Overseas & Northern Outreach Coordinator – Wendy Mabey

Each year our President invites the bishops of the three dioceses to submit funding requests for projects which align with the AMUA aims and objectives. As mentioned in the last O & NO newsletter, in the past five years Australia Council members have been asked to allocate close to $190,000, which has been granted as follows:


North Queensland $55,250


Northern Territory $78,536


North West Australia $55,382


Over these years, projects funded have included, in North Queensland, travel and accommodation costs for executive members to support gatherings in the Torres Strait and Cape York, and training for members in these areas and for first nations communities, including a parenting program. We have also supported the purchase of Bibles and other resources for graduating students of Bible college.


In the Northern Territory, our funds have supported the delivery of Safe Ministry Training, Domestic and Family Violence Training, and Children’s Ministry Training, as well as a transitional housing project, and travel costs for a Bible translation workshop and for the Katherine Christian Convention. We have also provided funds to assist with the support of church workers engaged in formal study and the training of diocesan staff.


In North West Australia, every two years we provide funds to support the diocese’s Fellow Workers Conference. We have also supported the purchase of solar powered audio bibles


  • for indigenous Christians, supported the costs of a Christian Women’s Conference, travel for the Bishop’s wife and the attendance at camps of the children of ministry families.
