Dundas Telopea Anglican Church | Trainer: Alistair Seabrook

Hi! My name is Tom, I’m 25 and want to serve the Lord by teaching the Bible to Christians and non-Christians alike.

I currently have the joy and privilege to serve on the ministry team at Dundas Telopea Anglican Church; I am participating as an MTS apprentice through a scholarship in partnership with Cornhill Sydney, an institute that is dedicated to raising faithful preachers who take the authority of the Bible seriously and want to see God’s Word taught as God has presented it.

If you would like to support me in my ministry to the Church and communities of Dundas, Telopea and Rydalmere, there are three main ways you can support me:

1. Prayer: please bring myself, my trainers, and the rest of the ministry team at Dundas Telopea before the Lord in your prayers. There are some prayer points below to assist you.

2. Accountability: as faithful, Bible-believing Christians, we take the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9-10) and Biblical standards for appointed Christian leaders seriously (1 Timothy 3:1-13). If you have any concerns regarding my preaching, teaching or ministry – or simply wish to offer me Godly encouragement or wisdom – please email me at: [email protected]
I strongly encourage your involvement and feedback!

3. Financial: if you wish to support me financially and feel convicted by the Lord to do so, you can do so through the “Support Thomas Catchpoole” link on this page. Please give only as per your means and convictions, as Paul said: “Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion” (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Soli Deo Gloria

Prayer Points

1. Praise God that He equips His servants for ministry with His Spirit and His Word (John 14:26; 2 Timothy 3:16-17), so that the gospel of Christ will be proclaimed as the sole means of salvation to those who hear it and believe (Romans 1:16).

2. Pray for us at Dundas Telopea Anglican Church, both staff and members, that we as one body will seek to serve the Lord according to the grace given to us for service as imitators of Christ (Ephesians 4:7-13, 5:1-2).

3. Pray for MTS and Cornhill Sydney, that the staff, trainers and students would have their hearts humbled before our great God, not seeking our own glory, but the glory and approval of God alone (John 12:42-43).

4. Pray for the advancement of God’s Kingdom and the fulfilment of His Kingdom on the day of Christ and His coming. This is our hope and our joy of salvation; “that every knee will bow…and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11).
