Go love the world - Interserve Australia

What does love look like in a COVID-19 world?

For some of our Interserve workers in Asia, it looks like walking alongside Leia*, mother of five, through the pressures of her life. Working from 4am, Leia sorts through rubbish for recycling, earning little more than $2 a day.

Leia’s job became even harder when COVID-19 meant tourists stopped visiting, restaurants closed, and therefore there was much less rubbish to sort. Her income reduced significantly and she felt the burden of providing for her children, one of whom has a disability.

Interserve workers came alongside Leia and her family, demonstrating love in action through counselling, prayer, mental health support and practical care.

when we walk alongside.

when we put faith in action.

when we go love the world.

It shows up when we walk alongside people like Leia. She is our neighbour, and this love reflects the heart of Christ.

We invite you to Go Love the World with us. Support Interserve workers as they serve their neighbours across Asia, Australia, and the Arab world.

Stories of love in action

Thinking about good stewardship

I find myself wanting to support these businesses even though I am not a ‘die-in-the-ditch’ organic consumer. The social, environmental and health outcomes offer an excellent wholistic context in which to minister to the owners, employees, other farmers and customers.

The housewife and the shopkeeper

Saule worked seven days a week, twelve hours a day. She worked hard to support her family back home. “What’s your dream, Saule? If you weren’t working in this job, what would you rather be doing?”

Serving our country

For us as a family, life is taking a different pace.

Listening with respect

They entered sad and left smiling. To be listened to with respect and cared for was a new experience for them.
