Crossing the Street
Bible study
Key video
This short film has been created as the entry point for the Crossing the Street theme. It can be used as part of a sermon, as a standalone video or as a small group resource.
What is it about?
Crossing the Street tracks the daily lives of three followers of Jesus in Thailand and Australia. They live in different contexts and are at different stages of life. However, they are all followers of Jesus who are following Him across the street.
Because that’s how Jesus lived His life on Earth! He went out of His way to embody the good news and meet people where they were.
- Liz, an intercultural team member in Thailand – builds relationships with sellers at the market and her tuk-tuk driver, and then getting her hands dirty to help her friend on her farm.
- Jan, a supporter living in Australia – crosses the street by listening to and praying with her friend, and then volunteering to teach English at her local church.
- Danny, a university student in Australia – shares God's love through offering hospitality to his friend at uni and inviting him into a welcoming group of friends.
In ordinary – but transformative – ways, Liz, Jan and Danny are crossing the street with the hope of Jesus.
And so are our Baptist Mission Australia teams, all around the world! Your partnership means they can keep crossing streets and seeing people meet Jesus in ways that makes sense to them.
