Susanna Baldwin
Wycliffe Bible Translators in Australia’s Northern Territory
Susanna joined Bishop Hannington (BH) as a young adult in 2004 and enjoyed a formative time in her Christian growth, before relocating to Sydney in 2009. It was at BH that Susanna first heard about the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators, though it would be several more years before she felt convicted that God was calling her to serve in this ministry.
Susanna works in Australia’s Northern Territory, supporting Bible translation among the many Indigenous language communities of the 'Top End'. Her main project is a new English translation of the Bible called the Plain English Version (PEV), which is written in the unique dialect of English spoken by multilingual Indigenous Australians.

Nelson, Marcia, Camilla & Andre Salviano
​
Escale, Brazil
​The ESCALE programme, meaning 'School for Equipping Christian Leaders', operates in remote regions of Brazil and takes theological training to those who most need it but can least afford it.
It focuses on in situ training courses at weekends, with the aim of strengthening grassroots pastors to plant and grow healthy churches that will have an impact on the deprived communities they serve.
​Nelson and his team have built this significant work that has touched the lives of thousands of grassroots leaders and their churches among growing but impoverished communities. It has been encouraging to hear that many once untrained Pastors are now planting as pasturing churches in regions that there were none.

Off The Fence, Brighton & Hove 
'Our History: A Mission to End Poverty in Brighton & Hove
Off The Fence exists to break the cycle of poverty in Brighton & Hove—restoring hope, empowering people, and resisting social and spiritual poverty.
It began in 1993 when our CEO, Paul Young, felt called to act after being asked, “When are Christians going to get off the fence and do something about social poverty?”
With just sleeping bags, hot drinks, and compassion, Paul and his wife Wendy began supporting rough sleepers. By 1997, Off The Fence became a registered charity, and has since expanded into the three core programmes of today:
  • Antifreeze: Supporting people experiencing homelessness.
  • Gateway: Empowering at-risk women toward crisis-free futures.
  • Schools & Youth: Helping young people build resilience and self-worth.
Poverty is complex—but through relationships, community, and faith, we’re committed to building a city where everyone belongs and no one is left behind.'

New Growth Ministries
Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe
​New Growth Ministries (NGM) was set up in 1992 by The Mackenzies in Zimbabwe with the aim of being Christ’s hands in action in the community. Hilary grew up attending BH, giving their work a strong link to the church. Caring for children orphaned or disadvantaged through HIV was seen to be a priority and a childrens’ home was set up on a farm in the north of the country. The home cares for around 20 boys, and provides a warm, loving family environment. Those who gain suitable grades are supported to go on to further education. The ministry is also facilitating outreach into local schools, led by one of the home’s alumni. Since they retired, Mark Mackenzie and Ben Kasimukire have taken up responsibility for continuing the good work.
