Eugenie Harris, Jocelyn and Bill Ross prepare for mission to Shark Bay
A mission trio recently took a nine-hour road trip to share the good news of Jesus’ birth with students at an isolated school in Shark Bay.
Rev Bill Ross, his wife Jocelyn and Diocesan worker Eugenie Harris were invited to Shark Bay School to share the true story of Christmas with about 50 students from Kindy to Year 10.
Bill led an interactive celebration of Bible readings, prayer, singing and question time. The event featured a drama skit which involved 27 girls and boys up on the stage.
“It was such a privilege to be able to visit and share the news of God’s plan for salvation with these young people,” Eugenie said.
“The students asked great questions like, ‘Why did Jesus have to be born?’
“The highlight for me was when a teenage student came up afterwards and asked for a Bible. He said he wasn’t a Christian but he’d been wanting a Bible for a while, however, he didn’t know where to get a copy.
“I praise God that He had been working in this young man’s heart and that we were able to be the messengers bringing the Word to him.
Bill and Jocelyn retired from ministry at Shark Bay in 2020 and a positive relationship with the school was one of the fruits of their labour.
Please pray for these young people in Shark Bay to respond to the gospel.
