On 19-21 March, 2012 an Emerging Indigenous Christian Leaders Gathering called ‘Grasstree Gathering’  is happening at Belgrave Heights in Melbourne. This much needed national, non-denominational event is being planned and led by Indigenous Christian leaders and hosted by Jisas wantaim. It will specifically focus on supporting, training and networking for emerging Aboriginal and Islander leaders:

• Build a support and communication network amongst young Indigenous Christian leaders
• Offer theological and community development training and equipping
• Encourage and empower new and existing Indigenous ministry workers
• Provide a unique platform for emerging Indigenous Christian communicators
• Explore pathways for the wider church to partner with Indigenous ministries
• Include representation from marginalised communities
