Serve
Baptist Mission Australia has an exciting, compelling vision. We exist to see vibrant faith communities following Jesus in their own distinctive ways.
I love Baptist Mission Australia’s commitment to contextual mission. It opens opportunities to explore how faith in Jesus can be lived out in ways that make sense all over the world. As we seek for God’s Kingdom to come in our host communities, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is working both in the cultures that we carry, and the cultures we are entering into.
For more than 140 years we have provided opportunities for people to embrace the Great Commission and the Great Commandment and serve Jesus across the world and in Australia.
We value the importance of Gospel proclamation and demonstration. We embody the good news of Jesus by word and deed. As you review our history and approach to ministry today, you will see that innovation and sharing God’s love are front and centre in our story.
As we seek to model the way of Jesus, we value the importance of incarnation and contextualisation. Put simply, we see that Jesus came alongside people in specific contexts and with unique needs. We see that He wasn’t interested in religion, but focused on life-transforming relationship.
We walk alongside people.
We walk alongside people.
We walk alongside people.
We share in everyday life. We live as learners so that when we share the good news of Jesus, we share it in ways that make sense in that culture, language and context.
We live in a rapidly changing world and we see that missional approaches will need to look different. In such a context we are committed to playing our part in fostering innovative, polycentric (many centres), polyvocal (many voices) initiatives, collaborating with partners across the globe.
We celebrate there are many great mission organisations across Australia, but if you’re considering long or short-term intercultural service we have an experienced team ready to discern with you.
We would love to sit and talk with anyone from across our movement, or other places, who feels a call to intercultural service. I am greatly encouraged by the tailored, personal discernment pathway our team provide and our commitment to helping people find their unique place in God’s big mission story.
