Though South Asian cultures are diverse, many use a similar word for truth: satya. The SATYA Network invites you to keep growing in your understanding and love for the largest group of Aussie migrants in the 2020s. Set aside Saturday 7 September 2024 to be challenged about the need for holistic discipleship in order to share Jesus (Yesu) with the incoming South Asian tide to Australia.
Speakers: Dr Malcolm Gill (keynote), Clive Buultjens and Bishop Peter Lin

H!ndu Values (Clive Buultjens)
Your first Satya Conference? This is the seminar for you. Learn how to avoid the mistake of evangelising South Asian friends by bombarding them with Christian ideas. Understand how the H!ndu values of community and experience shape how we share the gospel and disciple H!ndu background believers.
Refresh your Mission Methods (Bishop Peter Lin & Ben George)
Just because it worked before doesn’t mean it always will. We can be hesitant to change our mission strategies and methods because of past fruit and familiarity. Our local mission field looks more South Asian than ever before, so we need to think creatively about evangelism. This elective is for vocational gospel workers and team leaders within churches and Christian organisations.
Craft an Evangelistic Talk for South Asians (Joseph Jones & Jeri Jones Sparks)
The public proclamation of the gospel always needs to be faithful, cohesive, and clear. In the changing Aussie landscape, it also needs to be compelling and avoid unnecessary offence for South Asian hearers. Dad and daughter duo share their learnings from the development of a South Asian evangelism course and help you workshop your own talk outline and illustrations.
Common Questions H!ndus ask about Jesus and Christianity (Priya Morgan & friends)
Most apologetics resources will give you insight about the Western secular individualist’s questions but the perspective of someone from the H!ndu world has particular nuances. Hear from a panel of H!ndu background believers on the questions they had on their journey towards Jesus and things that under God helped them draw near to him.
