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.

The more connected we are to God, the more connected we are to the world around us. The more we know his love, the more love we have to give to others.

Stories of love in action

Contextualisation or syncretism?

“It was their church that was at the brink of being birthed, and they must come up with their own contextualised way of conducting baptisms.”

Still needed and wanted

“They want mission workers who will work with them, under them, alongside them.”

Green in the home and workplace

I’ve always been interested in how a Christian care for the environment can be expressed in the workplace. Several years ago, three strands providentially came together to set me in a new direction.

Hearts in colours

We spread out paper and simple art supplies. Nothing is complicated or technical, but to these women whose daily lives are shaped by displacement and feelings of helplessness, gentle guidance is necessary as we begin to transform blank pages with colour and form.
