Berwick Anglican Church has a partnership with 6 mission partners that align with our values and mission. We commit to praying for these mission partners and supporting them financially as a part of our church’s giving. Our BAC mission partners are:
Chris and Julie Dean (CMS Missionaries in Timor-Leste) – For a long time we have partnered with CMS (the Church Missionary Society) supporting cross cultural and overseas gospel ministry. Recently we began supporting Chris & Julie Dean who have been sent to work in Timor Leste. You can find their latest prayer updates here. (Watch their latest update here)

In Victoria the regional director is Adrian Lane who has visited us often and who cares for sponsored individuals across Victoria. Prayer notes for the Bush Church Aid Society can be found here.
