Superintendent
Minister’s Message
Like the people of old we are called to be able to see
through the present difficulties and provide, in word
and deed, a message of hope and encouragement.
Long ago God said to the people: “I am
creating something new. Watch for the new
thing I am going to do. It is happening already.
There it is! Do you see it? I have put roads in
deserts, streams in thirsty lands.” (Isaiah 43)
The time when Isaiah was given this message from
God was a challenging time for the people, and the
promises from God came as a word of hope for the
future. Wesley Mission Brisbane, too, serves the
community in challenging times. Like the people
of old we are called to be able to see through
the present difficulties and provide, in word and
deed, a message of hope and encouragement.
As you read the reports for this year I am sure that
this is what you will find. Month by month, I see within
Wesley Mission Brisbane new things happening:
new opportunities for services to be delivered,
new buildings, new staff who bring valuable skills to the
organisation, new ways of thinking and new technology.
All signs of hope and of God at work among us.
At the time of Isaiah it seemed impossible to
the people that circumstances could change for
the better. But they did! The task for the ancient
peoples was to continue to live in hope and with
faithfulness. Today it is no different. As we walk
alongside people whose lives reflect difficult
circumstances, we do so with integrity and hope,
expecting all things to be transformed and renewed.
