To all of our financial and prayer supporters,
Thank you for your continued support of the work we are doing in Australia. We hope you enjoy our regular updates on the events in Sydney with the city outreach and church efforts.
We want to ensure that we are communicating to as many people about what the Lord is doing here in Australia.
The limited mission budget and the financial downturn in the global economy has caused us to limit our ‘hard copy’ communications. Yet, we strive to have monthly updates & e-mail correspondence with you. www.matthewsdownunder.com
We thought we would have some fun in testing the effectiveness of this means of communication. Would you be willing to send us as update of your family, your church, Sunday School classes or just your own personal update. It would be encouraging for our family to get the communication from you and it is a means of seeing if you are receiving the updates from us.Cyberspace is an amazing gift and tool, but sometimes it is difficult for us to know its effectiveness.
Thanks for participating in this test and we look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for all of your support and prayers.
The adventure continues…

Hey Matthews family!
I don’t know if I am your target audience, but I am subscribing to Matthewsdownunder.com. Cathy, I am the classmate of Russ’s that he shakes his head about & then tries to email something helpful & encouraging. I am married to Marcy (have been for 16 years now). We met in Lincoln, NE. We have just moved to Saylorville; she is a native Nebraskan & this is her first time away from Big Red country. We have three daughters: Paige (13), Megan (10) & Katie (9). All our nervously, but anxiously anticipating the new school year. I hope you are all well & we look forward to meeting you when you are back here next year.
