You may recall that earlier this year the Director of our Centre for Asian Christianity, Grace Lung, reached out to ask for help in funding our Centre and its numerous projects through 2024. The response from our friends was very gratifying, and has brought us within arm’s length of our operating budget… But we’re not there yet.
As you read this, we are just under $20,000 short of our goal for the year. If you are able to help us reach that target, you will be ensuring that the CAC can continue its important work into 2025 and beyond.
So far, the gifts we have already received have helped fund a number of important projects in Australia and overseas—missions conferences, training programs, establishing significant international partnerships, and more. In fact, your support has meant we have already fulfilled almost all of our ministry and missional commitments for this year. Thank you!
But like any organisation, the Centre cannot exist without its team of staff, and space from which to conduct this work. Your tax-deductible gift today will help pay our staff for their time and dedication, meet our ongoing financial obligations, position the Centre for future ministry, and perhaps even gain a head start on next year’s projects, allowing us to do even more in 2025.
At BST, we remain firmly committed to ministry and mission in Asian contexts. Australia is uniquely positioned within the region to offer training and support in an appropriate and culturally relevant way, and ministering to Asian Christians has long been part of our DNA. Alongside the Centre for Asian Christianity, our Chinese program continues serve the local Chinese church, training pastors and lay preachers, as it has done for nearly 30 years. We recognise the importance of having a strong and united Asian church, both in Australia and overseas, and believe that, with your help, we can continue to make a Gospel impact across the globe.
Please give to help sustain our Centre for Asian Christianity and hit our $20,000 goal by the 30 September, for the sake of the Gospel.
