Rochelle Wainwright

Westmead, Sydney

Ministry

Hospital chaplaincy

With

Jericho Road

Rochelle is a chaplain at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, in western Sydney. She came to the role through nursing, then Bible college and eight years in school ministry. Chaplaincy is about being present with people as the “God person”: sitting with families in the hardest of times, listening to their pain and their story, and sharing the comfort, strength and hope that God provides, when families are open to this. In NSW the government supports chaplaincy roles like hers, recognising the good chaplains do in hospitals.

Pray for

• Rochelle as she sits with families in fear, grief and shock: for compassion, wisdom and the right words at the right moment.
• The Bible resources she leaves with parents, that they would be picked up again once the shock has passed and bring God’s comfort when her words have been forgotten.
• Her own strength and refreshment, as she carries other people’s hardest days week after week.

Andrew and Michelle Blumer

Vienna, Austria

Ministry

Cross-cultural mission

With

Pioneers

Andrew and Michelle serve in a local church in Vienna, Austria, where they are involved in leading and teaching. Vienna is a city of many languages and backgrounds, Catholic by heritage more than by belief, and churches that teach the Bible are a small but growing minority.

Pray for

• The church in Vienna to grow in numbers and in the knowledge of God.
• Andrew and Michelle as they lead and teach, for wisdom, energy and encouragement.

John and Denise Dickson

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Ministry

Cross-cultural mission

With

Pioneers

John and Denise work to see local Thai gospel communities established, built up and multiplying on the foundation of God's word in Northern Thailand. Their main focus is building up the core ministry team of a new house church, ArunNakhon, so that sound gospel communities flourish throughout Chiang Mai and more Thais are drawn to Christ.

Pray for

• The growth of ArunNakhon Church and its core team, "Team Titus".
• Wisdom as they serve Thailand while missing James, Mimi and Sean, now working or studying in Sydney.
• Denise, who needs to return to Australia more often to care for ageing parents.
