Mission Exposure Week: A Transformative Experience

We’re thrilled to share the incredible experiences our students had during Mission Exposure Week! This year, we sent out three dedicated teams to dive into real-world ministry and make a meaningful impact.

Team One: Oberon Anglican Parish
One team travelled 13 hours to Oberon Anglican Parish in rural NSW, where they were warmly welcomed by our own BST alumnus, Rev. Jonny Lush. They experienced a close-up view of rural church life and saw how the parish is growing in faith and numbers under Jonny’s guidance. From pastoral visits and performances at a local nursing home to engaging conversations with locals, this experience offered valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of rural ministry.

Team Two: Oasis Church, Brisbane
In Brisbane, another team was hosted by BST alumnus Stephen Khu at Oasis Church. Their week was packed with outreach activities, including teaching Religious Instruction (RI) in schools, supporting chaplains, and participating in youth and life group ministries. They also shared their personal testimonies and insights with the church community, providing a vibrant look into urban ministry.

Team Three: Power to Change at UQ and QUT
The final team partnered with Power to Change at the University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology, guided by alumnus Lo-wei. They focused on building relationships with international students, sharing the love of God, and spreading the gospel message. Their week was filled with meaningful conversations that extended warmth and friendship, sparking important dialogues about faith.

Our students returned encouraged. These trips are a key part of our curriculum, offering real-world ministry experience and preparing them for their future roles in Christian service. We’re grateful for the support from our alumni and the warm reception from the communities that hosted our teams.
