In other parts of Our Site, you may be required to provide information for certain purposes, including registering for a service, completing a transaction, making a donation, sending correspondence, purchasing or ordering a product or gaining access to a portion of the Site or a Service. Any information you provide to the Site is governed by our Privacy Policy.

7.2 Accuracy of Personal Information
In operating our Site, we seek to provide valuable information, and we value accurate and honest communication.

As part of your use, you agree to maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide and to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site, and to refuse any and all current or future access to, or use of, the Site and the Service.

7.3 Use by Minors
We do not collect personal information from children under the age of 13 beyond what is necessary for them to participate in our online or other activities, such as registering for a conference or downloading materials. If we discover that we have accidentally collected personal information from a child below the age of 13, we will delete it from our records as soon as reasonably possible.

If a child, under the age of 16 in the EEA, or under the age of 13 elsewhere, attempts to register with one of our Digital Tools, purchase products or materials, or participate in an activity requiring the submittal of personally identifiable information, a parent or guardian must give permission and consent for that child to provide information and register. The only personal information we collect from a child is information that is necessary for the child to participate in activities, such as an address for making a purchase. Parents have the right to request at any time that the information collected about their child is removed from our database.

A parent of any minor providing information to our Site can:

(a) Ask to review any personal information about his/her child that we may have collected at the Site; and/or

(b) Request that we delete this information (if we still have the information in our databases).

If you are a parent and wish to exercise this right, simply contact us at the contact information listed on the site and provide your child’s log-in name and proof of your identity in relationship to the child. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy Statement.

In the absence of parental permission, you certify by using the Site or any part of the Service, that you are at least 16 years of age.

8.4 Ownership in Posted Material
By uploading or communicating any materials, ideas or submissions to any of our Site, including any Forum, or submitting any materials to us in any other manner, you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such materials expressly granted) to us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and display, create derivative works from and distribute such materials, or to incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed.

Sydney is an important location as it is the base for our youth team and our humanitarian partner, GAiN.
We also have a number of people working on various uni campuses in Sydney.

We believe they can achieve even greater things if they are housed together. Having to move 13 times in the last 20 years is disruptive, and so we are committed to creating a Sydney Mission Hub to grow our movement.

 

We will soon have a Sydney Mission Hub in Merrylands, Sydney.

It is wonderful to announce that we met our $300,000 gap.
On August 3rd we bought the property.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Thank you so much to everyone who donated.

It is not too late however to make a tax-deductible donation.

Who we are

Who is Power to Change?

Power to Change is a not-for-profit, non-denominational, Christian organisation, originally founded in USA and established in Australia in 1967. We have over 140 full-time workers across Australia. 

Our Statement of Faith can be found here. We are part of an international network known as Cru or Cru Global.

In Australia, we work with university students, high school students, churches, and families to connect people to Jesus and each other. We send regular mission teams to a number of other countries to demonstrate the love of Christ through aid and community development. 

Our Headquarters is in Melbourne, with offices in Sydney and Brisbane.

We have one purpose – To help fulfil the Great Commission in Australia and beyond.

We have one process – connect, build and send multiplying disciples.

We have four major priorities – students, churches, leaders and digital.

Do we share our faith?

In Power to Change we do believe that verbally communicating Jesus' story, and how God has worked in our lives through him, is important. Such communication provides options for people.

We also believe that such communications should be appropriate (to the person, culture and situation) and show respect to appropriate authorities and individuals.

We do not proselytize or coerce. Like many churches and Christian organisations we affirm with World Vision that, “In all ways appropriate for all our local contexts, we seek to witness to Christ — through our deeds of love and mercy, the character and conduct of our people, and through our words of testimony.” (from http://www.worldvision.org/our-impact/our-faith-in-action on Jan 11, 2016)

We believe that all people have a free will, deserve respect and have the right to choose belief systems. Respecting individuals includes cultures, faiths and beliefs. We do not proselytize. We do not exploit vulnerability to obtain a profession of faith.

