Ron & Angie Onks

Grade School Religious Education Teacher

Ron and Angie Onks have been with IGM since 1992. They live in Pacific Pines, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Rev. Onks teaches 19 religious education classes for 6th - 7th graders in 5 different public elementary schools throughout the area. Although religious education is still an optional public school course in Australia, most classes teach a watered-down version of the Bible, focusing on God's love, and not His judgment of sin.  Ron has had great success in teaching the Ten Commandments as a means of opening a discussion on God's holiness and man's sin. Rev. Onks is also the religious education coordinator for 34 other classes, working with 12 other teacher/helpers. In his "spare time", Ron also helps with the ministry in their local church.

"This unique school ministry in which God has placed us is a great evangelistic opportunity to reach a generation of young people of which very few would ever consider going to a church service.  We are so grateful to you and ask you to continue standing with us in this ministry so that we may continue to offer the 'blessed hope' to many more students this year and hopefully many years in the future."

Prayer Requests:

• More volunteer religious education teachers
• cooperation from school administrators
• protection from the many ungodly people who don’t want us in the schools, including some ministers who don’t really like us using the Bible to teach.
