FOI INTERNATIONAL STAFF CONFERENCE

26 June

Written By The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry (Australia)

In May our team, together with our wives, travelled to the US for the FOI International Staff Conference held at Sandy Cove Ministries Centre in Maryland just outside Philadelphia. There we met our colleagues from across the globe, many whom we hadn't seen in six years since the last conference, and many having joined the mission since that time. The theme of the conference was "All Our Heart" and challenged us to continue what the Lord has called us to personally and as a mission. It is with firm convictions from whole hearts that our team in Australia and New Zealand continues to proclaim biblical truth about Israel & The Messiah and bring comfort to Jewish people at every opportunity.

**SUPPORT RAISING TRAINING**

In the days just prior to our staff conference the International Ministries team received training to raise personal support as we shift to a funding model like most other mission organisations. Currently our staff support is largely from US donations with a smaller portion from Australian support received here. We trust the Lord to provide for our ministry team and are committed with all our hearts to the mission He has called us to.

And we especially offer thanks for those who regularly and faithfully give and pray for our work already. Will you join us as we prayerfully seek the Lord to increase our financial partnerships with those led by the Lord who with all their hearts would be willing to share in our mission here in Australia?

Finally, if you would like to either give for the first time, increase your giving or find out more ways to give, especially to help support our Ministry Representatives in each State, then please contact our Adelaide office or go online to our giving page www.foiaustralia.org/give
