Rob Douglas - Team Leader
Maida Vale Baptist Church, WA
“When looking for a global mission partner,
we were more interested in a relationship,
than simply an organisation to give funds to.
Those we support in least-reached Gospel
ministry are not simply names connected
to a map of the world on a dusty pin-board
at the back of the church – they are family
to us. Global Interaction keeps us up to
date with real-time prayer needs and we
regularly pray for our cross-cultural family
members.
Our relationship with Global Interaction has
also been integral for the discipleship of our
people and as a direct result has grown our
collective heart for God’s mission locally,
regionally and globally.”
“Byford Baptist Chur
ch celebrated May
Mission Month with
a Missions Weekend
event of national co
stumes and cuisine.
Lucy, former cross-cu
ltural worker, blessed
our Sunday Harvest
Thanksgiving Service
.
My sermon spoke to
Psalm 67 reminding
us
that Australia is not
the lucky country, we
are a “blessed coun
try”, and we are bless
ed
to be a blessing!”

“Maida Vale Baptist Church in WA is a
small chur ch with a big heart. We raised
more than $1000 towards the Ciyawo
Bible Translation project. While mission is
important to the life of the church all year
round, May Mission Month, helps us to think
about mission at a global level.”
“Our annual May Mission Month Fundraising
Dinner is an opportunity for our congregation
to come together in support of our vision for
mission locally and abroad. The event was
well supported and we are proud to partner
in prayer and giving with Global Interaction,
impacting least-reached people groups in
Africa for the Kingdom of Heaven.”

“We are so thankful for our home church Camden
Baptist’s support during May Missions Month,
culminating in a fabulous community dinner. There
was a wonderful spread of food by some talented cooks
in the congregation. This included a Yawo meal and
the group was encouraged to eat it Yawo-style (with
hands!). It was amazing to see how much was raised for
one of our projects.

“As a community committed to finding and
following Jesus, Beaumaris Baptist Church
is eager to learn from the perspectives of
other followers of God, most importantly our
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander brothers
and sisters. Resourcing and supporting
Indigenous church leaders is vital work and
we are proud to be associated with Baptist
churches in Yuendumu, Willowra and Ali
Curung. We pray that our donation this May
Mission Month may be useful to these faith
communities and we look forward to more
time spent together on Warlpiri, Anmatyerre
and Kaytetye country in the near future.”
