What kind of mission is it that has sponsored almost 400 majority world leaders through their doctoral studies, published hundreds of book titles and seven Bible Commentaries in the first language of their authors and is training tens of thousands in how to read, teach and preach the Bible in their own language?

McGilvray is also chair of the Australian branch. https://www.sightmagazine.com.au/features/19234-serving-the-majority-world-how-the-langham-partnership-is-working-to-develop-mature-christians-across-asia-africa-and-latin-america-with-an-australian-twist

Chris interviewed Paul Roe in late January anticipating his soon to be published memoir. Paul recounts some of his forty plus years discovering the remarkable stories of the unsung and the overlooked people of the outback.

Jo and I (Chris) are enjoying our second year at Milsons Point in Sydney having come through a period where COVID itself was among the least of the challenges. I continue teaching international students how to integrate Christian character into their career choice at Excelsia College, while Jo manages the communication team for the uniquely Australian initiative, Baptist World Aid.

And I have recently returned from visiting Noosa Heads in Queensland – with border open at last a first chance to visit family members since March 2020.
