“Spirituality of the Activist”, July 27th with Mick Duncan in Melbourne.

Mick Duncan is a great friend of UNOH and many who are reading this will have heard him speak before. Mick is a New Zealander who has had decades of ministry both overseas, and locally. He is a radical disciple for Christ, who will challenge, provoke, ruffle, and inspire you. UNOH re-published his “Costly Mission” in 2007, as well as “Who Stands Fast?” and “Wild Ones”.

UNOH commissioning night

Sunday night the 31st July. Come along to the UNOH building (factory 2/6-12 Airlie Ave, Dandenong) on Sunday night at 6.00 pm for the annual commissioning night! On this evening, UNOH will pray for all the UNOH workers including the Sub-merge interns (some will have just become apprentices, others may have become Companions of Hope and others might decide that at the end of the year they will be finishing up with UNOH). We reaffim our covenent and commission for what lies ahead. We are also launching “Companions of Hope” and some others may be prayed for and commissioned on that same night. Mick Duncan and Jon Owen are speaking at the event and it will be a wonderful time of catching up, celebrating, and prayer together. It will be the last time all UNOH workers will be together in one place for two years.

Time to think about Submerge 2012

You might be thinking about the possibility of joining with UNOH and jumping in to do the Sub-merge training year. If you are considering it: let us know what you are thinking! Contact Jim Reiher jim@unoh.org; and begin a conversation with us. We are taking up to a dozen students for 2012, and will spread them around the different UNOH locations. How can you get involved? Being by telling us about where you are at, and what you are thinking about. We want you to be connected to UNOH – friends with us already – so make sure you connect! We will ask you where you would prefer to work (Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, or Thailand), and we can explain the different emphases of the different locations, as well as the way to be accepted by your preferred team. Don’t leave it any longer! Make that initial contact now!
