Youth Worker
In October 2014 the congregation agreed at a Congregational Meeting that we should employ a part-time Youth Worker at Canterbury Presbyterian Church and undertook to support that Worker both prayerfully and financially. Paul Jang was appointed by the Session to that position as from 1 January 2015. We thank and praise the Lord for Paul’s leadership and oversight of the Youth Ministry in 2015. With the pledge of support from Presbyterian churches in Cheonan, South Korea (providing 50% of the funding required), Paul was able to apply for Permanent Residency in Australia for his family on the basis of a full-time Youth Worker position at Canterbury. That PR visa has now been granted and Paul will serve in a full-time capacity in 2016. Please continue to support Paul (both prayerfully and through your regular giving each week) in this crucial ministry in the life of our church.
