Jerry Patrick Jangala OAM is a respected church and community leader among the Warlpiri people of Central Australia and a significant figure within the national Baptist movement. His life story - from nomadic hunter to community elder and Christian pastor - is both compelling and worthy of wide recognition.

Jerry and key leaders in Lajamanu are enthusiastic about the project and actively partnering with the team to bring it to make it possible. Mark Holt, Ivan Jordan, Mat Anderson and Elliot Keane are working with Jerry and key church leaders from Lajamanu to facilitate the writing, editing and publication of a book about Jerry’s journey. The project is highly collaborative, reflecting Jerry’s extensive relationships with individuals and organisations over many years.

In addition to conducting interviews and gathering stories, the team is also identifying and drawing together the various ways Jerry’s story has already been shared across different contexts and mediums. This will bring all the rich history together in one place to better capture and honour Jerry’s faith-filled testimony.

Will you partner with us to cover the costs associated with the travel to sit and listen, record and learn about Jerry’s history to then share his incredible legacy?
