Sisters Missions

Having experienced the love of Jesus personally, the MGL Sisters’ mission is to bring that same love to others. We aim to lead people to a personal relationship with Jesus, and to experience a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

We have a particular focus on reaching young people with the powerful message of Jesus. We also focus on those groups of people who are unchurched or alienated from the Church in some way.  Our ministries include:

  • camps and retreats for youth and young adults;
  • co-ordinating and nurturing youth groups;
  • running a lunchtime evangelisation and support for girls as part of our mission in high schools;
  • faith formation;
  • conducting schools of evangelisation in the Asia Pacific;
  • providing spiritual direction and pastoral care;
  • working with and alongside indigenous peoples;  and
  • outreach to people living in government house complexes.
