A commanded work, already begun.
We spearhead all that Christ has commanded in the underserved regions of the Pacific, beginning in remote Malaita where the challenges are great and proportional to the opportunity.
Our thesis is this: all spiritual and material fruit grows from proximity to the gospel. Cultural fluency, social trust, and patient capital open a way forward where others see only risk. We are not introducing Christ to a place He has not already claimed. We are called to collect what is His, and so we obey the Great Commission through gospel proclamation and discipleship, worked out in the local church, in education, in health, and in infrastructure.
To reach Jordan Village you still walk several hours from the nearest road, and the materials for the clinic and school were carried in on foot. In that setting we opened the Jordan Medical Clinic in 2024, began construction and teacher training for Emarald Baptist School, secured a memorandum of understanding with 13 tribal leaders for a community road serving isolated villages, and are preparing an annual pastors’ conference to equip local shepherds. We are also pursuing partnerships for aerial access, energy, and telecommunications, so that care and teaching are not permanently bound to a footpath.
The road is agreed and still unbuilt. The school is rising and not yet finished. The next stage of this work will require churches, families, and like-minded partners willing to pray, to give, and to send skill. We welcome you to take a share in collecting what Christ has already claimed, and in building the future that is promised.
What we believe
We are a Baptist mission. Scripture is sufficient for faith and practice. The local church is the ordinary means by which Christ makes disciples. The gospel is to be preached, not assumed. Mercy, schooling, and infrastructure are not a substitute for that preaching. They are part of teaching the nations to observe all that He commanded.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
That is the warrant for the clinic and the road as much as for the pulpit. We do not run a development programme with a Christian preface. We obey a commission, in a particular place, with particular people.
Who’s behind PBM
Pacific Baptist Mission began when a local church in Brisbane, Australia, turned outward toward the Pacific. It is still ordinary members of that church who give, pray, and go to serve local people in the Solomon Islands—beginning in remote Malaita.
On the ground we work with and under local churches and leaders. We are not running a project done to a community; we share in the labour of the gospel in a place we are privileged to know.
