Year 9 Girls Mission Trip Report

The Year 9 girls mission team headed out to Brewarrina and Gulargambone on Friday 20 October for a week of supporting the ministry of Pastor Isaac Gordon and Pastor Henry Louie. The girls on the team were: Hannah B, Morgan D, Alice H, Imogen H, Matilda L, Isabella T and Izzy W. The staff on the trip were Mrs Barnes, Mr McGillivray and ex-student, Olivia F.

After a long drive, the girls set up camp at Four Mile Reserve in Brewarrina and headed into the local youth group. There they were met by many excited young people that were very happy to meet them. The girls lead some games and shared some testimonies. These were all enjoyed by the participants and the girls on team.

On the Saturday after morning devotions, the girls had some time at the council swimming pool and engaged with some of the locals. It was wonderful to see how the girls seamlessly mixed with the locals. That evening a couple of the locals came and shared a meal with the girls around the campfire.

On Sunday morning the team headed to church and performed an item for the congregation. They sang ‘The Blessing’. The congregation and Pastor Isaac felt very blessed by the song. A few more girls shared their testimony in church and then enjoyed a meal with the locals in the church. After church, the team travelled an hour to a small town called Weilmoringle. There they enjoyed hearing the old stories that were shared by Aunty Josie Byno.  The team also attended the evening service where they shared a few more testimonies and also performed their item.

On Monday, the girls met with Pastor Isaac at the Old Mission site where they learnt some of the history of the Mission and what it looked like and some of the stories that came out of there. That afternoon, the team went to Brewarrina Christian School where they spent time with the students at lunch and also put together some care packages for the students. These were the result of a fundraising effort of Morgan D and her mum as well as some of Morgan’s friends, Isabella, Alice and Imogen. They also raised enough money to buy some much needed resources for the school which Mr and Mrs Turner were very thankful for.

On Tuesday, the team made their way into town and visited the Brewarrina Cultural Museum. They were met by local guide Bradley who showed them through the museum and shared much of the local history. Some of this was very sad and highlighted the incredible challenges that the local Aboriginal people faced. After the museum, the team packed up camp and travelled to Gulargambone. They set up camp and enjoyed some more facilities, including hot showers.

The following day, the team travelled to Gilgandra where they picked up Pastor Henry and went to the Warrumbungle National Park after a brief visit to the emu farm at Tooraweenah. The girls enjoyed listening to Pastor Henry’s stories and encouragement of faith. We shared a BBQ lunch at a beautiful picnic spot and then took a short walk to the White Gum lookout. We enjoyed some homemade pizzas for dinner after an enjoyable day.

On our last full day, we travelled with Pastor Henry to Pillaga to the Bore bath where two of our team, Morgan and Isabella were baptised by Pastor Henry. This was a wonderful witness and encouragement to the team to see these two young ladies to publicly declare their faith in Jesus. After this, we shared a BBQ lunch and then had some fellowship with Pastor Henry in the church at Pillaga.

After packing up our tents and all our equipment we headed back to the Central Coast where we were greeted by some very happy parents. Overall, the girls had an amazing time and built some lifelong memories.
