First Nations Discipleship Training
Ministry in Australia
Among First Nations communities in Australia, there are active churches and pastors passionate about seeing their communities grow and thrive. However, limited discipleship training opportunities exist and those that do require in-person attendance in city centres hundreds of kilometres away, limiting the number of leaders able to attend.
At the invitation of First Nations pastors and in a unique collaboration opportunity with two Indigenous Christian organisations, this project seeks to pilot grassroots discipleship training in regional communities. During 2025 and 2026, training sessions will be held for 30 current and emerging First Nations Christian leaders. Participants are then invited and equipped to run future training sessions within their churches and communities.
The project covers the cost of venue hire, transportation, catering and resources as well as a retreat to bring participants together.
Investment in this discipleship training can have lasting and deep impacts for multiple remote communities. Healthy leaders inspire healthy communities, transformed by the love of Jesus.
