Australia Leads Globally

Micah Australia - Anthony Albanese, Globally we know the worlds poorest nations face serious food security challenges. ReCharge News July 2022

Micah Australia Update

So far, we are encouraged by the strong start the new Australian Government has made in strengthening diplomatic relationships, especially at a time like this.

Straight after the election, the CEOs of Australia’s leading Christian international development agencies, came together under the banner of Micah to deliver this call for A Safer World for All.

One of the most worrying developments we see is the quickly approaching global food crisis. The climate crisis, accompanied by the war on Ukraine, has created the perfect storm for mass food security, particularly in the Horn of Africa and across the Middle East.

Micah is working on a significant response to this, with actions that you and your church can take to help fight famine. We will update you with these developments as they evolve.

In acknowledging the crises faced by our world, we hold firm to the hope we have in Jesus. Even amidst our fears and anxieties, we are called to: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.” (Proverbs 31:8).

Sri Lankan Crisis Appeal

Baptist Youth Mobilised to Raise Funds

Please support the distribution of dry rations in response to the economic crisis in Sri Lanka Appeal. The focus is to ask young people to contribute to the need.

The past 75 days we have seen the youth of Sri Lanka rise and stand for justice, fighting against corrupt and evil leadership. This crisis brings thousands, if not millions of people, into life below the poverty line into devastation.

This appeal is launched by the Asia Pacific Baptist Youth (APBY) in partnership with the Asia Pacific Baptist Aid (APBAid), together with the Baptist Young People’s Auxiliary (BYPA) as part of relief efforts towards the current crisis in Sri Lanka.

Please circulate this to the Youth Ministries as the request is for this to be driven by young people.

The dry ration distribution program was initiated by the social hub of the BYPA, upon identifying the need of a mechanism to support the daily essential needs of 556 families from 21 key Baptist Churches and 8 Mission Points and their surrounding communities.

The total amount to raise by the end of July is $US12,000. Any small contribution you make towards this will reach people who are in dire need.

Your contribution of:

$US44 Will provide a family of 4-6 food security for a month
$US22 Will provide a family of 4-6 food security for 2 weeks.
