AUSTRALIANS IN MISSION TOGETHER

About

AMT (Australians in Mission Together) is a 115-year-old Christian mission organization serving as the mission arm of CCCAust (Churches of Christ Australia). They support approximately 160 missionary units worldwide through pastoral care, practical support, and financial distribution, focusing on evangelism, church planting, Bible teaching, and leadership training.

Giving Philosophy

AMT operates on a faith-based partnership model where churches and individuals provide financial support for missionaries, which AMT then distributes. They emphasize strong accountability between sending churches and workers, requiring church endorsement for all candidates. Their approach includes matching grants (such as the Train the Trainer Fund with dollar-for-dollar matching from the Lilian Thelma Dutton bequest) and mission grants for specific projects including Bible translation, leadership training, church planting, and capital expenditures.

Tips for Applicants

Only AMT-supported missionaries can apply for mission grants - this is not open to general applicants. Candidates must be endorsed by a CCCAust church or Australian Brethren assembly, demonstrating a sound relationship with their sending church for accountability. AMT emphasizes that ultimate authority rests with the local church, and direction follows consultation with AMT and field leadership. Applications are assessed by the AMT Grant Committee through a formal assessment and approval process.
