Event Details
Caleb and Joey are social workers who work and interact daily with the vulnerable in our society, including troubled families and adults with special needs. They would tell us that the job of caring opens us up to pain. But is caring just the business for professionals like them? As bearers of God’s love and presence, how can we all learn to practise this missional role in caring for the vulnerable, both at work and in our community? As employers, colleagues and leaders, what can we give and do, in our own capacity and as a caring community?
Join us in this Missions (Breakfast) Webinar as we invite 2 young practitioners in missions to share some practical ways the Church can be mobilised to serve both the vulnerable and the caregivers in our midst.
