We can only look to our Lord
With social distancing in place, and people staying home, this is good, but in a country where so many people live paycheck to paycheck, “no work” means “no pay”.
Working for transformation
We have many opportunities to spend time with the people we work with.
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.
Speak up for us
Each week I visit refugees who are being detained in the Immigration Detention Centre. Having left their country in fear of their lives, they now live in a country which does not recognise them or give them any legal rights. My fears pale in comparison.
The church continues
This church community was eager to gather and learn more about this Prince of Peace, and not even physical distancing would hinder them.
Grant us wisdom and courage
I marvelled at the words of an old hymn this week, ‘Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage for the facing of this hour!’, words that seem so appropriate for this moment.
You came back!
“You came back, from your safe country to this scary situation?”
Serving our country
For us as a family, life is taking a different pace.
Working for children’s health
In the few minutes I see each child, I try to give them my full attention and make them understand that they are precious and loved by our Father.
Archaeology is my love language
Doing my job as an archaeologist is a way to love Central Asians.
The Richter effect
“They have lived sacrificially to help the people of this marginalised area. But, being from another province, they are considered outsiders …”
Small beginnings
We are learning that sometimes small, seemingly insignificant things can have a big impact … like our two small veggie patches.
Singing a New Song
Ethnomusicology within the context of missions! How does this help bring God’s love to people? Jonathan has worked in Bangladesh for more than six years, encouraging people to worship God deeply and meaningfully using their own cultural expressions.
A prayer for Christmas
Thank you for giving us your Son, this most precious gift.
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.
Lachie’s story
"I saw God touch my life."
The Great Physician
It is my desire that healthcare workers may come to know Jesus, the Great Physician.
Q&A with a Doctor
We can serve our patients well if our hearts and our brains and our values are all connected.
God the Master Craftsman
Before I headed off as an On Tracker for four months, I was told that the experience would change my life. I smiled and nodded; it was just for four months…
The best place to be
Can you imagine being woken up by the orchestral sounds of birds, indigenous music and singing, and fervent prayers at 5am every morning? I lay on a hard wooden bed in a simple hut in rural Asia and was deeply touched by the presence of God.
OSCaR: a story about software
On the face of it, software development can seem like a stodgy business, and it wasn’t what Chris had in mind when he and his family left Adelaide. But this project has already had an impact on Cambodian society, and the kids Children In Families follows up every day.
