It is also encouraging to Mennonites in Australia that they are connected to the larger history and church represented around the world through the denomination. Having a connection with different Anabaptist groups around the world enables them to take root in the movement and tie into the history of the denomination. <br> </div></td></tr>

Brouwer was a young man with an Anabaptists heritage who moved to Sydney, he quickly found work like many other young Mennonties with a strong work ethic. He met other Mennonites in a Presbyterian church, this was unique because the pastor was originally Dutch and also preached the churches sermons in Dutch. In 1956 Froppe married Alice Hazenberg, a young adult with a similar Anabaptists background as himself. Together they continued to worship at the Presbyterian Church, however, in 1964 they took a family vacation to the Netherlands. During their travels they attended the Hollumop Ameland Mennonite Church, in April of 1965 their family was baptized. When they retuned to Australia they attempted to keep the Anabaptist vision they had re-discovered in the Netherlands alive. Froppe placed an advertisement in the Dutch Australian Weekly asking other Mennonites to respond to his desire for a Mennonite fellowship in Australia. Eventually he also began publishing “Die Mennist”, a four-page publication that was sent to about 80 families in the Netherlands through the 1970s and 80s. <br> Die Mennist was a newsletter that focused on the “Mennonite Fellowship of Hope.” The Froppe’s hopped that it would serve to locate dispersed Mennonites in Australia and bring them together. The Froppe’s worked hard to make the fellowship at Fennell Bay an attainable community for all ages. In 1981 they purchased a bus that was used to get Sunday school children to and from home, they also used the bus to transport children to club camp at Lake Mcquarie.

Another challenge confronting the Mennonite church is the fragmentation the group often feels from the rest of the Anabaptist world.
