CBD MINISTRY
Friday Nights Outreach

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do” says the Lord of Heaven’s armies, “ I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! put me to the test!”Malachi 3:10.

We had 2 answers to prayers already in the past few months. One thing we asked the Lord is for more volunteers on Friday nights. We have now 6 more volunteers who are determined to come every week! Nadia and John from Hope House Ministry have been faithful servants with food delivery every Friday night for some time and now they are coming to Ward Park to serve as well! And they bring volunteers too! what a blessing it is to have them with us. They come with a van so full that we sometimes come back from our outing with leftovers! Jesus is still multiplying the 5 loaves of bread. Amen! We serve hot meals to about 300 people every week and we are now able to offer fruits, vegetables, canned food, rice, chocolate, and the list goes on. That’s another answer to prayer! So thank you Jesus for your provision!

BLACKTOWN MINISTRY

What a busy Tuesday night. The guy did not have a shirt, yelled at us initially because we could not understand what he wanted in his coffee and came back later and apologised. Another person offered him a shirt, that he had in his backpack. Then we had the lady with tattoos all over her, who you could see had had a hard life but was appreciative of everything we did for her. There was also a guy who just got out of Parklea Prison and was blown away by getting a pie, a coffee all given to him with a smile. Then there were the opportunities to minister. The Sikh who was very open to what we were saying to him. (Sikhs believe in a God as well as equality, social justice, service to humanity, and tolerance for other religions.) We were able to explain the Bible to him and he took, a NT plus the Jesus book. Then there was the lady I was able to explain the difference between good works and the Christian concept of salvation, It was a good conversation that she listened to including scriptures read to her. She took a NT. In the meantime, we gave out scriptures and many tracts. We are only there for about 2 hours and and is such a productive time.

BROOKVALE MINISTRY

The Brookvale ministry is going well, an influx of people are taking Bibles home and receiving prayer! Just last week, two of our street friends, who are Japanese students, said the salvation prayer and gave their heart to the Lord. We are building relationships with the youth, and seeing some of them open up to our volunteers.

The BBQ is a hit, with lots of regulars requesting their favourites and we are looking to increase our volunteers so, please reach out if you can help! If you have a passion to reach out to the youth with the love of Jesus please contact Sophie on: 04 35 167 000, northernbeaches@jesuscares.com.au.

Annual BBQ

On the 25th of February was held our annual BBQ to give thanks to our volunteers. Around 40 people came and were served a beautiful dinner in the South Sydney Anglican Church's courtyard at Redfern. All in all a very successful gathering with our brothers and sisters who come to help the poor and the disadvantaged in our community very faithfully every week. Among those volunteers, we give a special thank you to KL and Ajitha who are showing true leadership while Alex and I are away, and also to Craig and Terry who have been a blessing to the ministry since we "landed "in Redfern church just a year ago. Thank you so much everybody, we love you and could not do it without you.

Christmas Celebration 2023

Our Christmas party in Belmore Park was so far the best we ever had! It was so relaxed and peaceful. Eddie from Glory International Church gave another beautiful message and everyone was very attentive. Pastor Paul and Mia, and their son Nathan came with their musical instruments and played a lot of Christmas carols which everyone enjoyed. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who contributed and volunteered to make this celebration possible. We extend a special appreciation to LifeSource Church for generously supplying items for 150 hampers this year again, as well as to Nadia and John from Hope House for their additional donation of 100 hampers. Your support has made a significant impact and brought joy to many.
