Missionaries to Position Selves In "Godless" Darwin

A family of North Carolinian evangelists is planning to set up a mission in Australia’s northern city of Darwin.

The Gibbs family is heading to the “unreached city” on account of the high rates of drinking and sexually transmitted diseases.
From the Gibb’s family site:

As we continue to read the news in Darwin, it only reinforces our burden for this unreached city and the urgency of us planting a church there. Northern Territory is now the country’s leader in STDs and alcohol consumption. Though the government tries to combat these problems with social programs, we as Christians know that it is only Christ who can truly heal this territory.

The Gibb’s family plans for the godless Darwinians will be put into place once they have raise all of the necessary funds and have their visas approved. According to NT News, they intend to: “begin planting a church in Darwin through evangelistic crusades, letter boxing and other mediums” and “train both Australians and Asians for full-time Christian service”.
