History of Jesus Cares
|
Jesus Cares started in 1987 through the vision of John Jones, who heard that there were street kids as young as 7 in and around Kings Cross. John gathered a group of people together who started a coffee shop in Kings Cross which eventually led to a Ministry Centre and Van ministry. The Van Ministry was a way of reaching street kids, the homeless and those marginalised by society.
This ministry now has vans ministering in the inner city of Sydney, and around the Blacktown / Seven Hills / Parramatta area.
It not only encompasses the van where we reach out with food & clothing and the love of Jesus, we also run a Sunday fellowship meeting at Yurong Parkway Childcare Centre playground Wooloomooloo (City), where our street friends and all those who come can be part of a fellowship where they can hear the Gospel, participate in praise & worship, recieve prayer and healing. ie; "A Church With No Walls"
When this ministry started none of us had any knowledge about the drug culture or any other aspects of street life.
It could be said we had no money, no experience and no brains.
Nonetheless God used us and He continues to use us.
Those of us who have been involved with Jesus Cares for a long time, can look back on our life and see how much God has changed us.
JESUS CARES Ministry gives ordinary people from the body of Christ an opportunity to walk in MATTHEW 25 to serve the King of Kings and to serve others.
If you want God to use you and you would like to serve in these areas please contact Bill for more information.
