Top End Global 2025
Do you feel the joy that mission brings both to the nations and to us?
We often focus on the sacrifice of mission or the plight of the world, but the Bible tells us that the nations will be glad – there will be, and there is, rejoicing and praise!
What does it look like to join with the nations in their gladness? Joyful Mission challenges us to see how God is at work around the world redeeming sadness, brokenness and fear to bring joy to those who love Him and seek Him.
Top End Global takes place in Darwin and is a must attend mission event for your calendar!
It is a one-day conference filled with insightful talks, rich worship and life stories from our Gospel Workers. Top End Global will both celebrate the mission that has come and continues in the Top End, as well as enrich our understanding of both gospel and mission calling.
CMS exists to see a world that knows Jesus through partnering with churches to equip, send and support gospel workers as they share about Jesus across cultures. At Top End Global 2025 you’ll hear how partnership with CMS is helping to reach the nations with the good news of Jesus.

Ben is Corinne’s husband and Moya, Darcy and Jacob’s dad. He is also the grandson of CMS missionaries. For the last ten years he has had the joy and privilege of pastoring Barneys Church Croydon. He loves running, eating Asian food, and playing board games.
Karina Brabham
Karina is a CMS Missionary in France working with university students. In France many young people view the Church as archaic and irrelevant, and those who know the gospel of Christ are a minority (less than 2% of the population). Karina will share how God is working in the hearts of young people in France as well as what she has learnt about crossing cultures to serve Jesus.
