World Vision Australia
World Vision Australia is an ecumenical Christian non-governmental organisation based in Melbourne, Australia. It is a part of the ''World Vision Partnership'' led by World Vision International.
== History ==
World Vision Australia was founded in 1966 after a proposal to start a new office in Australia by Bernard Barron, the head of World Vision Canada, and after startup funds were provided by the headquarters of World Vision in the United States. Greame Irvine, an evangelical Christian, was at the head of the Australian branch of World Vision. The first project of World Vision Australia was related to Vietnam.〔Greame Irvine: "Best Things in the Worst Times: An Insiders View of World Vision" BookPartners, Inc. (1996) ISBN 1-885221-37-1 p. 27-37〕
The head of World Vision Australia, Greame Irvine, was 1978 also among the signers of the ''Declaration of Internationalization'', which declared a set of objectives for World Vision and also defined a ''Statement of Faith'' that corresponds to the ''Statement of Faith''〔(Statement of Faith ) of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) used as standard for their evangelical convictions ()〕 put forward by the American National Association of Evangelicals as standard for their evangelical convictions as the theological frame in which World Vision International and its national offices like World Vision Australia have to operate.〔''A Declaration of Internationalization'' (1978) Appendix D in J.R.Hamilton: "An Historical Study of Bob Pierce and World Vision's Development of the Evangelical Social Action Film" Dissertation, University of Southern California, 1980,〕 Greame Irvine became 1988 the first non-American president of World Vision International.
World Vision Australia, like the whole World Vision organization, began in the 1970s with development work instead of mainly emergency relief as before. Like all other members of the World Vision Partnership it is committed to the concept of transformational development,〔"World Vision Mission Statement." In: Graeme Irvine: "Best Things in the Worst Times: An Insiders View of World Vision", BookPartners, Inc. (1996) ISBN 1-885221-37-1, Appendix C.〕 which is cast in a biblical framework and in which evangelization is an inseparable integral part of development work.〔see e.g. Bryant L. Myer: "Walking with the Poor: Principles and Practice of Transformational Development" ISBN 1-57075-275-3 (1999)〕 Greame Irvine gives as an example for transformational development the change in an indonesian village where after development work malnutrition had disappeared and everyone had become a believer in Jesus Christ, including the former witch doctor, who presented a bowl with ashes in it where he had burned his idols and fetishes.〔Greame Irvine: "Best Things in the Worst Times: An Insiders View of World Vision" BookPartners, Inc. (1996) ISBN 1-885221-37-1 p.64〕
