Hear what people are saying about Illawarra Missions Day!
"Churches coming together is a far too infrequent event, and what better reason to come together than to be informed, challenged and motivated about world mission? IMD should be a red-letter event on the calendars of the churches of the Illawarra."
"This is a great way to encourage world missions interest in your church. What IMD does for us is do what we would love to do in our own church - have all the mission groups come and fire us up about what God is doing in their part of the world, or ministry. It takes a lot of resources to organise that, and it seems like a hard ask on the missions to do it for one church. At IMD it all happens, and it's for the whole Illawarra! It's a regular part of our church calendar, and we encourage our whole church to go. But this promo comes with a warning - watch out - God may send some of your best people to take the gospel to the millions yet to hear, and that will change your church forever! It will also change the eternal destiny of those they go to."
“It was good rotating around different [workshops] and getting a taste for lots of different mission-related areas… pretty interactive. Keeping them short and varied is perfect for keeping teenagers attention. The evening program was also good. The band did a great job… the videos were good and interesting and again, just give a picture of the varied nature of missions… I think that it is a great program to have for youth groups and youth groups should be really keen to have such a great night all planned out for them.”
