PAST MISSIONS TRIPS

Vietnam Trip
“A team of seven from The Gathering travelled to Vietnam for a two-week mission trip in partnership with INC Vietnam leaders Pastor David and Deborah Nam of CLC Church, Ho Chi Minh City.
The team ministered in two very different contexts. In the Central Highlands region of Dak Lak, they visited remote Hmong tribal churches – communities that have faced decades of government restriction and poverty – bringing messages of encouragement, prayer, community meals, and practical support, including the delivery of a ton of rice to drought-affected families near Ea Súp. The team also assisted in a roadside medical emergency, transporting a critically ill young man to the hospital.
In Ho Chi Minh City, the team participated in a three-day Pastors and Leaders Conference hosted by CLC Church, with every team member speaking and teaching to an audience of around 40 pastors and leaders from across the city and surrounding regions. They also joined CLC's youth and university outreach activities, connecting with the next generation of Vietnamese believers.
The trip was a rich first for The Gathering in Vietnam – exposing the team to both rural and city church contexts, cross-cultural ministry, and the realities of serving in a restricted environment. It has opened doors for future mission partnerships with INC Vietnam and CLC Church.”

Nepal
“A team of eight led by Peter Felsch travelled to Dhulikhel, Nepal, to serve alongside Living Faith Nepal Churches, the 8848 Institute for Training, and the Love & Hope Girls Hostel.
Over two weeks, the team delivered worship leader training for local churches, provided ESL training for ministry staff, and taught English to Badi caste girls at Love & Hope using biblical stories and principles. They also ran music lessons, facilitated a sports program for the girls, and conducted First Aid training for church members and local school staff in Sindhupalchowk.
The trip was marked by a strong spirit of service and humility, with team members stepping up to meet challenges with grace. A significant moment for the team was recognising the importance of investing in and equipping the next generation — both within their own younger members and among the emerging leaders in Nepal — creating a sense of urgency to faithfully pass on what they had learned in ministry.”

Cambodia Women’s Trip
In March 2026, a team of seven women, led by Joanna Wellman travelled to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to serve alongside Extreme Love Ministries. Extreme Love's main focus is to rescue, restore and protect women and children who are vulnerable to human trafficking. Their hope and vision is to, "restore the nation of (Cambodia) with God's love." It is such a privilege to partner with such a wonderful organisation.
Throughout the ten day trip, the women were actively involved in several of the EL's practical projects, which included, door to door ministry in the slums, outreach to the women in prostitution, ministry to the rescued women, and encouragement and prayer with the team who are on the ground full time. A huge highlight of the trip was a beautiful banquet that was hosted in partnership with Extreme Love, and was funded by the generous donations of many at The Gathering.
The women shared that throughout the whole trip, there was a tangible presence of the Father's love, peace and joy. This paved a way for His glory, goodness and presence to be experienced by many. They saw salvations in the red light district, healings in the slums and every single person that attended the banquet responded to either a fresh touch of God's love or to receive Him for the first time. The women who attended the banquet openly shared that, "we came for a free feed but when we arrived, we felt love, we felt like we were coming to a family meal, we did not want to leave. We are so grateful that you came all the way from Australia to love us."
The team is so grateful for the intercessory prayers that covered them during their trip, they know that the flow of heaven was only possible because of the faithful prayers of many.
