HEARTBEAT OF HOPE
We have an opportunity to bless three projects. God has given us so much and as a church, we believe that He has asked us to be generous with what he has given us so that we can join His mission and share hope with others.

PROJECT ONE
Second Chances SA
Spread Christmas Hope: Support Mentoring Camps for Children of Incarcerated Parents
This Christmas, you can make a lasting impact on children with parents in prison. Second Chances SA is a non-profit supporting these children and their families with programs designed to restore hope and build brighter futures across South Australia.
Many of these children face bullying, isolation, and feelings of hopelessness. Our Mentoring Camps provide a weekend away where kids can feel loved, valued, and supported. With small groups and a 2:1 staff-to-child ratio, the camps offer life skills, positive mentorship, and the chance to connect with others facing similar challenges.
Your donation this Christmas can help send a child to camp, giving them a safe space to learn, grow, and see a brighter future ahead.
Give the gift of hope—donate today.
Thank you for making a difference this season!
PROJECT TWO
Refugee crisis in Lebanon
Baptist World Aid
Baptist World Aid Australia is a movement of God’s people responding to Christ’s command to care for people living on the margins around the world. We dream of a world where poverty has ended and all people enjoy fullness of life as God intends.
If we were able to raise $5000, our priority would be to provide emergency bedding and hygiene items for 69 households.
Our Baptist Partner in Lebanon is working closely with the local Church to arrange safe shelter and distribute bedding, hygiene kits, and food.
People are crying out for assistance as more Lebanese towns become unsafe, and more families are forced to evacuate with nowhere to go. The number of displaced people is expected to rise rapidly.
‘Daily life has been upended as places like schools have turned from institutions of learning into shelters’ said our local Christian Partner.
With your support, our Baptist Partner in Lebanon can offer somewhere safe for their neighbours. But they can’t do it alone.
Will you help?
Your donation will mean our Baptist Partner in Lebanon can arrange shelter, and provide mattresses, bedding, blankets, hygiene kits, and food to families arriving with almost nothing.
PROJECT THREE
Gnaritas Learning Centre
SIM Aid
Help a community to expand their learning facility
This holiday season, you have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on a learning community in Southeast Asia. Gnaritas Education Foundation works in remote areas providing ongoing support for teachers, students, and university students. This includes professional development training, mentoring and retreats.
The Need for More rooms
Due to an increasing number of children attending activities at our complex, we need a larger space for students to learn and offices for teachers to work.
The Solution: A new Training Building
We plan to build a 6 by 9 meter training room. The lower walls will be constructed of 80cm-high besser blocks, with GRC timber planks above this. The frame will be made of hollow galvanized steel. The roof will be a gable roof made of spandek, and the ceiling will be made of kalsiboard.
Your Support Can Change Lives
SIM Aid Australia has agreed to support this project. Your financial support through Heartbeat of Hope will mean the children will have room to learn that will provide more space for them to grow and develop.
Donate today to make a difference. Together, we can educate a child and give that child every chance of a successful and bright future.
