Building a Gospel Ecosystem in Sydney and Beyond (VIDEO)

Harbour City Church and the MTW Sydney team are on a global mission to reach one of Asia's most diverse cities, and the Pacific Islands.

When people think about Sydney, they may not imagine that it is a very diverse place. People from all over the world, and especially from Asia-Pacific have made Australia their home. The MTW team here sees Sydney as a critical global city for reaching the nations.

Harbour City Church was unintentionally born out of a campus ministry when university students were eager to gather. Many graduates then wanted to serve in ministry long term. To expand the work of the church further, the team has started City Sanctum, a sanctuary for believers and an outreach to non-believers who work in the city.

The latest project in the region is a Pacific Islands ministry called Island to Island, or I2I, for local Presbyterian denominations. The MTW Australia team was able to form a partnership to work with local island national pastors and church leaders from Tonga, Samoa, American Samoa, Fiji, and Vanuatu.

God is actively growing the ministry in and around Sydney. The team would love to see more missionaries and gospel workers come and join in the work.
