FOR YOUR GIFT OF ANY AMOUNT

This month, our ministry spotlight is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people group of Australia, whom Leading The Way is actively reaching through radio programs, Navigators, and strategic discipleship events. Please join us in prayer for our ministry work in Australia—that God would save many lost souls through His living Gospel message.

AUSTRALIA AT A GLANCE:

  • Population: 649,171 people (3.3% of the Australian population)
  • Languages: English and Aboriginal dialects
  • Religion: 80% professing Christian
  • Current Status: "The indigenous population in Australia is the oldest known culture in the world and one into which the Gospel has flourished. There is a great need for Gospel partnerships to disciple people in remote parts of the country and support churches in regional areas." — CHRIS MAKIN, DIRECTOR OF LEADING THE WAY AUSTRALIA

LEADING THE WAY IN AUSTRALIA:

  • Radio programs airing 6,469 times a week + TV programs on 7 major networks
  • Solar-powered Navigator audio Bibles, a vital discipleship tool in communities where there is no pastor
  • Events and conferences equipping pastors to disciple the indigenous community

FEEDBACK FROM AUSTRALIAN VIEWERS:

"I was listening to Leading The Way outside a supermarket when a young Aboriginal lad sitting nearby told me he listens to Michael on the radio. . . . How happy I was to hear firsthand how the Word of God is going out in the Aboriginal community!" LEADING THE WAY LISTENER, AUSTRALIA

"There are many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia who look forward to hearing Dr. Michael Youssef bring God's Word to their homes through the television each week. Bible Truth is not watered down or held back. This kind of ministry is so needed in our country." – TONY RICHES, CEO OF ABORIGINAL EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP

Prayer: Lord, I pray that many come to know the Truth of Your Gospel through Leading The Way's work with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Australia. I ask for their hearts to be softened to Your Truth. Raise up even more leaders to disciple new believers and help them grow in Christ. May Your Gospel continue to flourish among this people group, for Your glory! I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
