Join in prayer with Christians in your community to #EndTheWaiting.
In Australia, we are thankful for the humanitarian resettlement program, and the efforts by the Government when they were first elected, to help 20,000 asylum seekers living in limbo find a pathway to permanent settlement. However, thousands of people who have sought safety on our shores still remain in limbo, facing an uncertain future. Many have lived here for years — raising families, working, contributing — yet remain denied permanent protection.
Every day of waiting chips away at hope, dignity, and the possibility of rebuilding life.
Common Grace and the National Council of Churches are calling christian communities across Australia to join together in a powerful movement of prayer through the ‘100 Days to End the Waiting’ campaign.
Can you join in hosting a prayer vigil in your community?
Over 100 days, from August - November, communities throughout the country are invited to hold a peaceful prayer vigil near MPs offices, praying for justice for people seeking asylum and calling to #EndTheWaiting for thousands of people, like Mina, who have sought safety on our shores but still remain in limbo, facing an uncertain future.
