Graham has been working in the field of evangelism for many decades and is convinced that shopping centres are a key space to reach secular Australian for Jesus.

His approach to urban mission, so to speak, has been largely informed by the training from Sports Chaplaincy Australia and an online course from Urban Revs.
The stories that Graham tells are extraordinary. Situated in shopping centres, Graham and his team come across people every week and form relationships that would otherwise never happen. People, over time, feel safe and comfortable to talk to Graham and his team of shopping centre chaplains. Gospel seeds and hope are encountering the lives of everyday Aussie each week, it’s a wonderful story.

I Left the Church To Be the Church

Tina Waldrom speaks with Cam Butler from Urban Revs. In 1998, Cam left the church to be the church. Cam loves the church and was happily employed as a local pastor when he felt compelled to leave his position. He had an overwhelming desire to take the Kingdom of God to the community in new and relevant ways.
The Lord sent Cam on mission where he became the chaplain to the Melbourne Demons, an Australian Rules Football team. The stories he shares in this episode are enlightening and encouraging. From there he became the National Director for what is now Sports Chaplaincy Australia. He is currently heading the work of Urban Revs in Australia, training the church to take the Kingdom of God to the community in fresh and exciting ways.
The many years of experience that Cam has taking the Kingdom to the community are invaluable. His insights and wisdom are now being used to mobilise many churches to take the gospel outside the four walls of the church. His ideas are being implemented by many including Gary Rucci in Queensland. Cam has some very clear and practical tips to help churches and everyday believers be effective in this space.
