Our vision is for a world where everyone can find refreshing faith in Jesus - this is why we direct 10% of all donations to local and overseas missions. We partner with various mission initiatives, so there’s something for everyone to pray for, get excited about, and actively participate in.

After 10 years based in Indonesia, Phil and Guinevere are back in Melbourne, working in Bible translation and training with Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Summer Institute of Linguistics Australia (SILA).
Phil supports remote Papuan language teams and trains students to analyse and produce sounds from world languages. Guinevere is a translation advisor with the Papuan Malay language team, as well as a consultant for other teams in Indonesia.

Emily Quinn is a Foundation Studies coordinator at Nungalinya College, a combined churches training college for Indigenous Australians. She oversees the delivery of three “foundation” courses in which participants study the Bible and develop literacy and numeracy skills.
We partner with Emily and Nungalinya College so they can continue equipping students for leadership roles in churches and communities.
This means that students from over 100 different communities can learn about the Bible contextually in an environment that respects and celebrates their cultural and language backgrounds, and then reach others for Christ across Australia.
Anglican Overseas Aid has been working with the Anglican Church of Kenya, Mt Kenya West Diocese since 1996 when HIV/AIDS reached pandemic levels in Kenya.
By partnering in this work, we are helping Anglican Overseas Aid improve the health and safety of Kenyan women and children, increase resilience to climate change, and support the most marginalised in making a living.
The team also trains church and community leaders in how they can reduce gender-based violence and protect children from abuse, neglect and child labour.

For more than 40 years, Prison Fellowship has existed to share the gospel of Jesus with prisoners and families in Australia and beyond.
The organisation was founded by Charles “Chuck” Colson, who was imprisoned for his involvement in the Watergate inquiry. He became convinced that the solution to crime was spiritual renewal and founded Prison Fellowship to reach people behind bars.
Since Prison Fellowship Australia was begun in 1981, more than 200,000 inmates have been reached for Christ. Our partnership in this work helps to spread the gospel and restore even the most broken lives in prison.
Compassion is an international child development organisation that seeks to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
We partner with Compassion in the Philippines, where communities face high rates of natural disasters, poverty and malnutrition. This region is also increasingly rampant with sexual exploitation, and children are especially vulnerable.
Compassion works with more than 8,000 churches to deliver programs that are adapted for the needs of local children and communities. By financially and prayerfully partnering with Compassion, we are supporting critical work to protect children and families and equip children holistically so they can become fulfilled and responsible adults.
In 2010, Pars was founded by an interdenominational group of Iranian pastors, theologians and counsellors whose mission was to equip and mobilise the Iranian church.
Pars trains, resources, mentors and mobilises leaders to spread God’s mission through the Persian-speaking world. Today, they are home to a three-year theological program, mentoring and counselling services, leadership forums, a publishing house and multiple online forums to strengthen leaders in Iran.
At Deep Creek, we have a heart for Farsi mission in our local community. Our partnership with Pars Theological Centre means that a community of faithful leaders can bring the light of Christ to Iran and beyond.
