Normanton is located in the heart of Queensland's Gulf Country. The ministry extends into Cape York Peninsula, across the Gulf Country to the N.T. and down to Mt. Isa.
There is a strong Community based programme. The Christian Centre has a regular Church programme, Sunday Schools and visitation to the Aged Persons facility and hospital. Large numbers attend the Children's programs - or just 'drop in' to the facility there.
The chaplaincy programme at the school is a valuable point of contact and ministry with the children.
The Centre is often a 'safe place' for persons experiencing difficulties, needing support, or just someone to talk to.
Normanton tri-annually hosts the Northern Aboriginal Christian Convention. 200-300 people camp 'out bush' to study God's Word, enjoy the Christian fellowship and to encourage one another.
News - March 2010
We praise God that Elton Thompson is ministering with the Normanton Church. He has settled in and the people love him. Elton is having a few weeks in Brisbane in March and Lyle Morris is relieving there from early March. Mid/latter March Ross & Eula Vogel will make another journey to Normanton and stay until Elton's return. Ross & Eula have shared in ministry with the Normanton Christians 4 or 5 times. They are loved dearly and have done a great service. (We hope Ross will be rewarded with a big Barramundi on this visit!)
The 'living' Church continues well. We praise God for answered prayer ad that the Sunday School has commenced again.
Pray for Kaylene Burns (a young mum). She has been having medical treatment in Brisbane. She returns in a week or so for further radiotherapy. Kaylene has asked for a Bible and study book. Pray that she will be given understanding as she reads God's message for her.
