First Nations Discipleship Training
Ministry in Australia
Among First Nations communities here in Australia, there are active churches and pastors passionate about seeing their churches grow and thrive. However, limited discipleship training opportunities exist and those that do require in-person attendance in city centres, 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. Over the next two years, until mid-2026, training sessions will be held for current and emerging First Nations Christian leaders, inviting them to participate in the training to then be able to run future training sessions within their churches and communities. It will culminate in a retreat for approximately 30 participants.
The project covers the cost of hall hire, transportation, catering and resources as well as the second year retreat to bring participants together.
