Our Mission Partners

CMS (Church Missionary Society)

Millions of men, women and children around the world do not know Jesus. The world is growing and changing rapidly. But the gospel of Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. CMSs' vision is for a world that knows Jesus. They aim to fulfil their vision by:
  • Reaching gospel-poor peoples for Christ
  • Equipping Christian leaders for church and society
  • Engaging churches in cross-cultural mission
 
St Matthew's Anglican Church currently partners with CMS in supporting Ian and Jenny Wood. They are working with Indigenous Communities throughout the Northern Territory and are based at Nungalinga College in Darwin.

AFES (Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students)

BCA (The Bush Church Aid Society of Australia)

BCA shares the gospel, builds up the church, and cares for people all around Australia. Their Field Staff serve in regional and remote parts of Australia. Locals in these places are removed from cities, live in sparsely populated towns (sometimes as small as a few hundred people), and often don’t benefit from strong support networks of family and friends. Churches in these areas can struggle, ongoing fellowship can be hard to maintain, and encouragement can become a rarity. With a particular heart for such people, BCA - in conjunction with the various Anglican Dioceses of Australia - places Field Staff, Co-Workers and Affiliates across the continent. Whether working as pastors, teachers, evangelists, chaplains or Scripture teachers, Field Staff bring evangelism, encouragement and ministry to people in all corners of the country. It is their deep desire and prayer that people throughout Australia would bow their knee to Jesus, be transformed by God’s word, and live their lives to His glory. St Matthew's currently partners with BCA in supporting Roger and Amanda Kyngdom and their four children at Newamn in Norht West Western Australia.
