Across is a ministry of SIM Australia covering a range of local cross-cultural initiatives with diaspora communities: refugees, migrants, and international students in locations across the country.
Ministry programmes include sport, English classes, student outreaches, social events, Bible studies and, for refugees, therapy gardens and counselling.
Across programmes may also extend to online Bible study and discipleship groups which reach into the home countries of the diaspora, through their extended families and communities in those countries, as well as potential visits to such locations.
