There is a proverb that is attributed to African origins that says, “it takes a village to raise a child”, we believe the same about reaching the nations with the life-transforming Good News of Jesus!

Christians need to go and live in communities around the world, building relationships and sharing with those who are still to hear about Jesus in a meaningful way. However, we do not believe they should do this in isolation. Sending someone cross-culturally requires a team of people, and those who serve in Australia are just as vital as those who go and live in the communities overseas. Those involved in recruiting, equipping, training, and supporting those who are serving cross-culturally, all make a critical contribution to sending someone overseas and keeping them there. Centres also play a key role in many of these activities and so ensuring that these places are well kept and in good order is another key task to reaching the unreached.

FAQs
Do I need to have overseas experience to volunteer?
No, whilst overseas experience is helpful for some roles, having previous experience overseas does not stop you from volunteering to serve in Australia.
Do I need to become a member of WEC to volunteer?
There are some roles that do require this, but there are other options for membership for roles that do not require it:
• Volunteer: someone who helps on an ad hoc basis.

• Associate: someone who has completed a full orientation and volunteers regularly, but is not expected to fulfil some of the commitments of a full member.

What kind of time commitment do I need to give?
It depends on the role you volunteer for; some can be done on an ad hoc basis, while others require a more regular commitment.
Do I need to come to a WEC centre to volunteer?
This depends on the role you volunteer to do. Gardening etc. will require you to come to a centre, but admin or video editing could be done from your home, for refugee visiting you will visit them in their homes.

Migrant, refugee and Asylum seeker Ministry in Australia
The nations are coming here to Australia, and so WEC Australia seeks to reach such people in these communities in our own county too. In the past many of these peoples have been really difficult to access and there have been many obstacles to share with them. Now we have access to these peoples with less obstacles here in Australia, so building relationships with refugees and migrants, and helping them to come to know Jesus is another key way to build God’s Kingdom.

It takes people to fulfil these roles, and their involvement is essential. Are you someone who wants to join the team and reach the nations from Australia?
