ABM wants to see people everywhere experience the wholeness of life God offers in Jesus Christ, and supports our partners as they participate in God's mission.

Find out more about our work:http://www.abmission.org/ As individuals and as an organisation we embrace the following values:

- Faithfulness to God. We celebrate the capacity of every person to respond to God’s love. Holding a clear Christian commitment we respect the traditions and beliefs of other faiths.
- Integrity in every aspect of our work. We pursue transparency and accountability in all matters.
- Respect for the created order and human dignity. Our mission has its basis in God’s unconditional love made known in Christ. We acknowledge our responsibility to care for Creation. We respect the dignity and vulnerability of each person and seek to emulate God’s love in our relations with others.
- Wise management of our resources. Recognising the fine balance between good stewardship and compassionate action we commit ourselves to practical, equitable and merciful outcomes.
- Creativity and hard work. We believe that innovation and resourcefulness, combined with diligence, will have a powerful and positive impact on the struggle for justice.
- Relational reciprocity. In our internal and external relationships we commit to genuine two-way engagement, shared learning, honesty and cultural sensitivity.
- Caring for and serving others. Taking our inspiration from the example of Christ who modelled love and compassion for others.

Today marks the day that ABM was established, some 176 years ago now - and the end of our 175th Celebrations. We give thanks to God for all that has been achieved in that time and for the fabulous, respectful, live-giving understanding of mission that we now share with our partners.
By flicking through our website and page you can find stories of what it means for us (ABM/AID) to share in God's mission with our friends across the world.
So much has changed, but the call to play a part in healing the world, and to respond to human need through God's promise of Love, Hope and Justice still guides what we do.
Thank you for all you have done to ensure that we've reached this significant anniversary with great hope for the future. We hope you've had the chance to be part of our 175th celebrations.
Roll on 200! :)

ABM’s 175th Anniversary Prayer

Loving God,
Friend of this ancient and beautiful land;
land we call home, land that calls us home.
Bless the Anglican Board of Mission
as we participate in your healing work.
We honour our history.
We repent of our failings.
We commit to your future.
May we nurture relationships of love.
May we craft stories of hope.
May we contribute to communities of justice.
Grant us the wisdom to hear your voice,
the courage to follow where you lead,
the humility to listen to those we encounter.
May we be blessed by those we Partner with,
and be a blessing to them.
We ask these things in the names of the three that are one.
Creator, Redeemer, Companion.
Amen.

Advent Study? We've got you covered. ABM’s CARAVAN is a book of incarnational stories based on the birth of Christ but set in an Australian landscape. Written in a way that allows it to be used as a study for groups or individuals, it will also make a wonderful gift.

CARAVAN reframes and throws new light on the stories we think we know backwards, and asks the question, “Could it have happened here and now? In Australia?” From the Annunciation to Epiphany (and a little beyond) CARAVAN is an incarnational journey into the heart of what it means to be human – and to be loved.

We hope every group and individual will choose to journey with CARAVAN! However. The study is perfect for any time of year, and we encourage you to use it during Lent 2025.

These stories touch the heart, mind and soul.

Some feedback from individuals and groups already encountering CARAVAN:

“I loved the book. So creative and eloquent but also thought-provoking about Jesus coming to any culture and time. I particularly loved the deep understanding and reverence for Indigenous Australians and hope that more of our country could understand and know this. The Aussie humour was great as well. Really good to be nudged to rethink the Christmas story for now.”

“I have bought books for myself and 14 others in the parish, and we have all enjoyed the book.”

“I’m currently halfway thru CARAVAN. I’d like to thank and congratulate Stephen and Vanessa on a stunning treatment of the Nativity stories. I have enjoyed it immensely and in fact find hard to put down. Quite the best book of its genre and the best I’ve read in a very long time! My heartfelt thanks.”

“In our study group we have been following your study, CARAVAN and we are finding it so interesting and a fresh Australian take on the stories.”

“It is a wonderful study – I led our second study this morning and it was just beautiful.”

Why not join the CARAVAN journey and be a part of something fresh, Australian and revelatory?

Only $12 a copy, with postage at $12, regardless of whether you buy one copy or 100!

Available to order online at ABM’s sales site: www.intothedesert.org

Join the CARAVAN of love and have your mind and heart expanded.

Professionally recorded ‘audio-book’ versions of all the stories are now available online at: www.youtube.com/

“The team at Ahli gave my son back to me.”

These words were uttered by the mother of a 10-year-old boy in Gaza.

Her son, Yusuf*, was struck in the abdomen by shrapnel when a missile landed near him.

With no vehicles available, she carried her son to Al Ahli Arab Hospital, where medical staff provided Yusuf with the emergency treatment needed to save his life.

"The team at Ahli gave my son back to me," she said through tears when she saw Yusuf finally walk without assistance.

"They did not only perform surgery—they restored our hope. I will never forget the compassion they showed us.”

In the Holy Land, your compassion continues to save lives like Yusuf's, supporting the vital work of Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza and St Luke’s Hospital in the West Bank.

During the 12 months from September 2025 to August 2026, the two hospitals have treated approximately 6000 patients amidst exceptionally difficult circumstances.

Supported by a global network of partners led by Anglican Alliance and The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, this is what your collective giving makes possible.

🙏Thank you so much for your generous support of this vital work, and your ongoing prayers for the people of the Holy Land

PRAYER FOR MYANMAR (Ordinary Sunday 30A)
Based on Ps 90

Take pity on your servants, Lord,
your servants who live under a military coup,
for you are our refuge,
from generation to generation.
Fill them with your mercy,
so that day after day they may sing with joy.
Give delight for adversity,
and remove affliction from among them.

Let the people of Myanmar
know the good things that you do,
whether young or old
let them see your splendid love for them.

May your blessing be upon them,
and may whatever they do thrive.

In faith we pray to you, O Lord,
we pray to you, the rock of our salvation.
Amen.

PRAYER FOR MYANMAR (Ordinary Sunday 29A)
Based on Ps 99.4

Almighty God,
king over all the earth and lover of justice,
we pray that you would rise up
and move people’s hearts and minds
to bring equity, righteousness and fairness
to the world.

We pray you, guide and help those
who seek to bring liberation and peace
to those places where people’s lives are marred
by conflict and contest -
to the Palestinians and the Israelis in the Holy Land,
to the Ukrainians and the Russians in Europe,
to those involved in the civil war in Sudan,
to the people of Myanmar with its military dictatorship,
and to all places where freedom and peace are desperately needed.

We ask this through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Thank you so much Brighton Grammar School community!

At the end of Term 3, the Melbourne school held a fundraiser at their house athletics event and raised an incredible $4000 for the Martyrs Gift, supporting adult literacy programs in Papua New Guinea 🙏

"Year 9 to 12 students brought baked goods and confectionery to sell at stalls, along with soft drinks, cooked bacon rolls and sausages," said Mark Sainsbery, Head of History and one of the event organisers.

"This year there was a return of the International Students and Parents food stall, after a few years absence, as international parents and boys raised money selling their cultural delicacies (including quail eggs, spring rolls and dumplings), which sold very well.

This event and its success again rekindled a connection that stretched back to the 1960s, when Brighton Grammar boys first visited Papua New Guinea to work on projects benefiting Martyrs School."

❤️ Thank you Brighton Grammar School for your amazing efforts - your generosity is a testament to your deep ties with Papua New Guinea, and to the generous community-minded spirit of the school.
