Joining with Jericho Road gives you and your church the opportunity to tell a new story on Jericho Road.
You can join us on the road by doing something at your church or you can be part of something at our place.
Jericho Road runs and supports a range of ministries and projects. When you donate, you can choose to direct your donation to a particular area, or have it go to wherever it’s needed at the time. Below you will see some of the ministries that we can run only with the financial help of our supporters.
Volunteer at Allowah!
You can be part of what happens at Allowah.
We are always looking for volunteers who can support the work of our dedicated staff. This could be anything from driving a bus to gardening to reading a story to one of the children to painting to singing to helping run church on a Sunday to sharing your expertise with computers… so many things!

Support our Cross-Cultural and Refugee Team!
Moving to a new country can be a difficult and lonely experience for many.
Would you like to explore how your church can reach those who are newly arrived in Australia? Are you interested in starting a cross-cultural ministry in your church?
Why not invite Andrew Adams to speak at your church, Bible study or youth group about refugee and cross-cultural ministry. Andrew would love to chat and share some of his own experiences in running a cross-cultural ministry at church. He shares what the Bible says about refugees and how we can show the love to Jesus to those around us.
Andrew is our Refugee & Cross-Cultural Support Worker.

Your church could run an English as a second language program.
This can be a great opportunity to meet and serve refugees and other migrants in your local area.

We partner with Sydney Refugee Team. They offer seminars for churches and groups to help them understand the experience of people seeking asylum and refuge and a biblical response to them. They also provide training for all volunteers.

Fundraise for Allowah!
We are always grateful to hear of churches, youth groups, community groups and businesses who come together to raise funds for Allowah.
There’s been bake sales, art auctions, car washes and more!

Your church can get involved in seeking justice, showing mercy and making the love of Jesus known in many different ways. You may be doing a lot already, or you may just be getting started.
Here are some things we know churches are doing on the ground already:
- Community Kitchen – Providing dinner to anyone in need of food or company
- Caring for the Community – Staying in touch with what’s happening in the neighbourhood, and if there is someone in need getting together a care pack and some meals
- Services – Holding a special service for those dealing with grief and loss, especially around Christmas
- Support – If there is someone in the local church who has a job working for justice or showing mercy, supporting them personally and supporting their work
- Helping the lonely – Putting on a Christmas lunch for those who will be alone or hosting an afternoon tea a few times a year
- Food – Operating a food ministry
- Playgroup – Running a playgroup, particularly one that is inclusive
- Support groups – Hosting support groups, such as one for parents of kids with disabilities, folk with mental illness, those dealing with grief and carers
- Study Hall – Providing a place for senior high school students who need a quiet space, a coffee and a listening ear
- Breakfast – Supporting a group that provides breakfasts for kids at school
If you’d like help setting something up, then get in contact with the Partner Ministries Team partnership@jerichoroad.org.au
If you already have a great story about how your church walks Jericho Road, let us know! We’d love to share your story with other churches to encourage them.
