“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into his harvest field” Matthew 9:37-38
Cornerstone Ministry is based in Australia and established in 1999. As an evangelistic outreach ministry, we run evangelistic programs in various parts of the world including Africa, India, Asia and the South Pacific nations. This work is conducted through public and prison evangelistic programs, along with a team of full-time Bible workers. Our team also trains lay people in the art of preaching, evangelism and witnessing through weekend and one week training schools.
As a ministry, we feel the urgent need to reach the world today! If you are paying attention to world events, we are clearly living in troubled times. Never have we seen so many natural disasters, economic tensions and political unrest as we see around the world today.
We plan to make every effort to grow the Kingdom of God, and we need you more than ever to partner with us in God’s work. Our goal is to take the Gospel to the world as Jesus commissioned us to do.
We rely 100% on God and His faithful people! It’s only through your prayers and financial support that this work is made possible.
“I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me” Matthew 25:36
Today there are thousands in prisons around the world, and Jesus is asking you to visit them and meet their spiritual and physical needs.
Cornerstone Ministries has been working in African prisons for many years and seen the dreadful condition the prisoners live in. Most prisoners sleep on crowded concrete floors, often without mats or blankets. There is frequently a lack of food, as most prisoners only receive one meal per day; and items like soap and clothing are scarce. These are all terrible parts of prison life, but worst of all, for most there is no knowledge of the love of Jesus Christ and the hope of salvation.
In recent years we have seen over 1000 prisoners give their lives to Jesus Christ because of our prison ministry work. Some of these prisoners have been released since and have started churches and become Ministers and Bible Workers.
Please help us financially to continue this ministry by bringing hope and light to those in these dreadful prison conditions.
“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalms 68:11
Bring hope and encouragement to the world. The Bible tells us God has given us His Word; and he wants you and me to be part of the “great company” that publishes and shares the Bible with the world.
For as little as $4.00 you can help print distribute Bibles to believers and seekers in various countries.
Please partner with us! Your prayers and financial support place Bibles into the hands of the spiritually hungry.

The ministry is actively serving across multiple nations, with a primary focus on Africa, while also reaching communities in Vanuatu, India, the Philippines, various Pacific Islands and Australia. A significant part of our work involves prison ministry; bringing the Gospel to those behind bars. Through these outreach efforts, the ministry is impacting lives across three continents - Africa, Asia and Oceania - bringing hope, support, spiritual freedom and truth to diverse communities.
Cornerstone provides comprehensive training for Pastors, Bible Workers and Ministry leaders through in-depth programs led by Tony, Jason & Chris. These programs are designed to equip workers with strong biblical foundations, practical ministry skills and effective methods for outreach, discipleship, preaching and personal evangelism. The training helps those who attend in the their ability to share the gospel, conduct Bible studies, strengthen local churches and serve communities with greater impact.
By God's grace, Cornerstone has seen over 177,000 baptisms since its beginning in 1999. The year 2025 marked one of the most fruitful seasons in our history, culminating in more than 9,500 souls baptised into God's Remnant Church.
