Every Nation Needs to Know
|
Our annual World Missions Conference is a week for us to focus on gospel mission across the globe. During the conference, we have been getting to know our Mission Partners and the mission work they do around the globe. At this year's conference, we are raising support for seven mission partners involved in Bible-based mission here in Australia, in Dubai, in Spanish-speaking nations, in India and across Africa. Download a copy of our 2022 World Mission Conference booklet to find out more about our Mission Partners, their work across the globe and how you can support them in prayer.

Their role in the church is to ensure that it is focused on making, maturing and multiplying disciples of Jesus throughout the church and beyond.

Supporting the persecuted church in India
In places like North Korea, Afghanistan, India and China, Christians are persecuted and discriminated against for following Jesus. Open Doors has been helping people follow Jesus all over the world, no matter the cost since 1955. They strengthen the persecuted church by providing Bibles, training, and practical support to those who are targeted because of their faith in Jesus. This project will support the persecuted church in India.

"We first engaged with The Significant Marriage in 2015, We have attended, hosted, and taught it a number of times since. It is one of the most exceptional coaching programs we have seen and commend it to all without hesitation" – Shane and Rachel Dirks.
A strong marriage does not happen by accident. But here is the thing, it's not sufficient to simply have a strong marriage for yourself. The bible teaches that marriage is a reflection of God’s love for His people and the union between Christ and His church. The Significant Marriage (TSM) will not only give you opportunity to learn and design a strong and healthy marriage, it will help you to consider the purpose of your marriage, and to be able to understand and celebrate just why God has brought you together.
