Simon & Angela Owen and their family moved to Cloncurry in April 2022. Simon previously served at Eagle Vale Anglican in Sydney and organised a short-term mission to Cloncurry in 2016. “Without knowing it at the time, we feel God used this short-term mission to help plant a seed and prepare us for ministry in Cloncurry five years later.”
Cloncurry has a population of around 2900 and is located about 780 kilometres south-west of Townsville. It is a regional service centre and local industries include cattle-grazing and mining. Cloncurry, Julia Creek and the Gulf area, (Normanton, Burketown, Karumba, Croydon, Georgetown) and other isolated cattle stations and mining communities have tiny groups of Christians and many who are yet to hear the gospel.

As we head to Mission Beach for the North Queensland Evangelical Christian Convention, please pray for safe travel and an encouraging and fruitful conference.
The Owen's Prayer Points for October 2025
As we commence Term 4 and the hot season begins, please pray for God to be strengthening us and our Cloncurry and Julia Creek congregations, and for His wisdom and power in all our regular ministry activities.
The Owen's Prayer Points for November 2025
We begin our Christmas season early in Cloncurry and Julia Creek before people leave town to beat the heat. Please pray for God to be at work in drawing people to our Carols services and community Christmas BBQ.
