What a joyous celebration! 60 years of ministry in Kununurra and 60 years of Bush Church Aid supporting this amazing ministry. Many people from the community helped celebrate this milestone at St James’ anniversary service.

“Bishop Darrell shared a powerful message about coming to Jesus to worship Him, and Greg Harris offered a glimpse into our church’s rich history and its ongoing connection with Bush Church Aid, spanning the whole 60 years,” says Field Staff Daniel Faricy. “We were also joined by special guest – puppet Butternut – who brought joy to our celebration! We enjoyed cake and fellowship, but above all we are deeply grateful to God for His faithfulness to St James Anglican Church in Kununurra.”
