Areyonga

Each year, people from all over Australia give their time, money and labour to help local congregations to maintain the structures they feel they need to help proclaim the gospel in their local area.

The people of Areyonga community decided to donate more than $100 000 towards the renovation of their church. Meanwhile, the Bethel congregation (SA) no longer used their pulpit…

What is the church? Where can we find it? Who is part of it? This is what 40 women gathered to consider on the banks of the Areyonga (Utju) Creek.

In May, the world famous Soweto Gospel Choir’s Australian tour began in Central Australia with a visit to the predominantly Lutheran Areyonga community 200 kilometres west of Alice Springs.
