Important Announcement
Dear Friends,
Earlier this year, many of you heard from me as I stepped into the role of Interim CEO. I want to sincerely thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and continued support during this season. Your faithfulness to the mission of Bible League as partners in this ministry is inspiring.
I’m humbled to now serve as the permanent CEO of Bible League Australia & New Zealand, following four rewarding years as a trustee on the Board. It is a privilege to lead an organisation so passionately committed to sharing the life-changing power of God’s Word.
My heart is to see the under-resourced Church equipped with the tools and training needed to bring transformation through Scripture. We believe that when people encounter God’s Word, lives are changed and true hope is born.
As we move forward, I’m excited to continue building on the foundation of our key programs: Project Philip, Church Planter Training, Bible-based Literacy and Local Ministry Initiatives. These discipleship programs are vital to reaching those who need the Gospel most.
Your partnership is essential. Through your prayers, generosity, and support, you help make this work possible. Together, we are advancing the Kingdom in powerful ways. I invite you to continue walking with us—in prayer, in support, and in shared vision—as we seek to see lives transformed by the living Word of God.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Dave Pauling
CEO, Bible League Australia & New Zealand
