You don’t have to look far into the world to know things are not as they ought to be. There are more people forcibly displaced now than in any other time in history.
But a gracious voice is rising in our nation.
Today, your gift helps fund a new Justice Coordinator role in Common Grace, to lead our movement in calling for peace, increased humanitarian assistance, and protection for people seeking asylum.
And with the ongoing horrors and conflicts escalating around the world, including Gaza, it is more important than ever that we organise ourselves to call for peace.
“Gaza, as we know it, no longer exists…We are tormented by the silence of the world,” Reverend Munther Isaac
As Christians, we know that peace is more than the absence of conflict. It is the presence of flourishing. And the work of justice seeks to reorder that which is broken, setting them right, and breaking down every barrier to God’s vision of the good intended for all.
In light of our shared humanity we are stirred to action.
Donate to help make Australia a place of safety and welcome to people seeking asylum.

How you’re helping:
✔️ Your donation helps extend care and welcome those who need safety.
✔️ Your donation will help inspire this movement to love our global and our local neighbours.
✔️ Your donation equips Christians to call on our nation’s leaders to act justly and generously.
When you donate to support the Asylum Seeker and Refugee Justice Coordinator role, you help call for welcome and safety to those who have been forced to flee their homes. You help a movement of Christians listen deeply, advocate, and take action for an Australia that responds in love and compassion.
James Harris has just been appointed in the role and will be volunteering with Common Grace until the end of this year. We need your support today to ensure we can continue this role into the future.
“One of the most paralysing feelings is knowing the scale of need, but not knowing how to help or where to start. In this role, based on years of experience and the wider wisdom and community of Common Grace, we will provide the tools and pathways to take Christ-like action for justice at a time of immense conflict and despair.”
James Harris.
Please help us raise $25,000 to fund this role and our campaigns for people seeking asylum in 2025.
In a recent meeting with the Minister for Immigration, James Harris convened Christian leaders together from across the nation to support the calls for emergency humanitarian visas.
"It is clear that despite differences across the theological and political within the Australian Church, people are coming together to say that safety and refuge for civilians in Gaza is something we are united on. It is not just in our ability to provide support. It is who we are." James Harris
A gracious voice is rising in our nation.
Join the chorus today and donate to support James in leading the Common Grace movement in advocating for justice for refugees and people seeking asylum, in Gaza and beyond.
