BIMI has 15 church planting families serving in Australia or on deputation to go there. This work started over 30 years ago. These families have planted indigenous churches in the states of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Victoria, as well as on the Island of Tasmania. Bible institutes and colleges have been established to train those entering the ministry. Some of these churches have started their own Christian day schools. Youth and family camps are always popular with the believers. By cooperating together with other independent Baptist churches, these have been able to see some Australian missionaries raise support to go to other countries.
