Are you passionate about discipleship and leadership development? Do you feel called to serve in a culturally sensitive and humble way among Indigenous communities in Outback Australia? Baptist Mission Australia invites you to join our Outback team in a unique, long-term mission opportunity focused on empowering local Indigenous believers.

Position Overview: We are seeking dedicated individuals or couples to join our team in Outback Australia. This role will focus on discipleship and leadership development, walking alongside Indigenous brothers and sisters to nurture their spiritual growth and leadership capacity. 

You will have the privilege of building deep, trusting relationships, and supporting local leaders as they grow in their faith and impact within their communities.

Key Responsibilities:

» Develop and facilitate culturally sensitive discipleship programs
» Partner with Indigenous leaders to support leadership development initiatives
» Engage in a ministry of presence, listening and learning from the community

» A passion for discipleship and nurturing spiritual growth in others

» A willingness to learn from and work alongside Indigenous leaders
» Experience in remote intercultural ministry (preferred, but not essential)

The Role: This is a long-term mission opportunity, with the possibility of serving in co-vocational roles. Whether you are an experienced disciple-maker or someone with a heart to learn, we invite you to explore whether God may be calling you to this work.

If you feel a stirring in your heart to invest in Indigenous communities and support the growth of local leaders, we’d love to hear from you.
