Mission Updates
Missionaries

Here is some of the latest news from our missionaries (people who used to be members of DPC but are now working in various parts of the world sharing the gospel) as well as some of the mission organisations that we support and work with.



Mission of the Month

Dubbo Presbyterian Church is keen to support the work of the gospel.

One way we do this is by supporting a different missionary/mission each month.Each month we will try and update this page to give some information on whom we are supporting. Sometimes there will not be much detail due to the sensitive nature of some mission work

For the month of March we are supporting  Light Bringers Bible College, Talibon, Indonesia

Light Bringers Bible College is a ministry of the Talibon Baptist Church, and under the oversight of the Church alone. It is fully funded from friends in Australia.

News from Ethiopia

Here is the latest News from the Lukins Family.
February 2010
Breaking the home assignment with time back in Ethiopia
Paul & Carol have just returned from 4 weeks in Ethiopia, having left their
children in Condobolin with Carol’s mum Betty Berry for the duration. The
purpose was to orientate the three Water Corporation of WA staff (Kevin, Kat

in Mursi. We drove, hiked, and flew by helicopter over much of Mursiland in
the time there, and lots of ideas were bounced. BUT it is difficult to know
how (or if) to proceed with ideas because irrigation is a sophisticated
process and the Mursi are unsophisticated farmers (no land ownership rights,
