . Today we particularly honour Francis Mawby , Noel Allwood , Les Merrin , and Geoffrey and Jessie Blackburn - all faithful followers of Jesus who have passed away and left a gift in their Will for Baptist Mission Australia . Their generous contributions will invest in ongoing Kingdom work .
Francis went to New Guinea in 1963 with Baptist Mission Australia to support local communities . He faithfully supported Baptist Mission Australia from that point .
Noel ’ s late wife Doreen served in Papua New Guinea for 11 years with Baptist Mission Australia . Noel has been involved in many ministries , most recently at Maroubra Aged Care .
Les and Val spent much of their life in service for the Baptist church . They served God both here , and in Thailand . Les was always learning and spending time with his Heavenly Father .
Jessie and Geoffrey visited many of the locations intercultural team members serve in and were a loving presence on their trips . They continued their faithful partnership in mission all their lives .
