Since the early 1970's when our first mission began in Fiji, the Revival Centres have been thankful for the opportunity to take the gospel all over the world.

Our 'mission fields' have been most rewarding as they are often at the forefront of rapid growth in numbers of people receiving the gospel.

Baptism at Lumi, PNG, August 2001

The opportunity for some of us to have got 'up close and personal' as masses of people have been filled with the Holy Spirit during a prayer meeting, and to witness hundreds being baptised in the sea in one go, is not something we will soon forget.

How do our missions work?

From the start our emphasis has been on equipping local people to run their own assemblies. We have no standing "missionaries" as such, preferring to train and encourage the locals in the gospel and in church leadership, at the same time endeavouring to avoid a "paternalistic" approach.

Sissano Assembly Meeting at Wipom, Papua New Guinea, August 1998

We do strongly support and encourage our brothers and sisters in the "mission fields" by regular visits, and where financially possible, by bringing groups over to our main annual convention in Australia in June each year.

Visits are made by pastors and officers as part of an ongoing program of support, but also by groups of assembly members and young peoples groups. These visits are rewarding - both for the 'first world' visitors and their 'third world' hosts.
