What is Across?

Across Ministries is local cross-cultural mission, as our workers share the Good News of Jesus with ethnic communities in Australia, such as migrants, refugees and university students.

SIM’s focus is to equip and send out cross-cultural mission workers globally. In Australia, there is a growing number of communities who have never heard the Gospel and are living amongst us today. To faithfully reach the least reached in our own backyard, SIM Australia has developed this local ministry.

Across is focused on supporting Christian diaspora and cross-cultural workers to reach out to different least reached ethnic communities living in Australia.

– Alan Millhouse, Across Ministries Lead

The strategy of Across is to enable workers who share backgrounds similar to the communities the church is trying to reach, so that language and cultural barriers can be easily overcome.

Through Across, SIM supports and partners with local churches as they implement ministries to reach out cross-culturally in their communities. This helps Christians engage with migrants in various settings, including universities, counselling and sports.
