Communities where Christ is least known
Children and Youth
Traditionally a Christian nation with freedom of religion, Australia is becoming increasingly secularised. The dominant ideology has become an individualistic, New Age, "pick-and-choose spirituality" with no accountability. While roughly two-thirds of Australians identify themselves in some way as Christian, only 8% regularly attend church. There is also an increasingly antagonistic attitude, including in the media, towards the church and its perceived intolerance and authoritarianism.
Immigrants, Refugees, Overseas Students, Tourists
With 28% of the population born overseas, and more than 1.3 million overseas university students, Australia is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. These immigrants and students have brought a wide variety of religions with them. At the same time, sometimes they are more responsive to the Gospel than are people in their birth countries. Communities where Christ is least known include Jews, Malays, Sinhalese, Arabs, Iraqis, Turks, Japanese, Thai, Khmers, Bosnians, Persians, Kurds, Afghans, Hazaras, and Pashtuns.
Prayers
Pray for Australian Christians to be bold witnesses, demonstrating the love of Christ to those who oppose them, and to be revived once again in their faith to cross barriers to make Christ known.
