Our Ministry Partners

By 2030, 70% of followers of Jesus will live in the Global South (the non-western world).

With this huge shift in World Christianity, Baptist Mission Australia is committed to strengthening existing and developing new Global South partnerships aligned with our vision and four key causes.

We will also expand innovative partnerships at home as ‘the world’ continues to come to Australia.
