Developing and maintaining partnerships which enable us to extend the hope of Jesus beyond our immediate community, are both important and challenging.  

We support TEAR, in its aid and development work.

CMS in its international evangelism, teaching and church planting and the Sydney Diocesan Aboriginal Ministry, as it supports indigenous ministry throughout Sydney.

These are our major partners, drawing on our rental income and people's individual giving. We also support BCA (Bush Church Aid society), CBMI (Christian Blind Mission International) and other special projects as designated ministries, with individual congregation members regularly contributing money and time. 

We must grow our partnerships beyond Glebe. The whole world needs to receive the hope Jesus brings.  Now that Noel and Margo Clark have completed their service in Kenya, we will be starting a new link parish partnership through CMS this year in 2010. It is also hoped we will enter a partnership with a ministry or community in Nigeria. 

The Millennial Development Goals, developed by the United Nations to halve world poverty by 2015, are important for every church to embrace, as we live out their mission to be the people of God.

St John's supports the MDG's through encouraging the senior minister in his chairing the national steering committee of Micah Challenge, a coalition of organisations, churches and individuals advocating that Australia does its fair share in achieving the MDG's. 

We give thanks to all within our community, who have a strong commitment to such partnerships; those who give, those who make jam, those who distribute boxes, those who advocate, those who pray and, God willing, those who go.

An excellent place to look at matters of theology, social engagement, mission and justice is the Jubilee Centre, based in the UK. www.jubilee-centre.org
