About Power To Change Australia.
We have been building sustainable movements that see people connected to
Jesus, built in their faith and sent out to do the same since 1967. Our
strategies connect with people on university campuses, in high schools, with
families and churches and even overseas.
We are Power to Change, although you may have known us as Student Life
or Campus Crusade for Christ. Power to Change is part of an international
network known as Cru Global. Together we have around 17,000 missionaries
serving in over 190 countries.
We know that true change, through the person of Jesus is more powerful
than anything. Ready to make your own change?
For us, it is More Than a Job.
We care deeply about our mission. Our work is motivated by the love of
God and his Great Commission. We live and work with bold faith, we thrive
together with real team work and we continually seek to grow in our character,
and in fruitfulness.

To apply
As Power to Change has no central funds for paying stipends, our
missionaries raise a financial support team to allow them to serve in the
movement. As a full-time missionary the applicant will be assigned a financial
support coach who will help them through the support raising process. This
normally takes between 6 and 12 months. Power to Change is very experienced
with this method of funding mission work with over 150 people currently serving
in Australia using this model. For more information on this strategic mission
opportunity, please contact us.
