Baptist Mission Australia (BMA) is dedicated to passionate missional leadership, building flourishing faith communities and transforming local communities with innovative partnerships.

1. Peace Bridges Organisation Partnership - Cambodia (Tax Deductible)
Baptist Mission Australia partners with Peace Bridges Organisation to support a conflict transformation and family reconciliation program.
Even though decades have passed since the Khmer Rouge tragedy, many marginalised communities continue to be impacted by structural and family violence, poverty, deforestation and other human rights abuses. And yet change is happening – and it’s occurring on the ground, in local communities and villages – led by local people trained in peacebuilding and conflict resolution.
The locally-led and run Peace Bridges team provides training in peace building and conflict resolution, aiming to reduce domestic and other forms of social violence. They begin with individuals and families and as they are reconciled, they become trainers of others. Over the last 20 years more than 4,000 people have been trained in community peacebuilding.

2. Building New Homes After Floods - Vietnam (Tax Deductible)
In September 2024, the biggest typhoon in 70 years, hit the northern region of Vietnam and caused heavy downfalls, gusts, landslides, flooding and deaths. The mammoth task of rebuilding continues.
Our team members Mark and Ngoc partner with a Hmong village in northern Vietnam, providing pastoral support and encouragement. The village experienced incredible loss, was under water for over a week, roads and infrastructure were destroyed and 25 families lost their homes and livelihoods from landslides. The families are still living in temporary tents and the local community has helped gather food and supplies.
As an expression of love for this community we want to provide funds to help rebuild as many homes as possible, providing simple but sturdy structures, with wood provided by the local village and covering the cost of carpenters’ labour and supplies.

3. Church Leader Training - Zambia and Zimbabwe
Churches, communities and theological colleges are eager to share the love of Jesus and equip people in theological training to support emerging leaders, pastors and faithful followers of Jesus in communities across Zambia and Zimbabwe.
For many years Baptist Mission Australia has been partnering with Baptist colleges and churches to train women and men to support the growing local church. In 2025, we are excited to enhance this partnership to support a ‘train the trainer’ model with the goal of increasing locally-led theological training. Through this, more African Christian leaders are equipped and resourced to strengthen the church.
Local leaders are being inspired and equipped to develop more local leaders in culturally appropriate ways. The impact for the church and communities in Africa is growing.
