To live out our purpose in our world, St Matts sends out and partners with gospel workers around the globe. We are committed to raising up and sending out people from our church with the good news of Jesus, so that many people can come to know him. We consider our Mission Partners to be part of our church, and we partner with them prayerfully, practically and financially.

Susanna Baldwin

Wycliffe, Darwin

Susanna is working on a translation of the Bible for Indigenous Australians called the Plain English Version (PEV). The PEV is different from other English translations in its language features: for example, it has no passive voice, since most Indigenous Australian languages do not have passive voice, and it uses verbs and adjectives instead of most abstract nouns, since abstract nouns are rare in Australian languages. Susanna is also involved in supporting Indigenous Christians who are working to translate Scripture into their own languages.
