Westcare

In the community of Sunshine, Victoria there functions an extraordinary array of social services known as Westcare. Under the leadership of John Avent, this vital ministry is one of the reasons the Salvos are so respected and needed.

We witnessed the presentation of Hugh Williamson Scholarships to staff and clients for their advancement as well as the community in which they live and serve. Proper representation from the Victorian government was present and accounted for.

It was a good day to witness the grace of God throughout professional social services. God, help us to help the children and young people who come to us. May they find your peace and love and joy. Hallelujah!

Isaiah 33:2 (MSG)
2 God, treat us kindly. You're our only hope. First thing in the morning, be there for us! When things go bad, help us out!
