There are many excellent and under-acknowledged Christian organisations established by Australians or involving Australians working to improve lives of people right across the world.

A selection of these agencies is listed below.

The listing focuses predominately on aid agencies established by Australian Christians providing assistance to people in every corner of the world.   And of course, right here in Australia, every Christian church will be providing aid in various forms within their respective local communities.

Not only can we assist these organisations, but also by their example they can provide encouragement to us. They can help us build a humble confidence in our Christian faith.

Faith-based development: How Christian organisations can make a difference
International development work is a largely secular discipline that distances itself from faith concerns; even many faith-based groups seem to go out of their way to minimize the relationship between their religious convictions and their work. Secular groups often see faith-based agencies as “irritating marginal players” in the global development scene. But what if much of the value of these groups is exactly the result of that sense of religious mission? Contrary to popular perception, church organizations have long been major players in international development work, and that many of these organizations do take the relationship between their work and the faith that underpins it very seriously. Instead of apologizing for their faith roots and expression, they should celebrate them and recognize the value they bring to every development enterprise, secular or not.
