A journey of hope
Imagine a world where, every night, nearly 10,000 people in Brisbane find themselves without a place to call home. Unfortunately, we don't need to imagine this scenario because it's a stark reality.
Now, imagine another world. A world where warmth, nourishment, and hope are not mere wishes but daily realities for those who need them the most.
This is the world we strive to create at Emmanuel City Mission, guided by faith and filled with hope, thanks to compassionate supporters like you.
With your donation we can continue to transform lives, one act of kindness at a time.
John’s* story of transformation
Meet John*. When the doors of Emmanuel City Mission open every morning at 7am, his face lights up. John is often the first person through the door, and it’s no wonder. His worries melt away with that first hot cup of coffee and a belly full of food.
A friendly chat with friends sets him up for a positive day.
Perhaps the most profound transformation happens when John steps into a hot shower. It’s not just about cleansing his body; it’s about rejuvenating his spirit. That simple act gives John hope, and hope can move mountains.
John's story reflects the profound impact your generosity can have and reminds us that we're all part of the journey of faith, guided by hope, and in creating a brighter tomorrow.
* While John's story is inspired by real experiences, the name "John" is a fictional representation created to protect the privacy of those we serve.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. ~ Romans 15:13
