Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas
Great news!

We have now raised 12% of our fundraising which is brilliant.

So a BIG thank you to all those who have returned their staff support leaflet.

Other brilliant news...
Six young men from the remote Bremer Island Charley visited on our recent trip, have become Christians. Bravely they were baptised in the sea, at a time of year when jelly fish and crocodiles are present. This is an encouraging development for all those in the Northern Territories who are involved in sharing the word of God with people in remote places.

As we look forward to next year and changes ahead let's hope for a great year of fun, friendship and fulfilment.

Wishing you all every blessing for the year ahead.

C ,R & family.

Nhulunbuy-have you heard of it?

Welcome to the first Stockley family blog.

It's the end of October 2009 and we have been staying with Mission Aviation Fellowship (www.maf.org.au) in Nhulunbuy, Arnhem Land, a mining town in one of the most beautiful and remote parts of Australia's Northern Territory.

Mission Aviation Fellowship is a world wide Christian charity that we will be working with in this area, serving Aboriginal people by providing a vital link between Nhulunbuy facilities and their Homeland outstations. This means that the indigenous people of Arnhem Land are able to remain out in the "bush" and live in their small family clans which is so important to them and part of their culture.

The process of gaining a work permit is taking it's time but it's going to be well worth it. As a family it is such an honour for us to be part of this programme within MAF International.

Our Internet time is about to expire so please view our blog again soon as we will update regularly!

God bless from us all.