  • "Passing the Baton the Next Generation"

                               ~ Jonathon Kilchester, a missionary with the Campus Ministry                          Passing the baton to the next generation Let me reintroduce you to Harry. He is one of the students I have been discipling at Monash uni for the past 3 years or so. Last year he graduated and has since joined as a missionary with Power to Change! As I have taken on the Global Missions Director role with Power to Change Australia, I have had to step back a little further from my on-campus ministry (though I still plan to engage with the basics of evangelism and discipleship on campus). I have been on Monash uni now for 10 years. But what I'm thrilled about is that I can now pass the baton on to Harry,…

  • Stories and Reflections

    ~ Jackie Kim, a missionary from the Campus Ministry   In October, I went to Melbourne with 7 other new campus missionaries for training. It was amazing!    Follow up... Last time I wrote, we were celebrating answered prayers of God bringing spiritually-open, non-Christian students who wanted to meet again. I actually got to follow-up with a couple of them which was pretty exciting! We continued reading the Bible with Miles and looked at Jesus’ crucifixion in Mark. I was so amazed when after the study Miles could explain the whole thing clearly in his own words (including reasoning for Jesus’ death). We’re still not sure he believes it for himself but he seems to like meeting up with us every week! We also met with Emily, who shared her life story with us for almost 2 hours! I was a bit disappointed at the lack of Jesus in our…

  • Where will we stay? Mary asked...

    "Where will we stay?" Mary asked. "We'll find somewhere" Joseph replied.   He sounded more confident than he felt. The uncertainty of their accommodation was in contrast to the certainty of his reception from his relatives. They'd disowned him for the shame of marrying this pregnant girl. They hadn't listened to his dream. Still, in obedience to Caesar's decree, and to a greater calling that they were only beginning to understand, they wound their way along the well-worn path.

  • Fruitful Church Planting!

    Imagine planting five house churches in four years. This is what Poh Choo and her husband Phil have done in Melbourne through the Basic Church network under the umbrella of Churches of Christ. Poh Choo is also a missionary with Power to Change serving with me in the Church Movements team. Poh Choo's motivation to get involved in planting house churches was her passion for disciplemaking. "In Basic Church, we keep programs really low and emphasis training our people to be a disciple of Jesus," Poh Choo explained. This focus is shaped around loving God, loving others, and making disciples. "We focus on developing a personal relationship with God, learning to hear from and obey Him. We seek to love, care, pray for one another, and then reach out to the lost. Disciplemaking is in our DNA. Part of our culture is that everyone who comes to Basic Church will…

  • God's Story!

    - By Stuart Brownscombe, Youth MInistry   At the end of Term 2 (before Sydney went into lockdown), the younger Bible Study group were exploring the big picture of God’s story. We had started in Genesis and were making our way through Exodus. The topic for that afternoon: The Ten Commandments.   I explained the setting to the students, that God had rescued his chosen people from Egypt and was now telling them how they were to live as His people. Miles was surprised by this. He asked how people were supposed to know how to live before God had given them the commandments. We turned to the book of Romans where Paul says that the law is written on our hearts and our consciences.

  • Our Amazing Finance Team

    - Geoff Folland: National Leader-Strategic Engagement       After 25 years on campus in Sydney, I moved to Melbourne last Easter to take up a national leadership role. I'd always enjoyed sitting across the table from a student, having a laugh, and engaging with God's Word together. It was a privilege to see God at work before my eyes.  But I was always aware of those quiet servants in our HQ who processed our finances, tracked down insurance policies to cover our events or processed new missionary applications. Our work on campus - or in schools, churches and the community, couldn't happen without them.  Almost all of them raise financial support to serve in mission this way. We praise God for these servant-hearted missionaries. We need three important roles (salaried, 1 supported).      These are the roles that are so important to us: 1. Experienced Finance Officer2. Major Partners Manager3. IT Manager If you know anyone who might be suitable…
