Airlie Beach Outreach Details

On our outreach to Airlie Beach from December 29January 3 we experienced many stories of hope, love and
healing, but also rejection. As a group we learned what it was
to step out of our comfort zones and just love on people of
every type. It was a time of humbling each individual to serve
and care for the community until the late hours of the night
and during the hot hours of the day. We emphasised the fact
that all this, that missions and service, is not about us. So we
put our feelings aside and loved and embraced Airlie beach
with all we have Yes, we have many stories of rejection, but
even more stories of bringing a light into a lost city. Bring hope
to addicts and drunks, to the young and old, to the homeless
and fortunate. And all it took was a question on the side of
the street to initiate a possibly life changing conversation:
