Catalyst is an advocacy program that aims to learn about, pray about and take action on global justice issues. The Gateway Catalyst group is part of an Australia-wide network of Catalyst groups that is resourced and supported by Baptist World Aid Australia. This support includes the provision of bible study materials, training in how to speak to politicians and media, church newsletter snippets, briefing papers, a regular e-newsletter to keep up to date, a dedicated Catalyst website and more. 

The concept is simple - change happens when we speak out together. When we write a letter, visit our local MP,  pray or seek to raise community awareness there are other groups doing similar activities at the same time. This means that we are not a lone voice for justice but we are part of a wider campaign during which many voices will be heard. This greatly increases the possibilities for advocacy to be successful.

Catalyst is also part of the international Micah Challenge coalition.
