Georgia: Teen Challenge

Ps Doug and Anna Boyle

project 2

Doug and Anna have been ACC Missionaries in Central Asia since 1991.  

Together they established the first Christian Drug Rehab in the Soviet Union in 1995, Teen Challenge Kazakhstan, and the following year they established the Assemblies of God in Kazakhstan. Through these two ministries up to 80 churches have been planted from Israel to Western China!

In 2010, they moved to Georgia and since then they have planted a church and built a Teen Challenge Centre in Tbilisi. They have sent graduates from the Tbilisi Church and Rehab into Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran and Turkey and they are presently building a Leadership Training Centre in Batumi on the Turkish border to multiply that effect by sending more missionaries to the adjacent countries. In 2014 they planted Teen Challenge in Armenia. 

Lesotho: School & Family Reintegration

Josh and Belinda

project 3

Through the ministry of Josh and Belinda, Mychurch is partnering with Sepheo to get children off the streets and back into families. Through Sepheo School and family reintegration, they have dramatically reduced the number of children living and begging on the streets. Since its founding, Sepheo has continued to expand its work to include interventions for children at risk of going to the street, facilitating alternative care for children who have been abused, abandoned or neglected, and providing skills training for young women.

Bolivia: After-School Care

Sonia and Carlos Terceros

project 4

Mychurch Adelaide is partnering with The Shepherds Storehouse to fund an education programme for underprivileged children in Bolivia. This provides Bible studies, English lessons, help with regular school work, and a hot meal each day. The programme was initiated by Chris and Della Mostert and launched in December 2009. It is directed by Sonia Terceros in Cochabamba.

Philippines: Church Planting

Ps Phillip Porcheron

project 5

Phillip Porcheron is an ACCI Field Worker serving in the Philippines since 2007.  Prior to becoming a missionary, he was involved in Teen Challenge street evangelism, counselling and coffee shop ministry, as well as serving as a church musician, deacon team leader, home fellowship leader, regional leader and lay pastor. Following a 3-week visit to the Philippines in 1987, Phillip felt a definite call to missionary service, spending the years after that furthering his education and training in ministry. 

Phillip is serving on the island of Samar, in the Philippines. Here he works in collaboration with the Filipino AOG training new Filipino pastors in discipleship, leadership and church planting amongst the Waray people. He is also involved in regular public ministry in existing churches, and will help initially with ministry and administration in the new church plants.

Vietnam: Community Development

Kelvin and Rebekah Windsor

project 6

Kelvin & Rebekah Windsor are long term field workers who serve in Vietnam on the AOG World Relief Vietnam team. As a couple, they are dedicated to seeing the people of Vietnam equipped and empowered to be the change they want to see in their world.

Kelvin and Rebekah believe in a holistic approach to development that empowers people, bestows dignity on people, and sees entire communities transformed. They do this by partnering directly with communities throughout Vietnam for the purpose of seeing them empowered to not only participate in, but ultimately determine and sustain their own development. 

Through a process of Community Development Workshops, communities identify their most felt needs and they themselves create development action plans which centre on mobilising their own assets and resources. From this, we make a range of different projects and programs available to communities to resource communities as they work towards their development goals like: Community Development including a growing range of prevention training to prevent a range of health and safety issues; Child & Youth Advocacy; and Life Skills Training initiatives.

Kelvin and Rebekah have a daughter Mirabelle, and son Eleazar.

Mozambique: Church Planting

Greg and Kim Hart

project 11

Greg and Kim along with their two children Gabi and Thomas have been living and working in Africa for the past 10 years raising up church leaders and developing communities. 

After God spoke to Greg and said “I didn't send you to Africa to build the church, I sent you to Africa to build the nations” we realised the time has come to meet the need of the African people by building an authentic church that worships God.  We believe this church to be a place that leads people into a loving relationship with Jesus, a church of influence that restores moral values and brings hope to the people of nations.
