The Church & Mental Health in Australia
Over the past 9 months, NAYBA has been conducting a pioneering piece of research into the Australian Church's response to mental health.
Informed by interviews with over 40 church leaders, mental health experts, theologians, and individuals with lived experience, we pray the results will be a source of encouragement and a call to action.
Helping Churches Transform Neighbourhoods
Jesus told us all to love our neighbour, and that's exactly what we help churches to do.
NAYBA (pronounced "neighbour") is a network of Christians from across the breadth of the Australian Church with a vision to see the Body of Christ come together in unity to serve those in need and help transform our communities, cities and the nation.
In pursuit of this vision, we help to measure the collective social impact of the faith community, provide a menu of best-practice projects ready for replication, and mobilise the Church on some of the key social issues of our time.
Good News Deserves To Be Shared
As Christians, we're often asked: “How is the Church actually making a difference?” We know we’re called to love our neighbour as ourselves and, across our nation, there are countless examples of local churches and everyday Christians doing just that.
But how do we capture and quantify the ways that faith is having a positive impact in the community? How do we celebrate the ‘good news of the good works’ of the Church, while also identifying gaps and opportunities to even better serve people in need?
We want to tell a new story about what it means to be a follower of Jesus and we need your help. Get in touch with us now and share the good works of your church or ministry.
NAYBA Impact Audit
NAYBA har udviklet et værktøj til at måle og formidle den fælles sociale indsats udført af trossamfund og trosbaserede organisationer i en by eller en region. Vi kalder det NAYBA Impact Audit.
NAYBA Danmark har for netop gennemført en sådan undersøgelse i Aarhus, og resultaterne viser, at de trosbaserede fællesskaber har et stort hjerte for byen og dens borgere. Dette ses både ud af antallet af indsatser, der adresserer aktuelle sociale udfordringer, samt det fortsatte engagement på områder, der er helt centrale for lokalsamfundet.
