Pictured is Bishop Barry Cunningham at the new Promise Faith Centre headquarters at Alectown.
Forty-eight years ago, Barry Cunnington, left his family farm near West Wyalong and ended up in ministry in Qld which established the Promise Faith Centre Churches International.
This month he returns to the Central West to establish the headquarters of this ministry at the former Vision Ministries, Mamre Farm, Alectown, now owned by Engedi Ministries Inc.
“I was born and raised in the Central West, between West Wyalong and Condobolin, and was the only son of a Methodist farming family,” Barry said.
“My peers and my parents recognised early that I had a call of God on my life to be a missionary, planting churches and having orphanages and widows’ homes.”
Barry said, “In 2025, I began to explore the relocating of the ministry headquarters to the former location of Vision Ministries at Mamre Farm in Alectown, now owned by Engedi Ministries Inc. The result? As of February 2026, Engedi has leased their property and facilities to us, the Promise Faith Centre Churches International.”
Thus begins Bishop Barry’s new chapter of ministry outworking in various activities, including regional and international Gospel crusades, Daisy a Day ministry (restoring the lives of wandering believers, both men and women, husbands and wives), revival, healing and prayer meetings, ministry training and beginning this October Long Weekend, an annual camp meeting mobilising Aussies for Christ.
Promise Faith Centre Churches International will have their official launch this Saturday, 14 March, starting at 12pm. All are welcome to attend this free event and lunch will be provided.
