Dear HealthServe Australia members and friends,

We are so grateful for the generosity of members and friends of HealthServe Australia. We share a Christ centred approach to the pursuit of Kingdom outcomes.

Our posture for service is not driven by results but by nurturing relationships. Rather than loving money and using people we choose to love people and use money; thus, we resolve to follow the example of Christ and serve people humbly while doing everything with love. Aligned with a stewardship view of resources,  we seek to mobilize spiritually gifted people. We want to help God’s people find a place in kingdom ministry that matches the gifts God has given them, while also exhorting everyone to demonstrate radical Christian generosity. As leaders we must model the way of obedience in this area. We do this by putting all we are and all we have to work in order to make known the gospel (https://generositymonk.com/the-choice/) as we demonstrate values of a new kingdom.

In recent months, the recommencement of work in South Sudan in the Medical and nursing training college in Bor is a great encouragement. We thank God for the lives of Owen Lewis and Anil and Shalini Cherian and the many student and teachers working together. .

We are humbled by the faithfulness of Rev. Santino who after many years of prayerful persistence has seen the construction of a well, which truly does give life giving water in a parched land, and in the building of a foundation for a health clinic in Wedweill South Sudan.

In Indonesia we thank all for the important ministry of Gerasa Bali that demonstrates compassion and kindness and brings new life, hope and opportunities to the night people of a major tourist site. And also we are grateful for partnership with and  the work of The Nation’s Torch Of Love Foundation (In Indonesian: Yayasan Suluh Kasih Bangsa)

Their Lombok and Central Celebes Health Worker Training has trained  those who are going the earthquakes and Tsunami areas in Lombok Island and Central Celebes (Palu City, Donggala, and Sigi Regencies). By equipping the lay people with abilities and skills to work as Health Workers they will not only able to take care of the refugees’ health concerns, they can also have in practical ways share God’s Love to the people. This training hopes to change the focus of Health Issues from Curative / Rehabilitative to Preventive and Promotive. Thus, the Health Issues may shift from Personal Approach to Community Approach. The Training provides every trainee with abilities to use a First Aid Bag with medicines (in the scope of a health worker, not to go beyond the boundary of medical practitioner), health tools and instruments that may be helpful in the fields.
