After much prayer and thought, I feel that the Lord has lead me to organise a ministry that will serve the homeless, the poor and the marginalised in the Outer East of Melbourne. Not a community meal, or another agency, but a focal point for the community that provides advocacy, educates and agitates the community (and church).
So, at this stage, I seek your prayers as I formalise the legal side of things and seek a board to support the ministry. Further more, I would love to have some help with funding to cover the costs of formalisation, as well as start-up costs such as stationery, web presence etc. So, please prayerfully consider supporting this ministry. I believe that such a ministry is needed that walks beside people and seeks out ways to support and encourage folk in their journeys.
Yes, there are the community meals and churches that provide food parcels, clothes etc. And then there are the agencies that are there to help these folk. This ministry will seek to partner with these agencies and churches to be a link, a conduit in the Outer East that can partner folk for the journey ahead and seek to share the Gospel by action and community. A similar ministry is Project 614 in Melbourne City run by the Salvation Army.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss this with me, please contact me.
Financial support can be made on the support page.
