HOPE Activities in 2017
​
A number of charitable organisations were assisted by donations of food, phone cards and

Brisbane Christian Church and heartfelt thanks go out for such a magnificent response to the
call. The organisations to which assistance was given are:-

• Immigrant Womens Support Service
• Sisters Inside (assists women released from prison)
• Micah Projects (assists homeless people)
• Sakina (womens domestic violence refuge)
• Bahloo Womens Youth Centre
• Mary & Marthʼs Womens Refuge
• World Wellness Group (assists marginalised migrants & refugees)

Organisatons to which donations were given were profoundly grateful as expressed by the
letters of thanks and cards which have been received (see below).

HOPE was also registered during the year with Volunteering Queensland as an organisation
that can provide people to help in the event of natural disasters.

New Activities Being Planned for 2018

Further assistance is planned for organisations which assist victims of domestic violence, for
the homeless, migrants and refugees.

A new initiative is being planned for 2018 to provide Welcoming & Assistance to disciples who
relocate to the Brisbane Church from else where in Australia and more particularly, from
overseas.

Members of the HOPE organising committee would like to extend their thanks for the
wonderful level of support received and to wish all members of the Church - BEST WISHES
FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON IN WHICH WE REMEMBER WITH GREAT JOY, THE BIRTH
