AUSTRALIAN CHURCH SURVEY
Compared to all Australians, people who go to church are more likely to be a first or second generation migrant, female and tertiary educated. More than a third of Australian church attenders (36%) were born overseas, according to the latest National Church Life Survey results. Of those born overseas, 27% of churchgoers were born in a non-English speaking country.
CHRISTIAN OUTREACH TO MUSLIMS
Mission Network News reports that a coalition of Christian missions has announced a goal to reach millions of Muslims for Christ. The goal was set during a consultation in Thailand where 900 Christian leaders met to begin the outreach. The network of 180 mission organisations plans to reach the more than 1,000 Muslim people groups who have not heard the Gospel.

Wycliffe has been instrumental in translating the complete Bible into over 600 languages around the world.
