For over 110 years, AMT has been partnering with churches to educate, motivate and facilitate Christians for global mission.
AMT is a comprehensive service organisation caring for Christian workers sent out from CCCAust and Australian churches of Brethren heritage.
AMT provides pastoral care and practical helps to workers across the globe in every continent and seeks to educate local churches of their responsibility in world mission.
AMT believes that every ethnic group must be reached with the good news of Jesus Christ and that the Lord's Great Commission is the shared responsibility of all Christians.
As the mission arm of CCCAust, AMT currently supports 160 missionary units worldwide. To find and connect with a CCCAust church near you, please click the button below:
OUR VISION
AMT's vision must be refocused in order to be most effective in contributing our part to fulfilling the Great Commission. We must be relevant to the geopolitical and religious realities of the 21st century. We want a strategic approach to equipping and sending workers, cooperating with the elders of local assemblies and supporting our workers practically.
In Australia, AMT represents a worldwide fellowship of workers who are engaged in evangelism, church planting and Bible teaching, along with Bible translation, education, medical care and training of nationals in Christian ministries.
AMT also maintains links between CCCAust and Australian churches of Brethren heritage and all workers from those churches who serve cross-culturally in mission through other evangelical agencies.
By faith, AMT and the churches look to the Lord to provide the needs of the workers in their joint care. AMT receives gifts from churches and individuals and distributes these monies in the support of workers. Supporters are kept informed of workers’ prayer needs. AMT assists in induction and orientation training, pastoral care and re-entry/re-settlement.
AMT considers strong links between the worker and sending church as being essential. Therefore, AMT recognises and accepts a candidate only when the relationship between sending church and prospective worker demonstrates a sound basis for responsibility and accountability.
Recognising that ultimate authority rests with the local church, it is expected that direction to the candidate or serving worker will follow consultation with AMT and with field leadership.
OUR HISTORY
There is no explicit mention of the origins of AMT anywhere on the internet...
...but two-thirds of the way down Brian Meharg's About Me page there is a photo of his grandparents and this interesting sentence: "He (Hugh Meharg) arrived in Sydney in 1910 and met up with an evangelist (Mr Gerrard) and together with a horse drawn van and tent set about working their way north holding gospel meetings in the various towns they went through." So indirectly AMT is there back in 1910 on the web!
AMT is committed to the safety and equity of vulnerable people. As an organisation that works with children, we are committed to the National Child Safe Principles. We are committed to ensuring that all our volunteers and staff are appropriately screened and trained. It's important that everyone in our community is informed about their rights, participates in decisions affecting them and is taken seriously. We want families and communities to be informed and involved in promoting the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable people.
