Good Morning! 🌼

One day, Gregorio hopes to be able to put his granddaughter, Sabrina, through school.

He and his wife Luz live on a small island in the Philippines.

Sabrina, 3, and her sister live with him - her father was killed in a fishing accident, and her mother works on another island.

Gregorio fishes to provide for his family, but at times his nets come up empty.

But through a program of our local Anglican partner, Gregorio and Luz received a small start-up loan and learnt new methods of farming and pig-raising.

When fish stocks are low, they now have garden produce to eat and pigs to breed and sell. With this income, they can put aside a little for Sabrina’s education.

“For as long as I live, I will continue supporting Sabrina,” says Gregorio.

As we approach June 30, your tax-deductible gift can help more families like Gregorio's grow their income and achieve a better future for their children and grandchildren.

And thanks to our partnership with the Australian Government, every $1 you give unlocks up to $5 more, multiplying your impact.

Please give generously:

Our work in the Philippines is gratefully supported by the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER

Heavenly Father, as we rise this Thursday morning, fill us with strength, courage, and wisdom. When hardships come our way, help us stand firm in faith and trust that You are always with us. Give us peaceful hearts, strong minds, and steady hands to face every challenge that life brings today.

Lord, remind us that no burden is too heavy when we walk with You. Renew our energy, protect our families, and guide our steps toward hope, healing, and better days. May we overcome struggles with grace, patience, and unwavering faith. Amen.

National Reconciliation Week – 27th May – 3rd June

Wednesday - Opening Prayer - A Gathering of Hearts

Loving God, Ancient Creator of all peoples and all lands,
we come before you at the start of this
National Reconciliation Week
with open hands and honest hearts.

You formed our ancient Dreaming,
shaping this Great South Land so long ago,
and placed here First Nations people,
whose continued connection to Country
is deep, sacred, and enduring.

Prepare our hearts to confess that we do not live as one people.
We harbour prejudice where we should offer compassion,
silence where we should speak truth,
and comfort where we should chose courage.

Today, we long to say: we are all in.
Not for a week. Not for a season.
But for every ordinary Wednesday,
every conversation at every table,
every choice to listen before we speak.

Gather us together, God - First Nations and immigrant,
old and young, certain and still learning.
Make us one people, walking together,
in love, hope and justice.
Amen.
