26th Annual Tinsley Lecture

Migrant Dreams:
Generational Factors & Gospel Opportunity

Jeri Jones Sparks

Parramatta Baptist Church or Livestream
September 1, 2025

In a nation continually reshaped by migration, what dreams do migrants carry — and how do these aspirations shape the faith journeys of their children and grandchildren? Explore Australia’s complex multicultural story and the contemporary challenges of intercultural ministry. Drawing on stories from South Asian cultures, this lecture explores how understanding generational dynamics can equip the church to engage migrants more thoughtfully, share the gospel more effectively, and participate faithfully in God’s unfolding mission in a diverse Australia.

Join us for the 26th Annual Tinsley Lecture, featuring Jeri Jones Sparks, the ministry director of the Good News Series, speaking about reaching South Asian people in multicultural Australia.
