    Christian Witness to Israel will restart its mission work in Australia, it was reported in March, nearly 50 years after its first missionaries shared Jesus with Jewish people in that country.

    Mark and Rahel Landrum are based in Sydney in New South Wales, where there is a thriving Jewish community of around 50,000 people. In total, Australia’s Jewish population numbers around 120,000, and includes many Holocaust survivors who arrived during and after the Second World War.

    The much-maligned Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, was seen praying for his nation from his parliamentary office in a clip widely shared online in early April.

    Taking part in a prayer group, he committed the nation and the world to God. He prayed for strength, wisdom, peace, and encouragement. He asked that God’s people be instruments for God’s love, compassion, mercy and grace, and lights in the darkness.
