Russ and Cathy Matthews
- Their City Bible Form in Sydney will focus on the topic of euthanasia followed in coming weeks by the topic of how Genesis answers the big questions of life.

Steve and Sue Mayo
- Matt professed faith in Christ in sixth grade in his public school classroom and then attended their church youth group for a couple years. But when he moved out of the area with his family, they lost touch with him. He recently wrote to say that he is serving the Lord as a youth leader in his local church.
- Several of the 130 students they teach at Bennett Road Public are asking questions about salvation. Shannon recently expressed faith in Christ for salvation.
- The Australian Fellowship of Bible-believing Churches (http://www.afbc.net.au) is helping Australian missionaries to plant new churches. They have added two churches to their group. One of these is a new church plant in the state of South Australia. Steve is meeting with the men of their church as a group and also one on one to encourage their spiritual growth.
- Pray for a good crowd of unsaved people to attend their showing of "Courageous" on April 28.

- Since the opening day of English classes with no students attending, four students have started studying. Additional students are needed before June in order for this new location to be viable.
