BILL MANNING – ELDER

Bill and his wife Pauline, moved to Kununurra in June 1983 with their young family and joined the Kununurra Peoples Church.

Over these past 40 years, Bill has played a role in supporting church activities, particularly assisting the local leadership within his role as an Elder. Although the church has never had large numbers of people attending, it has remained consistent and faithful to the work of teaching the word of God and supporting the overseas mission field, through finances and prayer.

Many of the original believers who established the church in the 1960s and others who were part of leading the work in the years following, have gone on to be with the Lord. Since Paulines passing in 2023, Bill focuses on continuing to provide support, through church maintenance and relief teaching, and supporting the next generation of believers to take up the responsibility of faithful ministry to our community, both in Kununurra and across the Kimberley.
