Worldwide, 385 million children live in extreme poverty. Poverty robs children of their basic rights to learn, play and grow. In its ugliest form, poverty can lead to exploitation, child labour and even death. It's unacceptable. That's why the Child Sponsorship Program of Compassion exists. Because more powerful than poverty is the hope of Jesus, the care of a local church and the encouragement of you: a loving sponsor.

We tend to forget though that it is a two way relationship. While we are caring for these children physically and spiritually, they are also praying for us! Watch the video of sponsor children praying - it is inspiring and humbling at the same time.

We are finally celebrating our 50th Birthday!

Join us at the Yarralumla Woolshed for our Celebration Service followed by a catered lunch, brought to us by Coast to Coast the Golden Roast.

Even though we will be providing some heating, it's going to be cold, so dress warmly;

Ugg Boots and Beanies will be a must! BYO chair.

Places are strictly limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
