About
CMS Canberra Mission Focus is an annual event run by CMS and local supporters in Canberra, where Christians gather together and focus on God’s glorious mission to the nations. It is a great chance for your whole family to be inspired, encouraged and challenged by God’s work around the world.
God Revealed: Understanding Elijah on Mount Carmel today
“…so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
(1 Kings 18:37)
Our world is full of people who turn away from God. Generation after generation put their trust in idols who do not bring hope. Even believers can lose sight of the God who saves. But our God reveals himself to the nations, proving he is powerful, righteous and compassionate. And as we consider the amazing news of Jesus, who brings salvation to all who believe, we see that our Revealed God longs for his people to return to him.
You are invited to CMS Canberra Mission Focus 2020 where we will explore the theme, ‘God Revealed: Understanding Elijah on Mount Carmel today’. Our speaker, John Woodhouse will help us see how God reveals himself to all people as we dig deep into the thrilling story of 1 Kings 18.
We will also have the privilege of hearing from missionaries serving in various parts of the world.
- Howard & Michelle Newby, serving in the Philippines
- Chenny Thie, serving in Japan
- Craig & Samantha McCorkindale, serving in Cambodia
- New CMS missionaries
Canberra Mission Focus also has a fantastic Youth and Children’s program on the Saturday for Crèche – Year 9.
