Glen & Beth McDonald, along with their children have lived in Roxby Downs since December 2018. Glen is the Minister-in-Charge at Roxby Downs Christian Community Church.

Beth enjoys sharing the gospel both within the church and the community.

Roxby Downs is a mining town in South Australia, about 560 kilometres north-west of Adelaide. It has a permanent population of around 4500 who come from around 40 different nations. Almost 1,000 fly-in fly-out (FIFO) or drive-in drive-out workers can be in town depending on shifts at the mine. The town was purpose-built for Olympic Dam, a mine that produces copper, uranium, gold and silver, which is located 16 kilometres to the north of Roxby.


The McDonald's Prayer Points for December 2024

Thank God for the Epic Kids Christmas Holiday program we have been able to run with local leaders. Pray for the children who have come along to respond to the message of hope that Christmas brings. Pray also for the leaders to be encouraged as they see God at work and that this would inspire more from our church to be passionate about children’s ministry and join the children’s ministry team.

Thank God for the “Paint and Sip” night bringing church relationships together with other friendships relationships.

Pray that our church would be excited to invite these friends to our Christmas carols service and Christmas services leading up to Christmas.

The McDonald's Prayer Points for January 2025

Pray that God will be preparing those looking to move to Roxby Downs to consider Christ and join our church family. Pray that those leaving our town will connect and serve with a church wherever they move.
