The Australia Mission Centre is delighted to once again welcome Apostle Lachlan Mackay to our shores this November. Lach brings a wealth of experience and a deep love for the church’s mission. He is a historian, storyteller, and bridge-builder who values listening and walking alongside disciples in diverse contexts.
Lach's first visit as our Apostle was in July when the primary purpose of his trip was to meet with Mission Centre staff and leaders and begin a national visiting tour to meet with congregations and members. That trip provided a wonderful introduction to our church community here in Australia and set the stage for deeper connections still to come.
This second visit will give Lach the opportunity to meet many more members and friends across the country, to listen to our stories, share in worship, and continue the journey of connection that began earlier this year. We are grateful for his willingness to spend extended time with us, and we invite you to join in welcoming him as he ministers among us.
Below you will find his November itinerary, including opportunities for you to meet, worship, and connect with Lach. Additional meeting points will be announced if they arise. We encourage you to participate where you can and to extend the warm hospitality of our Australian church community.
