The good news of Jesus is for all people. This gospel is continuing to grow in a variety of cultures across the world, yet there are still many who have not heard the gospel of Jesus. It is our privilege to partner with others in gospel ministry both in Australia and overseas, including:
Mackenzies (FIEC – Singleton)
Scott MacKenzie is married to Wendy. They have four children. Scott oversees the church plant: Singleton Evangelical Church, including responsibility for preaching and teaching.
We also partner with other churches as a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches who promote the planting of evangelical churches throughout Australia.
McKees (AIM – Darwin)
Simon and Tirzah McKee with Abby and Sophia serving among Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. Simon works as the Coordinating Chaplain at Darwin Prison. Tirzah teaches at Marrara Christian College. Together they help coordinate the Katherine Christian Convention and provide pastoral care in remote communities as time permits. The McKees were members of MEC for many years and we still consider them part of our MEC family
Gillespies (Wycliffe Assist – Pacific)
Peter and Yvonne Gillespie are National Coordinators of Wycliffe Associates Australia. They coordinate and lead work parties that provide support for Wycliffe, mainly in Pacific Island nations.
Kelly (CMS – France)
MEC has joined with a small group of other churches and CMS to send Kelly to France to disciple women, to help them grow as Christians and to reach their friends and neighbours with the gospel of Jesus.
Gorries (CMS – Kenya)
Norm and Janelle Gorrie are working in North Kenya to train 45 evangelists and lay leaders across the 53 churches in the Diocese of Marsabit. They are also coordinating missions and discipleship, including prison ministry.
Gillhams (Moore College)
Simon and Margie Gillham serve at Moore Theological College, Sydney. Simon helps students consider opportunities for global mission. Previously Simon and Margie were involved in theological education in Namibia (2008-2015), and before that Simon was the founding pastor at MEC.
