"Amy has a sincere love for God and people. She is committed to the local church and understands how important it is to partner with the indigenous local church to ensure people grow up in their faith by being loved and cared for in a family of believers. I have no doubt that Amy Battocchio is called by God to be a cross-cultural field worker in Japan. I wholeheartedly endorse Amy Battocchio and believe that she will make a lasting and positive difference in the lives of those she encounters on her mission."

"I have known Amy for many years and have seen the developing and unfolding call upon her life during that time. It has always been clear to us that God had placed a special call upon Amy’s life and I was not at all surprised when we began a more intensive journey with her in relation to her future. Amy is now one of the 19 partners Neuma Church supports and it is privilege for us to partner with her. I pray that God will richly bless you and your mission endeavours and that He will lead in your prayerful consideration of supporting Amy in her exciting future ministry."

Amy is a pioneer! Amy was part of our core team when we planted Bridge Church West (now Neuma Melbourne West) and was responsible for overseeing our New Christian’s ministry which included discipling new believers and equipping and developing believers to share the gospel confidently. Amy is passionate about Jesus and evangelises everywhere she goes and as a result has led many people to Jesus on the streets. Amy has a heart for all people but especially for the marginalised in society where she has travelled far and wide to meet people where they are at and share the love of Jesus ensuring that people are seen and looked after. Amy is such a strong leader whose joy inspires others to want to draw closer to God. Sonia and I will always be grateful for Amy and the impact her ministry has had in our lives. Neuma Church West location Pastors Amy served on the church planting team with Pastor David and Sonia, planting Neuma West location 5 years ago. Enoch Kenway
"I wholeheartedly recommend Amy Battocchio for the role of a full-time missionary in Japan. Her faith, dedication, and love for people make her an invaluable asset to any mission. I have no doubt that she will excel in her endeavors, and I eagerly anticipate the positive influence she will have on the lives of those she encounters in Nagasaki."

"I have been praying for Nagayo Nagasaki, a town without a protestant church, since April of 2004. My prayer was: 1) Lord, please bless this city. 2) Please send someone to preach the gospel in this city. 3) Please build a church in this city. Now, this prayer is about to come true. Hallelujah!” Pastor, Church Planter, Bible School Teacher, Joshua Project founder (church planting movement into unreached towns in Japan) |
Pastor Joel & Bree
Deciding to hire Amy proved to be an incredible blessing to the Kingdom and to me personally. Her passion for Jesus and people is infectious and she brings a deep conviction of the goodness of God everywhere she goes. She has a sound character and remains hungry, humble and teachable - surrounding herself with wise council and positive influences. Amy is a force for the Kingdom and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering a partnership.

In the case of Amy and her devotion to Jesus, let me echo the words of Paul to the church to Corinth. Paul says: “For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:2-5 NLT I have had the privilege of knowing Amy as a friend and being part of the same church family for a little over half a decade. We have served at the same locations, on same teams, same street outreaches & a mission trip during this time. She loves the Lord, is scholar of the word, a fiery intercessor, a friend of the Holy Spirit & lover of His bride…the church. Her heart is drawn to those who have never heard of the gospel of Jesus and subsequently, she has laid down her life the make His name known. What started as a simple mantra of stopping for the “one” has translated into her packing up her life in Australia to relocate to Japan with the same mission. She is a laid down vessel worthy of being invested in. I whole heartedly endorse her and encourage you to prayerfully consider supporting her in her ministry. Neuma Church West location Prophetic and Worship Oversight Pastor Yuya Ueda
"With a Christian population of less than 1% in Japan, the planting of the first [protestant] church in that area [of Nagayo, Nagasaki] will have a tremendous impact. As the mother church in Japan, we hope to work together with hope and focus on what the Lord is doing.” Senior Pastor of Moriyama Church, Bible School Teacher, Chairman of Asian Outreach Japan Amy' s sponsor church for her missionary visa |
