Christian Federation Australia
As you may be aware, Christian Federation has had some changes during the last year. Our founder, Peter Kentley, retired and Jamie Pryor has taken the position of leadership of Christian Federation with the purpose of further connecting, encouraging and empowering over 300 Australian Christian organisations in the marketplace, business and church. Click here for Jamie’s personal message to our readers.
Christian Federation is a coalition of Kingdom Partners encompassing individuals, churches, organisations and leaders in the community who are actively living the principles of the Kingdom of God. We celebrate, support and encourage those who have evangelistic, apostolic, pastoring hearts who see their workplace as their place of ministry to individuals and also for the good of society. Likewise, we honour the courage and conviction that Christian people have to be Christ in their daily lives and our work is to intended to benefit these people of God by introducing them to like minded peers which strengthens relationships across all disciplines and specialties in society. Through this netweaving believers with a heart for the Kingdom of God are linked to each other where strong bonds of mutual honour are formed and the work of the Lord on earth is increased and furthered.
We have met many people who are living a sincere life before the Lord but are grieved in spirit having so many ideological issues being forced on them that run counter-culture to Christian values. This vast army of precious Christians are the salt of the earth and while they may not be a leader in a domain, they have their own effective prayer life, a valuable circle of influence, and a longing to see Godliness on earth. We now have a 7-Step Action Plan. This ‘How-To’ is designed to support each and every person, leader or not, become informed and responsive to our social concerns in a Christlike way. This 7-Step Action Plan links websites, resources and ministries in a broad sweep across all the current issues. It aims to help people to identify the issue of importance to them and become educated and actively engaged to make a difference without becoming overwhelmed.
If you know of a ministry or resource that you would like promoted through our 7-Step Action Plan, please contact us here at Christian Federation.
Please note that we can advertise relevant upcoming meetings right across Australia. If you have an event coming up we’d be pleased to put it into our regular newsletter.
But right now we need some financial help to continue our function over the next year. Would you prayerfully consider if you are meant to assist. If what we have shared resonates with you, and you are in a financial position to be able to support us, we invite you to support Christian Federation with a one-off donation and/or a monthly pledge for a financial year. Here’s a link to our donation page, and any gift is received with thanks.
Finally, we invite you to share this newsletter with friends and family. If you have received this email from a friend, you can register your name and areas of interest here at no cost and receive our regular newsletter.
With kindest regards,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We thank Kingdom Investors (KI) for their generous support of Christian Federation. Kingdom Investors is a marketplace ministry with a vision to establish the world’s first Sheep Nation (Matt 25) in Australia as a benchmark for other nations. This national strategy has united Christians in the marketplace from scores of denominations. Tens of thousands of Christian business people have been taught the principles and the mechanisms to achieve this goal. Christian businesses are multiplying their revenues to fund their local churches and thereafter fund their individual or corporate assignments. Non-business people are growing their influence and their affluence. Students and young adults are channelling their gifts and passions into this vision. Collectively we are making an impact on the social distress and human misery that emulates from poor trading practices in the secular marketplace.
KI is a world leader in this concept with its founder, Dave Hodgson, lecturing all over the world at universities, economic summits, media, churches, conferences, and at the regular chapters of KI across Australia. Please join the membership site to be a part of creating a benchmark Sheep Nation so that we can eliminate human misery together and create a better world for all.
