GLOBAL MISSIONS
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
MATT 28:19-20
Why global mission?
We’re so excited about knowing Christ that we want everyone to know him as well. In fact, that’s our whole reason for being here: to glorify God by knowing Christ and making him known to people of all nations.
The scope of God’s mission is global, and he uses his church to proclaim the good news. Here at St Alban’s we long to see every church member support God’s mission on a global scale.
We encourage each individual or family to focus their support on one of our mission partners. Find out more below.
Who are our global mission partners?
J & P (CMS missionaries)
J & P’s journey towards missions did not start as a married couple, but as individuals whose lives were transformed by the good news of the gospel. Their journey has lead them to Eurasia where they will be the first CMS missionaries in that location.
They will be partnering with other gospel workers on location, using their IT and administration skills to assist the local church that serves many nationalities and refugees. Despite the rich biblical heritage in the land, the host country has a great gospel need with only 0.04% of the population being evangelical Christians.
During the first term, J & P will be focussing on learning language and culture, which is vital for building meaningful relationships on location, whilst supporting the work of the local church.
By praying, caring and giving you can help bring the light of the gospel to those in Eurasia!
India Gospel League
The India Gospel League bring sustainable transformation to villages throughout India. Our church has already completed two 5 year partnerships with churches in two villages in rural India, and we now partner with the church in Nimgoan Khairy. We partner with the local church to provide:
Medical services

The good news of Jesus
By praying, caring and giving you can bring hope to the people of Nimgoan Khairy.
Bush Church Aid
Bush Church Aid Society has been supporting gospel ministry in rural and outback Australia for over 100 years. They send out and support people to serve as ministers and evangelists in churches, indigenous communities and children and young people.
Through BCA our church supports Ben & Alissa Connelly in Cowra NSW. Ben serves as the Minister, pastoring and leading God’s people in the Anglican church to reach out to their local community of 10 000 people.
