Our ministry

The reason for this Blog is to keep you informed of what we are involved in, both directly and indirectly with colleagues working around the world. To keep up-to-date with the Priest family, please use the link to our other more personal site, Global Ventures (on the right of this page).


Currently we are working with New Tribes Mission Australia out of their HQ at Laurieton, NSW. Our focus will always be to impact people although our roles may change and evolve. As God shapes and challenges us, our ability and desire to be involved in various aspects of an organisation and ministry will change also.


Di and I are both in roles that stretch our boundaries. I am called the Australian Ministry Coordinator, and am responsible for ensuring the smooth integration and working together of all the ministries in Australia. I am only just beginning to come to terms with the enormity of the task and of some potential ways forward in it. Di is involved in the Missioanry Training arm of the organisation, and is working with a team to develop a new course, that will include biblical, missions and language training to better equip people.

We have been here for a little over 12 months now, and the challenge is to stay the course. The instigation of change can be draining and wearying, and the temptation to give in is often there.

Prayer is a way you can partner with us and here's a few items for starters:

"You have not because you ask not...."

  • Ask that our relationship with God is fresh and sustained
  • Ask that we will be sensitive to the needs of the people with whom we work

  • Celebrate that we have new family every day in various corners of the earth as a result of faithful people sharing God's word

Thanks for taking time to visit our Blog. We appreciate the interest and involvement of others in our lives and those who we are working with.
