LET'S DO IT - 'YES WE CARE'

Yes! We Care 2009 was a great success with hundreds of home helped by volunteers across the greater Brisbane region from many churches getting involved in giving needy people a hand in backyard clean ups, weeding, window cleaning etc.

I took part in it in year 2007. What touched my heart the most was when I saw the appreciation in the eyes of the aged people for the help they received from us. It only required a few hours of my time and not too much of sweat but imagined it could be a few days of hard work and inconvenience to the aged or burdened family.
I remembered when we gathered in the church before departure for the cleaning job, I saw some older people were part of the event too. It encouraged me so much to see that people whom are at an older age and a weaker body would avail themselves to bless others in the community, how much more should I as a person at a younger age and a complete body go forth and contribute to the community when I am given the chance to?

This year 2010 - another occasion is set for Christians across the city to demonstrate in a practical and united way, the love of God to people who need a helping hand in some way. We clean, wash windows, remove rubbish to the tip, repair fences, screen doors etc etc.

Day’s Programme

^{Matthew 25:40-43}

⁴⁰"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' ⁴¹"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴²For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, ⁴³I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
