What's Love Look Like?
Bringing God’s love to life – everyday in every place!
At the heart of mission is God’s love. A God who loves all people – everyday in every place! And we’re graciously invited to bring this love to life, across the street and around the world.
Throughout this four session series, explore what it means to live as imitators of Jesus, beautifiers in our broken world, in-betweeners and collaborators as we hold onto that question… what does it look like to share God’s love?

Across the Street: Local Mission Stories
Across the Street is a new resource series for church leaders.
We celebrate that the world has come to Australia and yet recognise that this brings additional complexities as we seek to share God’s love across cultures, languages and backgrounds. Through this series, we will meet leaders from Australian Baptist Churches who are engaging with their local community in creative ways.
Episode one is available now.

Back Home?
A book about transition, grief, loss, and learning how to open your heart to new people and experiences.
About the Book
About the Author
"Back Home? is the truest kind of fiction. This engaging story paints a realistic picture of the pain, anger, confusion, and crazy reactions that we can have when navigating the multiple losses of an international move—and also gently points us to sources of hope and healing. I thank God for this much-needed resource for families on the move." - Anna Brotherson, Author of Lewis’s Interesting Life
James is eleven years old and lives in Kenya. Street food, pet chameleons and ‘close as family’ classmates are what makes this home. But when his parents decide it’s time to move the family back to Australia, James’ world is split in two.
What happens when James has to leave everything familiar behind? What will life be like in a place he has only ever visited? And what does it mean to stick by your friends?
Back Home? is suitable for older primary and middle school children.

We'll Still be a Family
A beautifully illustrated children’s book exploring intercultural transition through the eyes of a child to help families prepare for this journey.
About the Book
About the Author
Baptist Mission Australia has teamed up with author Linsey Painter to produce this beautiful book for children of intercultural team members as they transition to life in a culture and setting very different to their own. As a third culture kid herself, Linsey has tapped into her own memories and written a beautiful story capturing the many emotions that children and adults alike experience as they adjust to a new home. The words are brought to life by Susan English’s delightful and poignant illustrations.
We’ll Still be a Family is suitable for children aged 4 to 8 years and has been designed for families to read together. This book will open conversations and give children the opportunity to express their expectations, uncertainties, fears and excitements as they anticipate the transition.

From Five Barley Loaves
This pioneering history is a comprehensive account of how Australian Baptists have engaged in global mission.
About the Book
About the Authors
After years of researching, writing and editing, Baptist Mission Australia published, with Morning Star Publishing, From Five Barley Loaves: Australian Baptists in Global Mission 1864–2010, edited by Tony Cupit, Ros Gooden and Ken Manley. The book is a comprehensive account of the pioneering global mission work of Australian Baptists.
Beginning with the incredible story of a group of women who came to be known as the Five Barley Loaves, the story has embraced long years of service in the Indian sub-continent and subsequent mission work across Asia, Africa, Central America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East as well as to and by our own First Nations people.
The contributors are mostly former Baptist Mission Australia team members. Whilst disappointments are reported and failures acknowledged, there are many heart-warming, soul-challenging accounts of heroic self-sacrifice, long lifetimes of service, revivals and mass movements into the Christian faith.
There are very limited copies of this book. If you would like to purchase a copy, please get in touch with our team. We cannot guarantee that a copy will be available for purchase.
