For over 50 years, Power to Change (the Australian arm of Campus Crusade for Christ International) has been passionately sharing Jesus’ message right here in Australia. Globally, our reach is vast, with 16,000 missionaries in 190 countries, all dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission.
Now, we’re stepping into an incredibly exciting new phase! Our National Director, Geoff Folland, shares more about this bold vision in his endorsement video below. As you’ll see, we believe God is calling us to amplify our impact like never before, and I’m personally seeking financial partners to make it all possible.
My future ministry role, contingent on raising the necessary support, will focus on building key partnerships to supercharge our efforts across two key focus areas – the JESUS film and serving on the National LIFE Team:
Animated JESUS Film for a New Generation
Remember how we partnered with churches in the ’90s to distribute 750,000 JESUS videos across Australia? This time, our faith goal for Australia is even bolder: to reach 3-5 million children and young families! We aim to achieve this by partnering with over 10,000 churches and 3,000 schools, bringing the timeless story of Jesus to a whole new generation through a vibrant animated film.
Globally, the challenge and opportunity is even greater! How can we inspire millions to reach the billions who have not yet heard the good news of Jesus in their own heart language?
Today, whilst 1.2 billion people around the world identify as Christians, this still leaves 5.4 billion who have not heard the good news about Jesus – most of these are illiterate, and most are young. We believe we are called to bring the new animated JESUS as our gift to the global body of Christ, so they have a tool to reach the lost.
National LIFE Team
Power to Change (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ Australia) was founded in 1967 by Rev. Geoff Fletcher. Today, we have approximately 160 staff serving across six ministry areas: Campus, Youth, Church Movements, Global Aid, Digital Strategies, and the JESUS Film. Globally, Campus Crusade has 16,000 staff serving in approx. 190 countries.
To provide an indication of Power to Change’s impact, in 2024, by God’s grace we saw over 11,000 people exposed to the gospel, more than 1,100 indicate a decision to follow Jesus and engaged over 1,600 people in small or one-to-one discipleship groups.
However, the ministry sees the opportunity to accelerate this work through the establishment of a team, the National LIFE team, sitting behind the six ‘frontline’ ministries, to support the growth of these ministries by doing deputation work for Power to Change, creating partnerships (i.e. collaboration) between Power to Change and individual Christians, churches and other Christian organisations, for greater impact both locally and globally.
At Power to Change, LIFE Partners + missionaries are the crucial partnership that enables us together to help fulfil the Great Commission, with LIFE standing for Labour, Influence, Finance and Expertise. Take one – i.e. either LIFE Partners or missionaries – of these out of the equation, and ministry simply cannot take place!
I am excited by the opportunities presented by the twin aspects of my role, which I can easily anticipate to be involved in for the decade ahead, and I can’t wait to start.
Would you prayerfully consider an ongoing financial partnership with Power to Change to help me commence and continue in this exciting ministry? Your partnership is essential to achieving these goals.
