Australian Baptists connected this month from all over Australia and 11 overseas locations for a conference like no other. Hundreds gathered in hubs or as individuals for the inaugural Baptists in Mission conference, a truly decentralised and interactive conversation around best practices in mission.

Presented by Global Interaction (Baptist Mission Australia) and Crossover in partnership, and built on GIA’s renowned Strategic Mission Week, over 40 leading thinkers and practitioners presented online from all over Australia and GIA’s international locations.

Australian Baptists, with a strong sense of the ‘missionaryhood of all believers’, are increasingly aware of the resource that Global Interaction is for developing our capabilities for effective mission here in Australia. Not only is there a sense of ‘the nations have come to us’, but also an increasing appreciation of the benefit of sound missiology in engaging born-and-bred Aussies.

Crossover, our national Baptist ministry championing evangelism, is renewing its focus on providing encouragement, training and resources that ‘Help Australian Baptist share Jesus.’ Their partnership with GIA for this event sparked financial support from Baptist Financial Services and Baptist Insurance Services, and the support of every state association and agency in a remarkable display of our ‘sleeves rolled up’ unity around our shared calling to the great mission of our great God.
