2023 Snapshot
A look back on a wonderful year…
Following on from a wonderful year of partnering with churches and individuals, Jericho Road is excited to work with and for churches to enact our mission – to demonstrate the character of God by providing fresh hope and care for those who are in need, in a way that seeks justice, shows mercy, and makes Jesus known.
Our team has been encouraged by the involvement of many churches, big and small, across the state to actively respond to the command to love our neighbours. For some, they have been able to give generously to help us continue to provide centralised ministries. For others, they have been able to benefit from the advice and insight we offer around ministry to those with disabilities, or people from cross-cultural backgrounds. Others have been faithfully upholding our justice and mercy ministries in prayer.
It is a blessing to be part of a denomination that places value on practical, selfless Christ-like love – and to be able to support one another as we do so.
