The Whitsundays Laguna Quays Respite coordinated by Well-Being Australia for missions is celebrating the wonderful responses of bookings by missions’ people.
The Whitsundays mission respite facility, opened 10 years ago in 2011, has provided many mission families / couples and chaplains - a much deserved rest and recuperation. This two 2 min video is of its ministry for missionaries, home missions, church full time personnel is remarkable.
Laguna Quays Respite
The respite cottage is situated a fifteen minute drive south of Proserpine airport and a stone's throw from Midge Point. Opened in 2011, Well-Being Australia developed this mission respite ministry after my wife Delma and I had ministered respite to Australian Institute of Sport elite athlete "respite" in both Moruya (Basil Sellers Moruya) and Tweed Heads (Basil Sellers Tweed) since 1992.
The Laguna Quays Respite facility was a dream of ours to serve our mission community with a no-cost rest and recuperation experience and the Whitsundays provides many such opportunities for relaxation. Mission people can drive or fly into Proserpine airport inexpensively.
