[edit] Life

• Secularism and a pursuit of leisure, pleasure and wealth characterize Australia. Although 68% of Australians claim to be Christian, negative attitudes towards authority and tradition make it hard for the average man in the street to see the gospel as meaningful or the church as relevant. There is widespread interest in spirituality, but people are not turning to the churches to explore it. Pray that many might find solutions to life's problems and find their identity in a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

• Less reached peoples are found both among the indigenous Aborigines, the many post-war migrants and the 6.5 million of non-British origin–both Australian-born and immigrants. Pray for those local churches with an active ministry to such cultural communities and also for the work of local congregations and other agencies among the European minorities.
