The Faith Experiment - Masterclass Series
2024-08-03 18:30 - 21:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Russell st, Russell Street, St Albion Park, NSW, 2527, Australia
Many people are deeply troubled by: Inflation, The Ukraine war; the fallout of COVID-19; political, social & economic upheaval and uncertainty; international tensions & conflicts; terrorism; climate change; and the rapid pace at which AI and technology continue to expand. All of this is creating feelings of anxiety about the future, which makes it reasonable to wonder, “What does the future hold?” This series invites you to take the journey of a lifetime, in which you will travel to lost civilisations to understand the significance of current global events, which will inevitably shape how the future unfolds. The Faith Experiment looks at irrefutable evidence from history, archaeology and ancient manuscripts.
You are personally invited to join speaker Robbie Berghan as to embark on this 8 night faith experiment together.
Robbie Berghan is a sought-after international speaker and Bible prophecy teacher who has lectured in more than 30 countries around the world on various biblical themes. He has degrees in engineering, computer science and religion and has lived in 4 different countries, studying world cultures and religions. Robbie has appeared in a number of documentaries, TV and radio programs and is the host of the podcast “The Faith Experiment”. Currently, he is a speaker on Faith FM Radio, where he connects ancient scriptures to contemporary everyday life.

Right Around Australia 2025
2025-02-20
2025 Mission Journey: Right Around Australia

Join us in retracing the mission trip of 22-year-old Seventh-day Adventist Nevill Westwood on his exhilarating 1925 journey around Australia. Just as Nevill set off in his trusty Citroën 5CV, we are retracing the expedition he and Greg Davies undertook a century ago, in an identical reconstructed vehicle, on our 2025 journey “Right Around Australia“.

The Men – Nevill Westwood & Greg Davies

After becoming an Adventist in 1921 at the age of 18, Nevill Westwood enrolled in the missionary course at Darling Range School; today it’s called Carmel Adventist College. It is here where he met the two-years-older Greg Davis. Nevill responded to a call for missionaries to travel through the northwest of Western Australia to sell a book explaining the prophecies of the Bible. It was entitled “Our Day in the Light of Prophecy”. He also had a keen interest in automobiles and possessed exceptional mechanical skills, which served him well during his journey. There he made some fascinating experiences and learned a lot about his fellow Australians during the journey.

The Citroën 5CV – “Bubsie”

The Citroën was a 1923 5CV model. Nevill bought this car second-hand in Perth. He named the little car Bubsie and left Perth with his friend, Greg Davies, in the Citroën on 4 August 1925, on his trip around Australia. See his original trip and our planned journey in the graphics below. The original Bubsie can be seen in the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. Go here to find out about the reconstruction of our Citroën 5CV for the 2025 journey.

Retracing an Incredible Journey
Just as the Apostle Paul’s missionary journeys captured the imagination of Nevill Westwood, so Nevill’s missionary journey has captured our imagination at ‘The Incredible Journey‘. And so, after 2 years of planning and discussion with Citroën Australia and the National Museum in Canberra, where the original ‘Bubsie’ is on display, ‘The Incredible Journey‘ has big plans to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this pioneering event in 2025 by retracing this incredible Journey.

These plans include:

1. Retracing the steps of Nevill Westwood on his missionary trip around Australia in a similar 1923 Citroën 5CV
2. Re-enacting a number of scenes from the original expedition
3. Sharing the Everlasting Gospel as we go, in the true spirit of Nevill’s journey. This will include conducting major evangelistic campaigns in all the state capitals of Australia, as well as outreach programs and other forms of evangelism in many of the smaller regional centres, and across rural Australia.
4. Producing a number of television programs for national and international broadcast
5. Producing social media content on a daily basis that portrays each day’s activities
6. Engaging with all forms of local and national media to promote the incredible journey of this young Seventh-day Adventist missionary/evangelist pioneer, and the message he shared along the way
The Plan and Proposed Stops
Get ready to embark on an incredible journey with us in 2025! We have an awesome overview map showcasing our route’s planned stops. And guess what? You can even zoom in to get more details about each location.
We want everyone to feel included! If your city isn’t on our plan yet and you’d love for us to swing by, give us a shout. We’ll do our best to work it out. So don’t hesitate to contact us, and let’s see if we can add your town!

100 days of prayer
2025-04-04 - 2025-07-12 | online
Welcome to 100 Days of Prayer
We are living in a world full of digital distractions, consuming cares, busyness, and broken down altars of worship. If you are feeling in need of a fresh re-boot in your spiritual journey, desiring to rebuild or strengthen your altar of worship, longing for more Holy Spirit revival fire to be poured out on your life, or simply looking for an evangelistic tool to bring others to a deep relationship with Jesus, you’ve come to the right place.
“Then Elijah said to all the people, ‘Come near to me.’ So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD [that was] broken down.” 1 Kings 18:30
Over the course of fourteen weeks (April 4 – July 12, 2025), we will be praying for an outpouring of the Latter Rain on our world church, growing together as disciples for the Kingdom, and preparing our hearts for Jesus’ soon return.
Each Friday morning, during the Back to the Altar | 100 Days of Prayer, all those registered will receive an e-mail which will include:

A short revival or miracle testimony to build faith
A short but packed inspirational Back to the Altar themed Bible study

This study will include fun interactive activities and questions that one can do alone, with friends/family, the church, or a small group.

It will include personal heart challenges and inspiring video illustrations.

It will include practical spiritual disciplines to incorporate into your daily life, as well as much, much more.

Participants can sign up to receive a daily “prayer focus” on WhatsApp.
Those who desire can also participate in a 1 hour weekly revival session on zoom hosted by members of the Back to the Altar leadership team. This revival session will take place every Sunday at 6:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (10:00 UTC) and will be in English.

Health Week
2025-05-10 - 2025-05-17
The theme “Breaking Chains” highlights the reality that addiction goes beyond drugs or alcohol. “When we hear the word ‘addictions’ we often think in terms of drugs or alcohol, but there are many other types of addiction that fall under a category of behavioural addictions,” said Pamela Townend, South Pacific Division health coordinator. “Examples of this are food, exercise, work and shopping, to name just a few.”
To support churches and individuals during Adventist Health Week, a suite of resources is available, including:

Breaking Chains devotional series (for personal or group study)
Social media posts (to raise awareness throughout the week)
Church bulletin announcements (to keep members informed and engaged)

Resources for Health Week can be downloaded here.
