To
towns too small for a Church...
too big to overlook.
When Col
Jones attended his first Institute classes he wondered about
it all. After a few weeks, he said: "Wow, it's changing
my life".
Six months
later, he returned with his Uniting Church workers and urged
them to tackle our practical studies. Three years later, he
claims the help from his teachers has opened new doors for
the ministry, and he courageously advances in his special
contact with ethnic and local teens in the Belmore area of
Sydney. Col Joins a team on Patrol outback during his annual
holidays, as stewardship of time in service to people.
Col is one of six hundred in the last fifteen years, some
Outback Patrol graduates have moved on to missionary work
in other countries, some have entered theological colleges
to prepare for full-time ministry and others have returned
to become teachers themselves.
Patrol Institute students graduate after three-months
intensive studies and practical training. Courses are
held at Patrol HQ in Mar/Apr/May, and Jul/Aug/Sept each
year. Twelve topics; expert faculty; proven results.
The
great benefit of the Outback Patrol Institute is in
retraining local Christians in their Church and youth
work. Outreach became more effective.
Evening
sessions continue every Tuesday of the academic year.
The faculty is made up of some of Australia's leading
evangelical workers. " Tuition is offered free,
as the Institute is wholly supported by the Lord's people.".

Bowman said she thanks the Lord for Outback Patrol,
and those who reached her for Christ. She came from
Tibooburra.

visit to Tibooburra. This lady's Christian witness turned
the town around and opened Outback Patrol work in 1961.
Her testimony lives on.
