Partnerships
SALT (“Sport and Leadership Training”)
Our Kimberley Mission and Solomon Islands Mission is done under the SALT banner. SALT is a project of Samaritans Purse, administered by our Centre with a vision to “see transformed lives and transformed communities” We seek to do that by using the vehicle of sport to build community and to serve that community in every possible way to see lives changed.
Obviously the exact strategies employed in each community are distinct and tailored to the needs of specific communities, based on building trust and relationship.
Samaritans Purse – Operation Christmas Child
What a great ministry this is!. It was this Overseas relief effort that led to our links with the Solomon Islands in the first place. It’s also known as ‘love in a shoebox’ and, as the name implies simply involves getting a shoe box from our Centre and packing it with things recommended for the children of various countries. Some of our Centre family have seen the impact first hand when kids in far flung places open their gift.
Global Interaction
GLOBAL INTERACTION (GA) wants communities globally to experience the whole-of-life transformation which God offers, and to develop their own distinctive way of following Jesus.
We partner with GIA in this through prayer and with financial appeals during our May Mission for specific needs.
Australian Baptist World Aid
The Centre supports the work of Australian Baptist World Aid in appeals for humanitarian. We also include a project of BWA in our annual Christmas Appeal.
